An Argentinian film from the 80's that it's based on; far, far superior to K-Pax..

17. PTS: Post traumatic stress??

I'm guessing that's what it is since PTSD is post traumatic stress disorder...:shrug:

4. The last time someone told me the original foreign film was better than

the American remake, I spent one of the worst evenings of my life watching Wings of Desire. I think I'll pass on both this time.

18. God damn right that's what I'm saying

I tend to like movies that actually have a plot, rather than a couple of people picking up a book of pretentious poetry and reading it as though they are saying something while pretending there's a movie happening around them. Would have rathered watch wrestling or something. Well, maybe not wrestling. Happy Days, or Rachel Ray, or This Old House.

21. I'm so glad to see you tonight, my dear enigmatic!

I'm so sorry about your accident; I'm also glad that your car absorbed most of the damage, and not you or your wife...Of course, it's bad enough about the car!

It is replaceable; you and your wife are NOT... :grouphug: :pals:

Edited on Mon Aug-01-05 03:11 AM by KT2000

But I didn't think it was very religious or good timey, probably more the opposite.
I would watch it again.

Oops! Just realized this was a copy cat thread.
