Are you saying the Harold you know is DEAD, like Bud Cort? Sounds like a PERFECT MATCH!

Oh! I'm so glad you're not a guest anymore

Yes - just like Bud Cort and no you're not a prefect match

I think you may enjoy this website http://www.like-i-like.org I think it's developed by a person versus a company and I enjoyed putting in my preferences and which were in my library - maybe you will too : )

Edit: Nov 19 2008 Looks like this link doesn't work anymore. Too bad - I put in a lot of time checking how many stars I gave each movie in the database so that I could see which other movies it then suggested for me to see based on my reviews of the movies i had seen.

The wnner hands down (Talk about a tough work day, how'd you like to look up and see "The Atlantic Wall").

The effect is further enhanced by following that up with "Band of Brothers".

BTW, the Crowd Favorite - Blazing Saddles - just came on CMT 8 pm PDT.

Of course, after Bad Santa, I can't walk straight, nonetheless sit, so....

Yup, another perfectly fine summer day wasted in front of the TV. Well, I did wash about 50 gazillion NAII Test Drive mask parts, and scrubbed the patio chairs, and now I'm sewing snuggle hoses for my lovely Test Drivers... So not a total loss of a day.

LOL,

If you like your movies very old, in French with English subtitles and very interesting special effects for its time, may I recommend "La Belle et la Bete"?
