Who knew?
Notes from a standing start:
> In Not I, Billie Whitelaw, one of Samuel Beckett's favorite interpreters, sanctioned her film protrayal of a spot-lit mouth speaking a monolog non-stop. The title is a homonymic pun ... a mouth is not an eye.
> Racing driver Senna always coupled his religion with his wins. Then he died after hitting a brick wall.
> Tillie and Gus sees W.C. Fields running a ferryboat. It's very funny.
> When We Were Kings features a famous boxing match held in the jungles of Zaire.
> The 9/11 doco aims to uncover the hidden truth about the tragedy.

Epic journeys
NB:
"Stalker" was made 7 years before the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Peter Weir directed "The Way Back" the true story of Siberian gulag escapees who attempted to walk to freedom in India.
"Deep Water" is a documentary about Donald Crowhurst, who took part in the first non-stop solo circumnavigation of the globe by boat, but... lied about his progress, went mad and drowned himself.
"Rabbit Proof Fence" is the true story of three mixed race Aboriginal girls taken from their mothers who escape and attempt to walk home.
Christian Bale is playing Moses in "Exodus" (p.s. the trailer is hilarious... I hope it's as bad as it looks) |

Doesn't affect the review but by the time I saw it at a film festival over three years ago it had been demonstrated to be highly unlikely. There was a lot of attention on it because the supposedly autobiographical book was written by (actually ghost-written for) a Pole and some others had made a documentary (re)creating the journey. |

Viewted. Enjoyed all the entries this round... even the one with five words (which, remarkably, got by the MERPS and received six votes.) |

Well I'll be! I didn't notice it either when I voted. Urban dictionary contains 'howta'--I wager that would pass on resubmission. |
