I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):

  • Young Poisoner’s Handbook

  • Full Metal Jacket

  • Life of Brian

  • Holy Grail

  • Sunset Boulevard

  • Curse of the Golden Flower

  • The Nightingale

  • Downfall

  • Amadeus

  • Once Were Warriors

  • Dusk to Dawn

    If you have a cable company that carries Turner Classic Movies, their schedule shows they’ll be airing these Kipling inspired items on Wednesday night/Thursday morning (times in EDT):

    • 3:15 AM The Man Who Would Be King (1975)
    • 5:45 AM Gunga Din (1939) Despite my apprecication of Cary Grant as an actor, I’m less fond of Gunga Din compared to The Man Who Would Be King, but Gunga Din is worth seeing once for reference. Kim and various Jungle Book movies are better Kipling choices IMO, but since Gunga Din is a poem instead of a whole story, I can’t blame Kipling for the movie plot.

    Though I’ve belted you and flayed you,
    By the livin’ Gawd that made you,
    You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
