Romero (w/Raul Julia)
The Apostle (w/Robert Duvall)

hey, Harrison Ford also made a detective thriller about the Amish, called Witness...

Excellent additions. And the Robert Duvall thing reminds me of

Tender Mercies

which I'd add to the list.

Lest there be any confusion, I'd leave Plan 9 off the list.
I remember feeling particularly moved after seeing Michael (with John Travolta,) but my father-in-law had just died, and my reaction was related to that.

I enjoyed Michael, but for a "moving" motion picture with Travolta, I preferred Phenomenon.

Lilies of the Field (Sidney Poitier)

Monte Walsh (a little-known film about the end of the "west" which may have been one of the best westerns ever made and one that will tear your heart out--with Lee Marvin)

The Last Waltz.


The Band, Bob, Joni, Van and a host -no pun intended - of others.

Woodstock.

Crosby, Stills and Nash. Richie Havens, Santana and Hendrix.

My kinda truth :wink:

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

This is also up there on my all time favorite list and I recently saw an interview with Frank Darabont, the writer (adaptor if you will) and director. I was struck by how smart he was and what a great speaker he was. He is someone I would definitely love to have a long dinner/conversation with.

Even if he did work with Tom Cruise on Mission Impossible III. :D

The good news is that he says he done working as a gun for hire and from now on he will only write movies he'll be directing. Hopefully after he finishes polishing Indian Jones IV.

Given that he's made three movies and all three are great, I really want him to direct more.

Ah, now you're in my territory. :)

I think Cran needs to see Babette's Feast. That is spiritually uplifting if anything is.

Of course, once you've established the principle, he can safely widen his scope to take in Les Enfants du Paradis and Los Olvidados.
