...Lawrence of Arabia (1962). See David Lean's masterpiece on the big screen and you'll be walking out on pretenders like "Braveheart" for the rest of your life. 2. The Wild Bunch (1984). Dirt, grime, blood and Mexicans; a true mod western with all the soul of Melville. 3. Casablanca (1942). Claude Raines adds just enough salt to a movie that is perfect in every way. 4. Bridge On the River Kwai (1957). Too much Lean? Never. 5. The Third Man (1949). Orson Welles gets best entrance -- but you knew that. What puts this film over...
...call themselves the Masters of Downloading are getting their due allotment of jeers and gibes from the computer security community. Having had a little time to see just what the hackers stole from Pentagon computers last week, the government and its team of hired experts mocked the self-important MOD's grandiose claims of being able to shut down the military's network.

The U.S. cast boasts at least one marquee name--Alan Alda, who plays Marc with a few too many sitcom inflections--along with two solid co-stars, Victor Garber and Alfred Molina. Director Matthew Warchus' sleek, mod production (a white set dominated by three chairs and a coffee table) is essentially the same as the one still drawing nearly full houses in London...
...rest of the cast lends excellent support to the star's one-man show. Clarence Williams III (The Mod Squad's Linc) does a fine job, considering that he is saddled with the film's silliest part: Archie, the black servant who represents an amalgam of all the black people Wallace has ever known. And Mare Winningham is convincing as the loyal first wife Lurleen, who runs for Governor when the law prevents Wallace from succeeding himself...
