 :) Chris - that is such a difficult choice to make - both are excellent, absolutely wonderful movies and everything and everybody
 connected with them is so deserving of awards - if I was an Academy member, I would have been so torn on which was the better -
but that said, I am leaning towards Ghandi only because it was about a real person who really made a difference, not only in his own country but in the rest of the world as well.......... ;)

Ditto, Judy.  Tough choice indeed.  As much as I love ET, I will go with Ghandi as well.  He demonstrated how one person’s perseverance can change the history.  I don’t have a lot of respect for political figures, but Ghandi is on top of the short list of politicians (if we can even call him a politician) that I respects immensely.  I know I am biased here.  :)

Yes, very romantic.  Demi Moore was at her prime time during that time.  You didn't see it?  You must be a child at that time. :)

I love that movie. You never saw "Ghost" Chris?

You better have your kleenex ready though. It is a real tear jerker.

I thought so anyway. It's a beautiful movie.

I LOVE Ghost! It was a favorite of mine in middle school... I was also young when it came out.  Also, great use of the song Unchained Melodies!  ;D
‘cause the truth is, I already give him everythin’ I got to give, more than I ever even knew I had; ‘n it all for him, all of it, him who is my brother, my father, my child, my friend, my lover, my heart, my soul; my Ennis.
