"The man who would be king" (1975) with Sean Connery and Michael Caine. A real treat. A movie for adventurers, dreamers, and thinkers. John Huston directed. I believe Kipling wrote the book. Nothing compares to this movie. A story about two ex-military in colonial India going off to the undiscovered" territories. Trust me. Rent it, watch it, you'll love it!!

The Matrix did NOT lift my spirit. It made me paranoid as hell . . . . 
Last summer my sister and I worked at the same place in Springfield, IL, where her boyfriend also lives. I drove so I dropped her off at his house many evenings and then he brought her home. Well, one day I pulled in at his house just as a white Toyota LandCruiser went by from the opposite direction. In it were a young, dark-haired man with a mustache and a young blonde lady with her hair pulled back.
I looked over at the boyfriend's house for a moment, an instant, as my sister looked for her sunglasses and when I looked back over at her, the SAME white Toyota LandCruiser with what looked like exactly the same two people came by from the same direction at the same speed. No way it was the same one--they couldn't have gone around the block in the time it took to glance to my left. I guess it could be a different couple who just looked like them and have the same vehicle, but it creeped the hell out of me.
Then there was a day last fall when my fiancee and I noticed at least 5 or six things that happened that way. In fact, her psychology professor gave a lecture she had given 2 weeks before, word for word! I thought I was nuts until I got up the courage to tell her I was losing my mind and found out she'd noticed the same thing. And she checked with a friend in her class, who also remembered the previous lecture. We still haven't met anyone who can explain that day.

The Matrix
Mule,
This is why. There were a lot of messages about faith and choosing what you know is right even though it might not be "safe". I thought it was a very spiritual movie.
When you watch it again pay particular attention to these scenes (among others) for messages.
1. Sipher's phone conversation with Trinity during his betrayal.
2. Sipher's conversation with Agent Smith. (just before the harp)
3. Trinity's conversation with Neo in the car before debugging him.
Other uplifting movies were
Red Dawn
Braveheart

Road warrior, uplifting by the fact that one day all this money spent on ammo might come in handy 
Saturday Night Fever.
Hate the cast, hate the music, hate the plot, hate the poofy hair, hate the clothing, hate the plot. So why watch it? It makes me glad disco died.
The Natural is a pretty good one too, but unlike SNF, I enjoy everthing in it but Glenn Close. I love the scene where the old fart dramitizes "goodbye Mr. Spaulding" with the hand motion.
Streets of Fire-*sigh* Diane Lane *sigh*-Guns, good music, really cool butterfly knife scene- *sigh* and Diane Lane in the rain.

When I watch it again? I'm not sure If I watched it the first time. Maybe that's what "they" wanted me to think. I don't know if I spent my $6 or even if I have $6. It would be cool to be able to dodge bullets like that though. To each his own.
