Which version?

[quote=“John Welles, post:62, topic:1169”]Which version?[/quote]i love all three versions of “Of Mice and Men” it is a great, sad, tragic tale. i like the Gary Sinise/ John Malkovich version, the Robert Blake/ Randy Quaid t.v movie version and the first and best 1939 version with Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney jnr in his best role ever.

That is one helluva clostrephobic movie. I have to watch it with the windows open to get some fresh air gasp.

66

I used to love Das Boot when I was like 5 because I was obsessed with submarines. Course I didn’t know it was dubbed.

Then I started liking big boats and watched Titanic every day home from school.

67

Are you sure you wanted to admit it here where everyone can read it? :wink:

68

This was when I was 5.

If it makes it better, I did the same with Saving Private Ryan. But that is long gone. Thank god.

69

Don’t worry, i was just kidding :wink:
