Incidentally to those who haven't watched Prisoner of Azkaban it's by far the best of the Harry Potter films :)
Still kinda like arguing about the most virtuous mass murderer,

"The Great Train Robberey" with Sean Connery.

Good film...but the "clue" that gives him away at the end is quite a non sequitur.

"The Honey Pot"

Pretty good.

Wrong thread?  :huh:

My favorite is Morricone, Cinema Paradiso and The Mission, and countless spaghetti westerns.
His work on Battle of Algiers is simply superb.  I love a Glass film score.

I preferred Goblet of Fire.

Prisoner of Azkaban would've been wonderful if the first two films had never been made.

This will not turn into a fucking Harry Potter Hijack.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Those are the best two books, too.
Though Prisoner of Azkaban loses a bit of suspense after you've read it once.
