Not afraid to say this could be my favorite movie ever.

"[...] Morimos, morimos, morimos ricos en amantes y tribus y sabores que degustamos en cuerpos en los que nos sumergimos como si nadáramos en un río, miedos en los que nos escondimos como esta triste gruta.

Quiero todas esas marcas en mi cuerpo, nosotros somos los países auténticos, no las fronteras trazadas en los mapas con nombres de hombres poderosos.
Se que vendrás y me llevarás al palacio de los vientos. Solo eso he deseado, recorrer un lugar como ese contigo, con nuestros amigos, una tierra sin mapas. [...]"

Fun fact: As production was about to begin, the film lost its financial backing while on location. In the 11th hour, a new investor came in to help the film get under way. Thank God!

Who woulda thought this movie was a horror film. The "English" patient looks like Freddy Krueger. DD:

The movie I fell in love with Ralph Fiennes as an actor :)

I like this movie above all others. It is "multi-layered"; there is so much to see and appreciate. Every viewing brings a new appreciation of the story-line, the plot and the characters. Faultlessly acted and extremely enjoyable if you take the time to watch it and appreciate it. I love the interaction between the players; the subtle relationships; the period atmosphere. Ralph Fiennes is perfectly cast as the brooding lover and Geoffrey the wronged husband is beautifully underplayed by Colin Firth. The scene in the sand storm where Catherine & El-masy are discussing the different types of sand storms is one of the high-lights of the film and where the affair really starts. The other relationship between Hanna & El-masy is yet another "layer" of the movie which is totally enchanting (and heart-rending). A worthy winner of so many awards.

Another romantic movie w/ my sisters.. does it count as a movie night when its morning???? Lol

Another one of @WeinsteinFilms' hugely award winning pictures during their hugely successful time with @Miramax! A total of 9 wins out of 12 Academy Awards nominations that included "Best Director"... more

Another one of @WeinsteinFilms' hugely award winning pictures during their hugely successful time with @Miramax! A total of 9 wins out of 12 Academy Awards nominations that included "Best Director" and "Best Picture," along with many of the awards that such a strong period piece should earn. It features two of my favorites as well: Wisconsin's own Billy Dafoe and of course the hugely talented and brilliant, Mr. Colin Firth.

Just rewatched this classic.

I lurve both of these lasses.

This is the first time I've ever actually watched this movie & its vastly better than I was expecting! Not sure entirely what I thought I'd see but something along the lines of an incredibly boring movie about a nurse taking care of her patient, and it is surprisingly so much more. I wonder if this means I should give the Piano a try. There's a lot to be said about movies with unfortunately horrendously awful titles!

It's been ages since I've seen this. Loooooove Ralph Fiennes!!! Such a great movie

When they said this movie is boring, I couldn't imagine it would be that boring...

Great movie. Never gets old. Amazing story. Ralph Fiennes, Juliette and Kristina Scott are amazing.

Seen this before. One of my top 20 movies to watch. Tearjerker

Okay so I guess ralph fiennes makes it worth the watch

I never get tired of watching this film.

Watching this amazing movie while I doze off

I watched The English Patient.

Mais um filme legal que nem ouvi falar. Antes de saber que tinha ganhado vários Oscars, já estava achando que merecia um. E tem atores que lembram outros personagens, como Sayid de Lost e o Duende Verde do Homem-Aranha. =P

everybody has a secret... i would hate to lose my thumbs

Everyone I know hates this film, except me...

Catching up on my list of things I was too busy to do back in the 90's....JR's took priority

Stopped watching after 15 minuten.

Absoluut 1 van de mooiste films aller tijden!! En let op die heerlijke muziek...

Ralph Fiennes actually look like Bradley Cooper

As long movies go, The English Patient is certainly long. Fortunately it isn't any longer in Blu-ray

I'm in Oscar mode lol

Another of the many great movies featuring Ralph Fiennes. Can somebody tell me why he has only been nominated for 2 academy awards in '94 & '97??? Let alone that he hasn't received one yet... more

Ralph Fiennes is good and the movie is great...

My wife's favourite film. I appreciate more as I get older
