Breakfast At Tiffanys,Rio Bravo and The Searchers are all color films,not black & white. The greatest black & white film is the greatest film of all,Citizen Kane. be seeing you


Rio Bravo and The Searchers started out as black and white, but were colorized very shortly after they were released. tongue2

The Night of the Iguana



Poem from Night of the Iguana

How calmly does the olive branch
Observe the sky begin to blanch
Without a cry, without a prayer
With no betrayal of despair

Some time while light obscures the tree
The zenith of its life will be
Gone past forever
And from thence
A second history will commence

A chronicle no longer gold
A bargaining with mist and mold
And finally the broken stem
The plummeting to earth, and then

And intercourse not well designed
For beings of a golden kind
Whose native green must arch above
The earth's obscene corrupting love

And still the ripe fruit and the branch
Observe the sky begin to blanch
Without a cry, without a prayer
With no betrayal of despair

Oh courage! Could you not as well
Select a second place to dwell
Not only in that golden tree
But in the frightened heart of me



Awesome movie. Should be on everyone's must watch list.

It is not my favorite film genre but if you are going in for horror/fantasy/sci-fi then the original King Kong needs to be in there somewhere.
