Recommendations?


I thought Black Robe was a great little timepiece into a strange, new world. Any Black Robe fans have any other recommendations of films similiar to this one? I don't really care if they take place in the New World or not - just any beautifully shot, neat pieces that give us a glimpse into worlds we're not familiar with.

Thanks,

Indeed, The Mission is another good one like Black Robe. We just watched both of these films with my I.B. History course.

"A Victoria's Secret fashion show featured the heavenly star bra, which cost $2.5 million, with matching diamond-encrusted thong panties for $750,000. Thanks, Victoria's Secret, but the only way I'm putting $750,000 worth of diamonds in my ass is if the Nazis are coming."

See Anthony Quinn and a pre-Lawrence, Peter Otoole in "The Savage Innocents".

When you come to a strange land you should bring your wives and not your laws.

I'm not saying we won't get our hair mussed!

just stay away from the New World. It leads to nothing but disappointment when compared to Bloackrobe.

reply

THE NEW WORLD is like Black Robe's alter ego. Depending on your Point of view and prefrences as a person a 'disappointment'.
