I've always had a soft spot for Cocoon, a sort of ET for pensioners, and loved James Horners scores for this, Willow and Apollo 13. Cinderella Man doesn't interest me much I'll catch it on cable.

Updated Master list...............................

For those who enjoy Ron Howard's body of work you might want to see the broadcast of The Museum of the Moving Image wonderful tribute to Ron Howard. I saw a taping of it recently and thought it to be one of the better "tributes" I've seen in a very long time.

Anyway, here is my list:

(0-5 STARS)

The Missing (2003) I still have not got around to watching this.
The Paper (1994) Never seen it.
Grand Theft Auto (1977) Saw it so long ago I barely have any memory of it, which probably means I didn't like it.
