Cloned From: 

My Neighbor Totoro is great and I'm really wanting to see Grave of Fireflies. I agree with you on the Warner Bros. cutting together the classics. I always see those movies on TV and thought they should have just released the cartoons strung together without the story.

I'm with you. That process is really bizarre.

What about Willow?

I actually hadn't heard much about this movie until you mentioned it. But sure, what the hell, I'll add it to my Unfortunately Haven't Seen list.

Nice to see "The Decalogue" in there, but it's too bad you didn't like "Distant Voices, Still Lives" more. I love that movie.

Sorry I missed this post, SteveR. If you want to see my review (of sorts) of Distant Voices, Still Lives, it is here.
