- Lilies of the Field
I am not really a fan of Sidney Poitier ( this was purchased as a gift for my step father and he is a fan, state the movie was very good ) will borrow his one day and watch it, right now all I can do is rate it for him.

- Great Gift!
I bought this for my best friend because he said it was the best movie of all times. He loved it as a gift!

- Amazing Catholic Movie
This is a great movie in general and especially for any Catholic family. It is very entertaining with great acting from Sidney Poitier, as would be expected. But it is especially significant for Catholics. It shows us how God calls us to certain tasks in life. We can choose to disobey His Will, or we can choose to follow it. But if we choose to follow it, we should not expect thank you's, rewards, money, or even any recognition. The character played by Poitier is not treated well by the nuns at all, and yet he decides to accomplish what he was asked to do. Not that the nuns are portrayed badly, they are wonderful, pious sisters who humbly serve God and want the best for everyone, but are also determined and head strong: someone like Mother Teresa who if she was promised something by an official of a foreign government or company (for example building a orphanage), she would stubbornly pursue the issue until it was accomplished by that official. For those who love Catholic liturgy and history, figure out why the priest during the Mass in the movie is wearing sunglasses.

- A really good movie
This is a classic, great movie. It's one that is watchable on a repeat basis. Low key but very meaningful. The movie is in black and white but that actually seems to add to it in the same way that the H. Bogart movies 'Casablanca' and 'Sahara' effectively use that medium.
The price is right. It's a keeper. Buy it and sit back and enjoy a great performance.

- Poitier at his best
This is the film that made me a Sidney Poitier fan. Yes, it's touching, and has life's lessons that can be learned, both for him and the nuns, but it is also funny. You can't miss adding this one to your collection. I have it in mine and plan on adding some more of his.

Live Fish Remix MP3s, Have More Talent Than Most American Idol Contestants [Musical Fish]

A Brazilian artist named Vivian Caccuri has put together an installation that uses the movements of live fish to remix the music played on an MP3 player. These fish are tracked using a proximity sensor and their activities trigger adjustments in processing levels, distortion and speaker fade to create a unique sound. Sure, it is about as pointless as snails being used to send email, but it is definitely relaxing to watch. [Vivian Caccuri via Crave]
