MY FAVORITE MOVIES

Everyone should make a list like this! Well, okay, most of you probably already have done......at least mentally. For many years--in fact, ever since I started getting really excited about film -- people have been asking what movies are on my list of favorites. I have always avoided listing "greatest" anythings, because those kinds of lists are so subjective, so unique to the lister, even judgmental.

But I do have favorites -- many of them, all different types of films. Your comments and questions are welcome, and I'd love to see your list too!
---James Gibson

These are films I love and can watch over and over again. Where there is more than one version, I've given the date of my favorite. 'The' and 'A' are usually omitted from the titles. I recommend them all....and frankly, I think every actor and director should watch these!
All About Eve - All the President's Men - Amadeus - Anna Karenina (2012) - August Rush - Beguiled (1967) - Ben Hur - Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - Book Thief - Casablanca - Cat's Meow - Center Stage - Center Stage On Pointe - Clear & Present Danger - Closely Watched Trains - Crucible (1996) - Defection of Simas Kudirka - Doctor Zhivago - Emerald Forest - Falcon & the Snowman - Far From the Madding Crowd (2015) - Flight of the Phoenix (1965) - Girl with a Pearl Earring - Golden Compass - Grease - Gone with the Wind - Grand Budapest Hotel - Great Gatsby (1974) - Horse Whisperer - Hunt for Red October - Inkheart - In the Land of Women - Interpreter - Jane Eyre (2011) - Key Largo - K19: The Widowmaker - Lawrence of Arabia - Les Miserables (2012) - Little Big Man - Maltese Falcon - Man in the Moon (1991) - Mamma Mia! - Master & Commander: Far Side of World - Mistress of Spices - Murder on the Orient Express - Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) - My Big Fat Greek Wedding (and MBFGW2) - New World - Night of the Iguana - Now, Voyager - Other Boleyn Girl - Painted Veil - Patriot Games - Pearl Harbor - Perfect Storm - Phantom of the Opera (2004) - Reincarnation of Peter Proud - Robin Hood (2010) - Romeo & Juliet (1968) - Sound of Music - Spy Who Came In from the Cold - Stealing Beauty - Tailor of Panama - 10,000 BC - Taming of the Shrew (1967) - Three Days of the Condor - Time Machine (2002) - Titanic - Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011) - 2001: A Space Odyssey - West Side Story - Winter's Tale (2014)

IMPORTANT UPDATES & OUR 2020

Hello everyone! I would like to provide you with an update on what has been happening with World Oceans Arts -- and even more importantly, what is going to happen during the rest of this year. This update is the result of many ideas, meetings, communication from our artists and audiences, and more. It is also, unavoidably, an update on where we are as a result of the virus pandemic sweeping the globe. The good news is that at WOA we are moving forward with vigor, new ideas and projects, new resources and new audiences. For those who may be new to us or confused by all our memos and blogs and announcements: World Oceans Arts is the production company sibling to AcquaTroupe, which is a live performance ensemble. James Gibson Arts is an adjunct to both entities which links my own professional activities to both those organizations. Collectively and humorously we are known as JAW. World Oceans Arts is currently in the recording studio and we have been for some time! We began a series o

WIDENING OUR REACH

Every so often it is healthy for people working together to assess where they are and what they have done. We are affectionately known as JAW (James Gibson Arts, AcquaTroupe and World Oceans Arts). For all practical purposes, we are one unit. We are several hundred people in contact with one another, most of us creative or performing artists. We are trying to use artistic expression to make the world a little better, to inspire and fulfill people, to offer our interpretations of life and the universe in meaningful ways. AcquaTroupe is rapidly filling up the calendar with future performance commitments and projects throughout North America and Europe. World Oceans Arts is steadily moving through the huge mission of bringing two new movies to the screen: 1969  and Litany,  both of which will offer broad commentary on our world today and on who we are as people. Our artistic director is finding the time to publish, record and distribute his 300+ original creations and to mentor some of
