Lund is a city in Sweden.
But Lund means something very different in Hindu. Big Grin

I just looked it up. Oh my!

And I have to correct you, Ken (its what I live for after all Big Grin ).
The religion is Hindu;
the language is Hindi.

Glad to help,

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Got a good chuckle from the Ben Stiller Show last night concerning this. The skit was them doing Woody Allen's version of The Bride of Frankenstein, and one of the lines was Frankenstein's monster saying, "I haven't been that scared since I saw the colorized version of Casablanca." The entire skit was quite funny and I am a big fan of the show; they do great impersonations.

Thanks for the correction Jim.

You found out what Lund means in Hindi?

WELL! You can imagine the look on the face of an Indian friend when I told him about Kaye and I stopping in the village of Lund, British Columbia, (we were sailing to Desolation Sound) stepping into the Lund Hotel, and having their famous Lundburger for lunch.

He nearly had a stroke trying not to laugh.

[QUOTE=Biggles]The first time?! Mark down the date, because you have not lived until you've seen Casablanca! Certainly at least one of the greatest movies ever, and IMHO perhaps THE greatest (since GWTW and Citizen Kane didn't do much for me, sorry to say).

I must confess that GWTW and Citizen Kane didn't work for me either. Casablanca, on the other hand, is a keeper, worth a watch at least once a year. While I'm at it, may I also recommend "All The King's Men" with Broderick Crawford. One of his best roles and one damn fine flick.

If you love Casablanca, don't miss The Maltese Falcon & Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Two awesome movies in their own right.

Can ya believe Reagan was the first choice for Rick??

Did you see the remake, it was called "BARB WIRE"

I actually preferred Maltese Falcon over Casablanca. Maybe I'm just a film noir fangirl. I also went out and read the book, which was also very entertaining. Does anyone listen to the Ebert commentaries? I find them pretty interesting...
