Yes, it's true. In addition to the many, many SLIFF movies I saw, there were others. Witness:
The Princess Bride: ahh, a classic. We watched this one over Thanksgiving. Nothing like Billy Crystal as Miracle Max, young Fred Savage, and lovely Robin Wright all in a movie together. With sword fighting. And a giant. It doesn't get much better than that.
3:10 to Yuma: Russell Crowe is a pretty good actor, it turns out. He plays a good tough guy, with or without a soft side. And I've loved Christian Bale forever - from Empire of the Sun to Little Women to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. (He even voiced characters in Pocahontas and Howl's Moving Castle!) Winner.
Roots, episodes 1-4: working my way through these, but I still have a long way to go. Quite an impressive undertaking by Mr. Haley, I must say. As well as by me, for watching them!
