(287 posts)24. I think you may have misconstrued my feelings for Rob Roy
You listed, what, 50 movies? More?
And from that list of 50, I picked out four I enjoy the most, one of which was Rob Roy.
I love Rob Roy. It just may be the most underappreciated movie ever made. As has already been mentioned, Neeson was great and Lange was great, and their chemistry was incendiary. Plus there's Roth in what I consider to be the best bad guy performance in the history of film.
I didn't intend to minimize my love and appreciation for the movie. I was only saying that of the four stand-outs I listed, it came in fourth. Nothing to be ashamed of coming in fourth after movies like The Big Lebowski, Doctor Zhivago and The Princess Bride. That's quite a group to be a part of!

The Big Lebowski seems to appeal to all tastes - your list is certainly VERY different from mine,

Oh wow - I forgot Coppola's "Dracula"! That's another one I have in my own collection.

Yes, Mohicans is violent and not very authentic in its native people's portrayal

One that I had to have was Bette Davis's Beyond the Forest, only it's not on DVD.
