In a round-about way, Entertainment Weekly has now added their "vote" to this poll! The November 28th edition of Entertainment Weekly, which is out today, has selected LOTM as #8 of the 50 Sexiest Films Ever!  More specifically, Entertainment Weekly has identified "The Kiss" scene between Hawkeye & Cora as the sexiest moment in the film.   
Of course, neither of these things come as any big surprise to all of the DD-L fans here in Mohicanland (right, Theresa?)!!!

It's great to see that after all these years, LOTM still has the ability to capture audiences and critics with it's charm!
And to add to this poll, LOTM is my #1 favorite movie with Little Women and Sound of Music coming in behind it. |

Nor to Madeleine Stowe fans, eh? I am a bit surprised that Entertainment Weekly still acknowledges this! |

Right you are, Rich! After all, Ms. Stowe was a BIG part of "The Kiss" scene and the rest of the movie, as well!

Like fine wine & all the truly great classic films, it seems that LOTM just gets better with age! Just look at all of the younger fans that continue to join us here in Mohicanland, as yet another generation "discovers" LOTM for the very first time. Of course, once they've discovered LOTM they become "hooked" on it, just like the rest of us!  |

I was very happy to see this, as lists like these usually ignore LOTM, probably because no one takes his/her clothes off. What's more, DDL has two other movies on the list as well: The Age of Innocence is #23, and The Unbearable Lightness of Being is #34. While I haven't studied the list in detail, I don't think any other actor has three movies that made the grade.
I rate LOTM as my #1 favorite movie, and though I can't promise that it always will be, it has stayed atop my list since opening weekend in September of 1992. I've never compiled a precise list of favorites, but here's a rough attempt (in groups of five):
LOTM, LOTR (if it's not cheating to count three as one), Gettysburg, Out of Africa, The Long Riders.
Casablanca, Master and Commander, The Hunt for Red October, Syriana, King Arthur.
Henry V (Branagh, not Olivier), Elizabeth, Shakespeare in Love, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Crimson Tide.
Michael Clayton, Miami Vice, Zulu, Thirteen Days, We Were Soldiers.
Hmmmm, never thought of myself as having a warlike nature, but this list suggests I do! One clarification: I don't think these are the greatest movies ever made (as should be clear by the fact that "King Arthur" is on the list), but they're my favorites, the ones I watch over and over. There's not a movie listed that I haven't seen several times. In contrast, "Das Boot," for example, is a truly great movie, but I don't think my heart could take a second viewing. |

| LOTM must be my favorite, because I can watch it time after time and still am totally taken with it. Let's face it the movie has it all - great story, beautiful scenery, wonderful music and a great looking guy as the leading man! What could be better??? |

| Not sure what the problem is, I responded to this and can't find my entry. So, sorry folks, I'm re-stating what I said in my previous message - LOTM must be my favorite movie because I can watch it endlessly! Let's face it, the movie has it all - great story, beautiful music, wonderful scenery and a great looking leading man!!! What could possibly be better??? |

| I am new to the board, but a fan of LOTM since I first saw it. At my age, the depth of character development, sweep of majestic cinematography and dedication to bringing to life the "life" of our early pioneers all combine to make this my second best film (it's not a movie, it's a film) of all time. I cannot say which is my first, but LOTM could be ny first at any given moment. I will say that it is among the top 3 or 4 films of all time that always lift my spirits, and confirms my faith in all of us. |

How high do you rate LOTM?
