Watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen yesterday. It was pretty much non-stop fantasy type action. Kinda like Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Not a bad watch.

The Horse Whisperer.

Hands down.

Blackhawk Down is literally non-stop for about the last hour and 40 minutes.

U-571 is pretty good too if you like WW2 era action.

OK then.

How about a recent western, [i]American Outlaws[/i]?

Or maybe just have him cut his sugar and caffiene intake, and chill out for a bit.

Band of Brothers.

My suggestion would be The Lord of The rings.

Horse Whisperer!

What about Black Hawk Down?

Kubrick's "2001: Space Odyssey." Nonstop thrills and excitement, and very easy to follow.
