Met the "The Elephant Man" again with yet another viewing of one of my favorite movies of all time. I remember when I first laid eyes on "The Elephant Man" when I was 12 years old, and was mesmerized with the pure beauty of "The Elephant Man".

I learned so much about friendship, humanity, empathy, and equality in watching this movie. It was also the first time a movie truly moved me. John Hurt's performance as the title character is one of my favorite thespian performances of all time.

Anthony Hopkins also shined with his goodwill performance . I am not a movie freak, I am just another human being that has been a big fan of David Lynch's classic film.
