Anybody else seen The Terminal?

I saw it in the movie theater, a few years ago, on my birthday. I enjoyed it.
If you have the DVD, watch the special feature on how they built the set of the terminal for the movie. It is quite amazing. All the stores that are there (Starbucks, McDonald's...I can't remember) are actually real stores that opened in the fake (movie set) terminal. The extras in the movie (and there were many) were able to buy food from the various restaurants, as well as clothes, books, etc., from the stores.

Yes, I have. It's a while ago and I saw it only once. But it was a lovely movie I liked it. Good idea to watch it again soon.

Returning long after the talk has moved on, but I have to say:
I love this movie! (The one that made us all come here in the first place, that is. I must admit I haven't seen "the Terminal". )
It was a strange experience watching BBM again after so many months. It didn't have the immediate, punch-to-the-face raw impact that once it had, I know it too well by now.... in a way it was like welcoming back old and dearly beloved friends. But also, it was revisiting and revitalising the emotions, marvelling at the truth of the acting, and at the film itself - how uncluttered it is. How noticable it is that everything unimportant has been removed, so that everything that remains makes an impression, tells the story, and is there for a reason.... All of that seemed more noticable now after some time away, like I'd become too accustomed to the total and therefore too focused on details. Now I just let the big picture sweep over me again. Plus, the sheer beauty and tragedy combined still do take my breath away.
The scenes at Jack's parents surely must be some of the most devastating in movie history.
I'm glad I'd sworn to spend Oscar night watching BBM. At least the Oscars were good for something. :)
My bout of gushing thus out of the way, I'd like to say CONGRATULATIONS!!! to Jess, Leslie, Clarissa and David for reaching their respective and impressive post number milestones. :) 8)
(I'm inching towards the 1,111 mark, and weird as that probably sounds, that will be nice. I had never dreamed I'd post so much here at BM.)

I can understand why that would be a milestone! :D
It looks like you are only 6 posts away from it too! Maybe you can reach it tonight before you log off.
Hint: You can make your post counts go up very quickly by taking some of those personality quizzes over in the Polling Place forum! :D
