second one is a story on two climbers trying to climb a peak in peru and one of the climbers cuts the rope of the other to save himself....But the second climber survives the fall and crawls his way back to the base.....

The first one is called "Viven" in Spanish and most likely "Alive" in English. It's based on a real story of some Uruguayan rugby team.

One of the guys from that plane became a successfull businessman and usually gives lectures on his experiences.

My old man had a tape. I wouldn't have know about it otherwise. In general, I am a discriminating film Nazi. BTW, I loved John, Sam and Uma in Pulp fiction. I must have watched it a million times.

The dog reference reminds me of "Wag the dog" I watched it a long time ago. I thought it was quite funny.

Good call on "Motorcycle Diaries" saw it yesterday and I loved it. Also, I believe the same director of "Monsoon Wedding" has "The Namesake" coming out in theatres in March in the US. The book was excellent and Kal Penn (Kumar from "Harold & kumar go to whitecastle") is playing the main character.

Did somebody mention "pursuit of Happyness".
I've watched that movie so many times; perfect antidote for the times when i feel depressed or unworthy.

"25th Hour" is an AMAZING MOVIE!!!

Also, although it has been said a few times, if you haven't seen "Pulp Fiction" run to the store and buy it.

Watched Departed Y'day....

It's a DIRECT REMAKE ( Scene to Scen) of the Movie "INFERNAL AFFAIRS"
