Oso planning to go pro
Yes. Hop over to Leuven and stay a few nights in Antwerp. I prefer Antwerp to Brussels in general.Thx for the Keys tips. I'm there right now.
Yeah, we are just using Brussels as a base for a series of visits. Bruges, Ghent, a side trip to the Netherlands. Trains are easier than moving around multiple times. Enjoy the keys!

Ok that makes more sense. Its a good hub for that.I really prefer anywhere in Belgium. Antwerp is such a great cultural center with so much history. Ive been there so many times there for work it took going with my wife last month to re-appreciate it as a city. Bruges, Ghent, Leuven, and Liege is actually quite cool too.Brussels just feels kind of one note. I know the palace and such is there, and the EU is there so its quite multicultural, but it really is otherwise unremarkable IMO.
I couldn't agree more, you're spot-on. I would hit Maastricht if you can pbiflyer. I think it's about an hour and a half from Brussels.
Okay, it’s on the list. Now I am reconsidering Brussels as the base. Maybe Antwerp?

Amadeus is my #1I’ll watch Patton anytime it’s played. I’m a sucker for Sound of Music.Agree with 82 on The Sting. Comedy: The Bird Cage.
That's a real good list, Lenny, including your "others" and comedies. When I was growing up, one of the NY stations used to televise Marx Brothers movies pretty regularly on Saturday nights. My brother and I would watch 'em and then drive our parents nuts on Sunday quoting them. "Two more hard-boiled eggs!" "If I hold you any closer, I'll be in back of you." "Get your Tootsie Frootsie ice cream!"I never saw Whiplash and I don't really remember it. I just now googled it and it looks pretty good. I think I'll check it out!
Lenny we don’t agree on a lot but I absolutely agree on a memento and whiplash. There is hope for us.
Amadeus was so much fun.
What's not to like about Amadeus?Great music. Great costumes. Great conflict. Checks off all the boxes for an outstanding movie.Salieri would not have liked the film.

Am I the only one with Commando in my top 10? I’m not joking either.
