2. Wow! I actually have The Lathe of Heaven, too!

I simply forgot! I devoured everything Ursula LeGuinn wrote back in my old sci fi reading days - and I saw the movie on PBS when they first broadcast it. I bought the dvd years ago because I wanted to turn my youngest kid onto it.

I remember watching "The Ascent of Man" when it was broadcast, too. Great stuff!

Koyaanisqatsi - oh, yes. Saw it in the theater when it was first released - definitely a wow. It would be a nice addition to my collection - I just hadn't thought about buying it until you brought it up.

Bergman - I've always wanted to add a few of his movies to my shelf, but those Criterian Collection editions are so darn expensive. If I could only buy one, it would probably be Virgin Spring.

Hitchcock I can certainly appreciate - not inclined to own any, but I certainly wouldn't turn down an invitation to a movie night with someone who does.

50s Sci Fi - great fun. I'll bring the popcorn.

Hopscotch - never saw it. I've got Women in Love for my Glenda Jackson fix. Honestly, if you haven't seen it, you're missing out on a transcendent experience.

Thank you for your list! I may have to spend a little more money on Amazon soon.

Just a few. longship Mar 2014 #1
