That's interesting. Do you have a particular genre of films that you prefer, or a certain style of writing that you like?
All genres, but I think I love American Noir, the American Western, and foreign films most. 
I was looking at a list of foeign films and saw the title Metropolis. It was rated number 7. I saw this years ago. It's a black and white silent film. Have you seen it?
Oh, yeah! Fritz Lang directed, one of his best films. He made movies in America after he left Germany during the '30s.
Yes. One of the first SciFi blockbusters! There was a scene where the people were marching around the machine, goose-stepping, just like the Nazis.
Very prescient movie. It's still considered one of the 10 greatest SF films. Kubrick's 2001 usually takes the #1 spot, but Metropolis isn't far behind.
I was wondering about your book collection. Do you have any rare books? 
Heh, no, not any more. I don't think I ever had any really rare books, but. I lost a library of 10,000 volumes during the floods of Katrina, and I had a bunch of privately autographed 1st Editions. Also, many books of regional poetry published by small presses, completely irreplaceable.
That must have been traumatic! I can't begin to imagine the loss you felt. Identifying and collecting first editions must have taken a lot of time. I'm so sorry!
Thanks! After the storm, I've replace about 1000 of my favorite books by shopping used booksellers, but there are those I simply can't replace. I also lost a film library too. Some of those films never made the cut to DVD or Blu-ray, like Alan Sharp's Little Treasure ('86, I think), which got horrible reviews then, but is due for a revival. I had it on LaserDisc (lost 500 of them).
