ST: Voyager? WTF are you talking about? It has nothing to do with Homers Odyssey, where as O' Brother was an actual adaptation of the story, just rewritten for the Depression era.
Voyager was totally the Odyssey in the future, the starship from planet Earth getting pulled to the other side of the galaxy by a deity-like entity in the 1st episode and then not getting back to Earth till the last episode, it was an galactic scale Odyssey copyRobbM said:

Ummmm, have you actually read the book? The only similarities are the fact that they went on an adventure and couldn't return home, thats about it..
Can you please state the similarities of Odyssey and "oh brother" thingy. Cause i hated the movie, and so far i am sure i know the odyssey but i never think about it any second watching the movie. may be i slept all the way

theres tons:
The lead character is named Ulysses, theres the sirens that seduce them, one of the characters get transformed into an animal (kinda) , they battle the cyclops (Big Dan) and the whole point of the story is that Ulysses is trying to get home because his wife (the queen) is marrying someone else. I'm sure theres more, thats all I can remember for now.

Braveheart, definitely one of the best films ever made, IMHO.
Has anyone ever seen "The Odyssey" with Armand Assante and Vanessa Williams? I think it was a made for TV movie, came out about 10 years ago or so. I thought that one was pretty enjoyable! But there may be better versions out there.

Wow that was good. I watched the movie half awake, it was so boring for me. But i'd like to watch the original odssey if someone tries to make a new movie out from this myth.

I love the part where they are facing that great British army and everybody wants to quit and go home and he puts that great monologue about fighting.MrFast said:At the moment I'm watching Braveheart for the first time.
Great movie
Saw underworld last night.
Not bad,probably better than the first.
Actually i really don't like that Mel Gibson guy. But his reactions in that movie when he realises he is betrayed by his own man was really touchy.

You didn't like him in Braveheart? What is it you don't like? He's a good, serious actor. Well, at least when he gets down to business. I know he can be a goofball sometimes. At least he has a sense of humor, unlike others!

I also don't like Mel Gibson very much, but better than mr cool "Bruce Willis". Ok, he is cool, but always the same...
