Hi,
	Some comments (more like reviews).  I'm getting some blank tapes.

This is not the Dream.  This is what I do on weekends to have some fun.

The Dream involves 4 sets of identical twins, 2 gallons of Cool
Whip, 5 quarts of chocolate syrup, 2-1/4 pounds of strawberries,
satin sheets, a magnum of champagne, a trapeze, and a python.

Good luck Mr. Gorsky

	That's the "The Hidden Fortress", not fortress.  Not the most
significant of Korosawa's efforts, but lots of fun, and it has the flat out
BEST fight scene (with polearm) that I have ever seen.
	A different plot from "Star Wars", but at least two shots are lifted
right out of this movie.

	I believe that that is Rashomon.  One of his finest works.  Really
thoughtful and deep piece. A kind of a mystery.  My dat's favorite movie

	Set in modern Japan.  About the forces of conformity in modern Japan
and a dying bureaucrat.  A very sad film.

	Arguably the finest film ever made, came in 2nd, after "Citizen Kane",
on all time great movies a few years back.  MUCH better (and more coherent)
than the "Magnificent Seven".
	My favorite movie.
