Magna... A lot of good recommendations that I have watched... TY... Three very good Sci Fi's ... One a movie that other two TV Episode Series Tomorrow War Fringe The Boys TV Episode Series... With A Military Twist... The Terminal List
All great movies I've seen. Gattaca has a lot of great character actors in it like Gore Vidal, Alan Arkin & Loren Dean. Its probably the best adaptation of Huxley's Brave New World I've seen. Schindler's List & The Deer Hunter are great movies with endless great actors in it but you can't watch it too many times -- its too depressing. John Cazale filmed The Deer Hunter while he was dying of Cancer. Him & Meryl Streep were supposed to get married but it never happened. He was a very good actor who was also great in Dog Day Afternoon and of course Godfather I & II. I read that the little girl with a red dress who gets killed in the Krakow Ghetto was a turning point for Schindler in his decision to help the Jews survive. That red dress was the only color through most of the movie besides the ending.
