1. What about Brokeback Mountain?
It's fantastic.

2. I haven't seen it, but maybe I should add it. Thanks for the heads up.

3. I loved King Kong and Brokeback Mountain.
I couldn't choose between them. I haven't seen the other two, but I very much want to.

4. Kong is good but Walk the Line is better
It helps if you like Johnny Cash music.

6. I love Johnny Cash, but honestly, Geisha beats that movie by a mile.
Seriously.

5. Please see Memoirs of a Geisha. It is wonderful!
I read the book years ago, and this is only the second movie I can say was better than the book (which was very good). The other movie which I thought surpassed its book was Sophie's Choice.

7. Kong is a good entertainment, but Brokeback is the best film I've seen in

years.

I don't see where the love story in Kong (I'm assuming you're talking about between Kong and the woman) compares in any way with Brokeback Mountain. (The other, "human" love story in King Kong is okay but nothing special.) The acting in the latter film is miles ahead, also, even though the acting in Kong isn't bad.

8. I haven't seen Brokeback, but I'm expecting to like it a lot.
I have seen the other three, and Geisha takes Kong and Line to the cleaners, imo. I don't understand why this film is not getting more positive reviews. It is a stunningly beautiful and mesmerizing piece of art.

10. I haven't seen Geisha.. but if Heath Ledger doesn't win the Best Actor
Oscar for this it will be a crime... (Or Jake Gyllenhaal for that matter...)
