Heid, seen them and love BOTH of them, John Travolta as a Angel.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm the part where the feather falls to the ground after he "helps" the little dog had me in tears!!  and Truely Madly Deeply is a deeply moving film, but very funny at the same time. Both should be in there but i just didn't have the room.  Cry

6. Zulu

A friend of mine was mad about that film, even played truant on exam day to watch at the local cinema. He read all about the battle and eventually joined the army. I rang him one Christmas from Rorke's Drift saying "Guess where I am?"
