I always got a little teary-eyed when he mentioned it was his daughter's birthday. One of the best gifts he could give her.

Well I'm glad that when the Coens finally won it was when they could win director together after the DGA finally took away that stupid rule that only one could be billed as director.

Fargo and Shine are two of my favorite movies... and I like very much Milos Forman and Mike Leigh... but from the bottom of my heart I know that Anthony Minghella deserved that oscar so much.... great film

for me, one of the greatest films in movie-history. only a few other masterpieces can stay in this line like out of africa, the unbearable ligthness of being, a passage to india, doctor shivago, children of the olymp. the english patient has it all...rip anthony minghella. will we ever see films like this in the future?
