Does ANYONE really think "dances with wolves" is a better movie than "goodfellas" for example?
I love
both movies. I concede that
Goodfellas is more fun to watch, but
Dances With Wolves (especially the 3 hour 56 minute version on the Special Edition DVD) helps me understand how disrespectful my ancestors (here in the United States) treated Native Americans on
their land; it helps me understand how we humans are connected to nature (the land, the air, the water, wildlife, to other humans); it's an adventure with some pretty good scenery and an interesting story. So, yeah, for
me . . . . .
Dances With Wolves is a better movie than
Goodfellas, but I live up in the mountains with the goal of connecting with mother nature . . . . thus, I'm a little biased.
One thing both movies have in common: quite a few people get killed

I enjoyed
From The Sky Down, but I would
not have imagined it being nominated for any awards.
