There is a lot of history in northern New England involving the French and Indian War, so the movie really struck a chord with me. That's why it's very high on my personal list of favorites.<br /><br />Can't argue with "Shane" being high on anyone's list. It's a classic.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-36806981812628205482013-01-21T07:24:55.513-08:002013-01-21T07:24:55.513-08:00Sarge, "Last of the Mohicans" is a great...Sarge, "Last of the Mohicans" is a great movie and Studi is magnificent in it. And so is Day-Lewis. <br /><br />That said, I don't know if I would rank it as my top movie of all time though. "Shane" has held that spot for a long time now.

The scenery is breath-taking (filmed in the western part of North Carolina I believe), I thought the acting fit the story to a T and the music was, again to me, perfect for the film.<br /><br />If you see it jib, let me know what you thought.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-40482868079918279632013-01-19T10:16:17.874-08:002013-01-19T10:16:17.874-08:00Sounds like you had a nice evening.

I loved "When the Grey Hair is dead, Magua will eat his heart. Before he dies, Magua will put his children under the knife, so the Grey Hair will know his seed is wiped out forever."<br />Excellent movie, I'm gonna watch it this weekend!Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14860342410219012525noreply@blogger.com
