: Jeez, Rich! Of your list I have seen them ALL, and rank maybe 95% of them up there with my favorites! SCAAAAARRRRRYYYYY!!
: Way scary. Makes ya wonder if there was a Federici in the woodpile back in old Bethlehem circa 1947......
: Nah. Our body shapes don't match!

: : "Good for people who liked this one" ... I can only assume that there is a common thread in all of us who have so thoroughly enjoyed "The Last of the Mohicans." Exactly what that is, I'm not quite sure, I can only list some of my very favorites. Perhaps you'll find a few to your liking. Before I list them, let me say that clearly LOTM is far and away the best colonial-era film around. The old standbys, like "Northwest Passage" can be entertaining, but I just can't rank them among my favorites.
