SPOILER: Yes, after watching the final episodes of season 3 now i'm sure, that this is the best episode of lost ever (very very close followed by the final episode of season 3) ! The 23rd palm moment (Mr. Eko praying with Charlie next to him) for his dead brother is one if not the most touching moment in television history. And the soundtrack fits perfectly. The rest of the episode is equally brilliant, telling why young innocent Eko turned into a coldblooded murderer : protecting his younger brother Yemi Eko was forced to kill. Then he became Mr. Eko, a drug dealer and murderer without soul (see memorable quotes). He even isn't scared of smokey and doesn't even bother running away when confrontend with the monster on the island.

...And Hope to Die
(1972)
One of the best french Films of the 70's
22 October 2004
Yes, i loved this film from the first minute on. One big reason might be the wonderful, melancholic, touching and fabulous soundtrack by Francis Lai, which i didn't managed to get yet. It's a real shame, that this masterpiece of film music is not available anymore. And for the ending : very touching !!! Knowing, that Ryan had cancer when filming makes the ending more touching. I wish, this film and its soundtrack gets the treatment it deserves (Criterion Collection anyone ?!). A nice uncut (french version is uncut, the German one is cut) version on DVD and a soundtrack re-release and i'm in heaven !
