Cinema Paradiso is totally in my top ten favorite films of all-time. I even love the extended version. It explains a certain unresolved relationship that is hugely prominent in the first half of the theatrical version and then disappears completely in the second half.

Bornieo and I disagree a little about
Finding Kraftland. I enjoyed it immensely. And meeting Kraft in person was a hoot. Yes, the man has money, but if I had the money he had I would be doing the same things he did and buying some of the things he did. (And I know for a fact that CoasterMatt would be traveling around the world riding every single roller coaster ever made just like Kraft and his son did if he had the cha-ching to do it.) I found the movie to be less about his collections and more about him and his family. His relationship with his son is just wonderful. And it's a tear-jerker, too.
On top of everything else, I won a bobble head figure of Kraft and his son. He asked, 'Who's the big laughing guy in this section' meaning our section. I pointed at Mark. But he gave the bobble head to me, anyway. I think it had something to do with my tear stained face. Yes, I was moved. Movies move me. Yay! I'm going to keep the bobble head to remind me to find more joy in life.
