    Some of my favs are:
    The Ten Commandments.
    The Godfather.

    Anything about the Titanic I suck up like a sponge.

  • Books
    I am not much of a book reader but love travel mags and suscribe to several. I have been reading "Samurai" by Saburu Sakai who was the leading Japanese air ace in WW II. Very interesting.
