Next Ten for Netflix: English-Language Films

Greetings to our blog readers in Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong.......

Here is a look at the next ten English-language films we hope to watch on Netflix even though we will be watching the Scottish film "Gregory's Girl" with subtitles as it can be an accent that those of us here in the United States may have trouble understandings.

The images above are of: 1) A scene from "Taxi Driver" with Robert DeNiro, 2) the late Canadian magician Doug Henning (we are using his image as a play on words for "Before I Disappear," a film which is not about magicians) and 3) "King Kong" for "The Immigrant," though she lived a full life, we still miss Fay Wray.

Here is our next ten to watch via Netflix streaming; the order is in order of ranking by the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), (to the right) for a look at documentaries and foreign films, go to our sister blog http://www.politics.cultureanotherwastesoft.blogspot.com

Chuck Norris vs. Cuneyt Arkin (5 of 6)_ The Wild Bride

We continue our series of looking at films by American action movie star of yesteryear Chuck Norris, 72, and his Turkish counterpart Cuneyt Arkin, 75, with a look at one of Arkin's 'romantic films.' "Vahsi Gelin/The Wild Bride" (1978) teamed Arkin with Turkish actress Gulsen Bubikoglu, who was just 24 years old at the time. The image above is a still from the movie which we saw on the TRT (Turkish Radio Television) while in Istanbul several years ago.

So, today, we are asking which of the following actors actually won the Best Actor Oscar for 1978. Is the answer?


A) Dustin Hoffman

B) Jon Voight

C) James Earl Jones

D) Jack Nicholson

E) Christopher Reeve


The answer to last week's quiz is A) Robert DeNiro.
