Here Comes Mr. Jordan—not the usual story—is complicated in storyline. It' s a movie that requires careful watching and consistent mental involvement. The title
of the film does not describe the film well.

Lawrence of Arabia—a
British classic released in the United States—made it to Ben Meyers’ Favorite Films list. The script centers
around the brilliant military maneuvers of T.E. Lawrence (acted by Peter O’Toole)
during WWI on the Arabian Peninsula. Excellent portrayal of two different
cultures colliding, learning to cooperate and respect each others’ abilities,
and finally to magnificently succeed in overcoming a common enemy while earning
freedom for an entire, new nation in the process. Based on the notes of T.E.
Lawrence, the film becomes an absorbing watch for its entire 227 minutes.

Casablanca—WOW! classic movie—exemplifies the importance of high quality writers in building good movies. The portrayal
and presentation run from great to good. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman show extremely well in close facial shots. The film may
get a little slow at times but that does not hinder the overall feel
of the film and the 'take-home' satiation that money and time are well invested in viewing this movie. This film is in black and white but that adds to the quality of
the film. The camera work is exceptional as it optimizes the sense of suspense and emotion with excellent timing.
