wait. you no like, xenok? Bosch is an Obejectivist

Man you scare me :)

Rudy,

Great show, if you have not seen it do so. One of my favorites and definitely based on the true story of the triumph of the individual.

Oh no, the things some people come up with
<shakes head>

Hilights of good ones

Batman Returns (1st of the new ones)
Very true to the comics and I would argue Objectivist in nature

Dark NIght: but they screwed the character of batman

The first Toby McGwirer (spelling bad I think) spiderman.

All of the captain America Movies. Captain America is great and well done in these.

Both Avengers Movies. Scarlet Witch is my favorite Avenger and they did an excellent job bringing her into the moves in the second one.

Guardians of the Galaxy is extremely entertaining

First Iron Man is excellent, but the rest are just not worth the time.

The X-Men Movies (this was my favorite comic book series) have not been nearly good enough for me, though the very first one was a good movie but not what the X-Men could or should be. the rest I keep watching hopeful that Fox will do it right, but they never have. If they ever do it right it would be objectivist philosophy verses various groups that practice some form of collectivist philosophy. About the closest thing to it in comic book land.

I would bet a few I am not thinking of right now too.

there have been many excellent reviews on this. both from I and savvystreet.

Edna was great.
"NO Cape"... Sounds better with the voice and the accent. :)

Actually, I believe she was based on Iris Apfel.

V - The Original Miniseries

I really enjoyed that movie, as well. ah, North By Northwest. db and I enjoyed very much The Rope. Rand enjoyed the Twilight Zone

How about golden to silver age Superman? As a matter of fact, most of the superheroes of those eras were good, solid idols. No anti-heroes, no troubled teens, just good old Dick Tracy VS the bad guys.

A film with Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford called I believe, "Working Girl" (not sure of title). A woman with imagination and talent gets it over one who is a second-hander relying more on sex than talent.
A real, real oldie with Alec Guinness "The Man In The White Suit." In which a chemistry genius is exploited when he invents a fabric that can be cut and tailored but is virtually indestructible.
One that many of you might argue with me about, is the Cary Grant Character in "North By Northwest." In my opinion, Hitchcock's greatest film. And, how about Anna, in "Anna and the King of Siam?"

My bad, been a while since I've seen it last - but not placing the reference. Gov't official?

Ahh. You mean those online services that let you steal the movies you want to watch but do not want to pay for?

Yes.

Yes. At the very end. When they were chasing "Thex" up the air chimney, suddenly the spending on his apprehension slammed into the budget limit and the word came down: "Don't spend any more money trying to arrest this man." So the two robots shouted up at him, "We have to go back. This is your last chance to return." Thex ignored them, kept climbing, and opened the door to the outside.

Jan, what is your favorite scifi movie? Gattaca is a good one. Could be objectivist- it's about the triumph of the human spirit and will.

Maybeso I should watch these films.

Jan

There is a bit of sci fi. Flint is the true Objectivist Individualist character. Greatly played by James Coburn.

A great movie with an individualistic theme is the "Western" They Came to Cordura, with both Gary Cooper and Rita Hayworth honoring their values.

I have heard of these movies for many years, but I have not seen them. I generally only watch Scifi/Fantasy movies. I have probably missed some movies I would really like by doing this.

Jan

Rob Roy

Jack Webb, of course.He believed in the law being obeyed. Hanks is a liberal.
Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable also played characters who did not bend to the world, but lived by personal ethics and hard work. I loved Liz Taylor's scene in Giant when she had a fit over the men not letting the womenfolk talk politics

Jan, have you seen Our Man Flint and the sequel In Like Flint?

Don't forget Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and maybe The Last Hurrah with Spencer Tracy. I am having trouble thinking of movies with female leads which are objectivist in nature. I see traces of strong independent thinking women in Liz Taylor characters, like parts of the Sandpiper or Butterfiled 8, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but not all out whole movies.
