[The Wheel's Still In Spin]

Let me add Die Hard to the list because it is the best adction/adventure movie.

And I finally watched Once Upon a Time in America after requesting it from the library a long time ago. Sergio Leone made a masterful movie. My mind kept going over the events and the way the epic story was told. It is officially added to the list.
