Finished up my annual watching of the LOTR series last night....extended version of course.
'Since Moses was alone, by having been stripped as it were of the people's fear, he boldly approached the very darkness itself and entered the invisible things where he was no longer seen by those watching. After he entered the inner sanctuary of the divine mystical doctrine, there, while not being seen, he was in company with the Invisible. He teaches, I think, by the things he did that the one who is going to associate intimately with God must go beyond all that is visible and—lifting up his own mind, as to a mountaintop, to the invisible and incomprehensible—believe that the divine is there where the understanding does not reach.'

—St Gregory of Nyssa

Sissi, starring Romy Schneider (dubbed in Spanish, since I don't know any German and Youtube doesn't have an English version).

I might have to check that out tonight. Thanks. However, my version will be in German. I do not know Spanish.

I love the books; and I think the extended version of the movies is really great.
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

It looked like they had some Italian and French versions, too.  ;)

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Yes, I just watched the first movie of this series: 'The Hunger Games' and this sequel. Both were very well done. The trilogy is a good story; the author takes her heroine through one psychological and physical trauma after another; by the end of the last book, she is finally getting over PTSS, but she will never recover totally.
Also, I'm looking forward to watching the Hobbit-2; I saw the trailer on youtube, and it looks like a great movie. I also enjoyed the first movie a lot. Peter Jackson has made Tolkien's little story into an epic.

I haven't seen the first one yet. A cousin was reading the three books and finished them very quickly. I went with her and another cousin that likes the series too.

I recently watched two Legend of the Galatic Heroes movies:

"My Conquest Is the Sea of Stars"

And

"Overture to a New War"

Isnt Superman supposed to be some post modern, jewish allegory?

It originally had a Moses theme going with the being sent to Earth in a rocket ship alone like Moses was sent down the Nile.

What eventually and naturally develops out of that is the Christ-figure precisely because Moses and all of the Jewish heroes of the Old Testament are prefigurements of Christ and for that matter Catholic saints. 

People never tire of having their stories be patterned on the truth of what we were made for. 

If they stray too far, the hero flops and the story dies, if they bring the hero closer to Our Lord and the truths of the Faith, the story gains in popularity.

Very interesting.

Having that in mind, the rejection of traditional, or typical heroic characters, and people preferring troubled, flawed hero types in recent years. What could be gathered from that?

No, it's actually quite complicated.  Basically, a pick pocket pick-pockets a woman carrying stolen information to the Russians, and who was being watched by the Feds.  So now he is in hot water, and things spiral out of control.  It's from 1953, IIRC.
