As I catch the ending battle of the Last Samurai once again, I can't help but contemplate that the battle that still exists today, and which will be our battle as people of the world again one day is whether or not we will win the battle within to return to not battle with anything but honorable weapons, or even succeed in the inner battle to the degree that peace will once again live and reign in the world because the last battle was done with honor.
I doubt greatly that the Kingdom can come on Earth as is it in Heaven until as a people of the world we can collectively come to this place together in such a way that this is communicated even across the lines of battle before they even begin, and as nations we need to act honorable, to bring honor to ourselves, and those whose ideology is diametrically different from own own.

Troy
Great effort at filming an Epic.
"I'll tell you are a secret. The Gods envy us. Right now we are more lovely than we will ever be. We will never be here again."

Lust for Life
Kirk Douglas as Vincent Van Gogh, a troubled Van Gogh at that. I learned more about Van Gogh that I didn't know. It's rated a 4-star movie, for that reason, I'd like to see it again.
The Agony and Ecstasy
Charlton Heston as Michelangelo. I'd like to see this again, and in full. Only a two star, but a telling film. Top 200 for sure.

Four Brothers
Top 150 Movie - Marky Mark does a great job of showing to what extent police will go to, and what tactics many of the bad ones will actually go to.
