Brokeback is more a character study of 2 men and their relationship. It doesn't move up or down just laterally and I can see where people would find it boring.

Yes, I'm that far behind!! I have to confess, I've never seen ANY of these, but always wanted to see Brokeback Mountain. It's sad how homosexuals are still treated in this day and age. I'm glad you shone a spotlight on this seemingly never changing problem. BTW, we have a new Transportation Secretary who is a confirmed gay.

That would never happen today. I haven't seen it since, so I can't really say how I feel about it. I can say how I feel about <i>Brokeback Mountain.</i> I'm not a fan, found it boring.

Many years ago for the Student Prince and mainly because my Father loved Mario Lanza.

Yeah, I couldn’t believe Brokeback is 16 years old and I still feel so sad about Heath Ledger. Olivia is truly very pretty and I would like to see that interview.

I heard Purdom had some ego which makes me ask...why? He never made it huge and didn’t have the talent of Lanza. I love the song “Drink, drink”. I think the version I picked of R&J is the best and I knew Brokeback would be popular but I felt like I had to talk about it. I thought of the Macdonald/Eddy musicals since so many were tragic. I love your first 2 choices! The poor waif, Lillian Gish couldn’t even smile without making her smile with her fingers. Poor opium addled Barthlemess adores her and the cue cards used just shows how far we have come (Chinky is just not the way talk to The Chinese immigrants) but I do love this film. Donald Cook was truly terrifying as her abusive dad. I love Death Takes A Holiday and fell for Frédéric March when I first saw this film. This is much better to the remake with Brad Pitt. Dirty Dancing is just one movie I can’t get into. I like Patrick Swayze and Jerry Orbach but I wanted Patrick to throw Jennifer Grey into that lake. And just walk far, far away from her. Even her name is irritating...who the hell wants to be called baby.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-44718945738976606292021-02-18T19:28:13.145-05:002021-02-18T19:28:13.145-05:00I don’t know this film..I have to look it up.I don’t know this film..I have to look it up.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-76780392192326059232021-02-18T19:27:29.821-05:002021-02-18T19:27:29.821-05:00Yes, this version of R & J is, I think, the be...Yes, this version of R & J is, I think, the best but West Side Story is a good retelling.
