Bobert, regarding your last post (yesterday)...God Bless Ya!!

I recall my father telling a story years ago to the effect that there was talk in the 1920's of filming the life of Jesus for the silent screen. Someone said seriously that the best man for the leading role would be Charlie Chaplain because he was an athiest and a Jew. I don't know whether the story is true, and I don't know if he was either a Jew or an athiest, but it would have been interesting to see Chaplin in a non-comic part. I bet he could have pulled it off.

As for Mel movies..well, there was that nice chain mail outfit in one of the Mad Max movies. And how could you not enjoy his onscreen draw-&-quartering in Braveheart?
