13 Movies I absolutely loved watching There are a lot of movies which are my favs, these just top the just.These are completely my interest and i know u might or might not agree with me. 1.Forrest Gump - I think Tom Hanks was simply superb in this movie.It didn't seem like he was acting, it was like he was living Forrest Gump. 2.God father - I had read the novel before i watched the movie and Francis Ford Copola has done complete justice to the novel in the movie. 3.The English Patient - I dont have words to describe this movie. 4.BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD - One of the best movies i have ever seen in my life. 5.Da Vinci Code - This was the best novel i have ever read and loved watching the movie. 6.Braveheart - I think noone could have played Willaim Wallace better than Mel Gibson. 7.Cold Mountain - I think this is surely one of the best of Renee Zellweger whom i liked more than Nicole Kidman in this movie. 8.The Wedding Planner - This is on the top list of my favourite romantic comedies movies. 9.Some Like It Hot - Hilarious.I never enjoyed any other black and white movie like i enjoyed this. 10.U-Turn - Not necessarily my favourite, but i liked the movie except for the climax.i like the heroes to be alive in the climax...lol. 11.God father 2 - I like this though not as much as the first part. 12.Planes,traines and automobiles - John Candy was sooooo sweeeeet in this movie.I actually sheded a few tears in the end of this movie.It was really funny and touching at the same time. 13.Babies day out - Must be a children's movie, but i love it. .

Thirteen Things about Sidney Sheldon OMG!I never realized today is thursday.I cant accept the pace at which each day passes.Thanks brenda nd for reminding me that its time for TT.Since i hadn't thought of anything and since i cant think of anything soon,i thught i'l write about Sydney Sheldon.The first novel which i finished in a day in my life was "Windmills Of God" when i was 16.That still remains my favourite thriller.Though I like Shelden's works, he is not my favourite auther.We kind of get used to his novels after 3-4 of them.But i feel noone can create susoense as he does. 1)Sheldon was born Sidney Schechtel in Chicago, Illinois, to parents of Russian Jewish ancestry 2)At 10, he made his first sale, $10 for a poem. 3The Naked Face is his first novel. 4)Sheldon contemplated suicide as a teenager, was forced out of college by the Depression. 5)It was estimated that as many as 300 million copies of his 18 novels are in print, in a total of 51 languages 6)He was in the Army Air Forces service in World War II. 7)Several of his novels became television miniseries, often with the Sheldon severing as producer. 8))Once, fire threatened his California home. Told to snatch his most prized possessions and prepare to flee, he spurned everything but pens and paper. 9)His novels are more appreciated for their reader appeal and hard work than than their literary merit. 10)Mr. Sheldon turned to fiction only in his 50s, after having an idea for a thriller he felt was too psychologically nuanced for film, TV or the stage. 11) He was married for more than 30 years to Jorja Curtright Sheldon, a stage and film actress. After her death in 1985 he married Alexandra Sheldon, a former child actress ana their daughter Mary Sheldon Dastin is an author too. 12)He said in interviews "I like to write about women, who are talented and capable, but most important, retain their femininity. Women have tremendous power, their femininity, because men can't do without it.""I like to write about women, who are talented and capable, but most important, retain their femininity. Women have tremendous power, their femininity, because men can't do without it." "If I write about a place, I have been there. If I write about a meal in Indonesia, I have eaten there in that restaurant. I don't think you can fool the reader." 13)After a career that had earned him a Tony, an Oscar and an Emmy,Sheldon died January 30, 2007 of complications from pneumonia at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California
