  1. Phoenix was dead at 23, sad, so much potential. Bruce, have you done a page on River’s brother Leaf Phoenix? Are you there chief? [waves arms frantically]

    I’ve seen 7 of the 14 films on the chart. Favorites are – Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Explorers, Sneakers and Stand By Me. I’ve also seen, Little Nikita, I Love You to Death and The Mosquito Coast.

    Good stuff. Vote Up!
