Charlaine Harris was asked what some of her favorite films were ....

What are some of your favorite films, and what makes them unforgettable to you?

· Lawrence of Arabia -- Peter O'Toole is just great in this beautiful film about an incredibly complex man.

· The Last of the Mohicans -- The music, the scenery, a good script, and Daniel Day-Lewis. You can't go wrong with this much-changed version of the James Fenimore Cooper book.

· The Pink Panther -- I always laugh, no matter how many times I've seen it. All the Peter Sellers Panther movies are funny, and I love to laugh.

· Blazing Saddles -- This is just a funny movie, and it set the pattern for many to follow. "The Piano" A feminist fable with an awful lesson.

· Saving Private Ryan -- A heartstopping depiction of war and the test it lays on men

· The Birds -- Way to be scared!



Did you know it was based on a short story by Daphne Du Maurier ?

Interesting 5 minute featurette with Hitchcock talking about his new upcoming movie " The Birds "
