    I have never watched Gattica. It has been recommended to me several times, but it seems like it is quite a downer.

    Captain America: Winter Soldier is the film with a message closest to my heart. One of Steve Roger's secret super powers is to turn grey into black and white.

    I also remember reading in her nonfiction that Ayn Rand liked the first two James Bond movies, and The Avengers TV series.

    Yes, good movies with Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable:
    Thunder Bay. Jimmy Stewart plays an oil driller out to prove that offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico would work.
    Boom Town. Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy play oil wildcatters searching for oil in Texas.

    Bosch Fawstin is a reformed Islamist. He won the cartoon contest Pamela Geller set up. He is an Objectivist

    You know the writer and his accomplishments? The connection between The Prize and NBNW? And the fact that Bernard Herrmann was the one who not just composed the music for NBNW but introduced the writer and the director?

    One movie I like from the standpoint of a businessman being driven by a vision to build is "The Carpetbaggers".

    I recently saw the Twilight Zone episode "The Eye of the Beholder", which Rand mentioned in her nonfiction work.

    You can find them on YouTube. It took me a while to figure out that the Flint movies were really parodies of the spy genre.

    I did not see Pigman. I did see Babe and Babe: Pig in the City. I did not see Babe III Bacon in the Pan. Is Pigman a feature film?

    Randy Newman's masterpiece. Oscar nominated. Darren McGavin (the old man in Christmas Story) had his name removed from the credits of The Natural.

    Thank you, O.A., for that link. That film is from an era when writing still had the power of ideas, not just special effects and "action".

    Pigman, need I say more. lol
    That is as bad, perhaps worse than Antman. Yes they choose this Avenger to do a solo movie on.

    Of the current batch, I think that Captain America: Winter Soldier is my favorite.
