Got to thinking about which movies I enjoy seeing more than once and came up with a few favorites -- perhaps you'd enjoy them, perhaps you already have. I won't call them Best Pictures, except that I do remember thinking, the first time I saw Babette's Feast, that this was what motion pictures were invented for. 
The rest is not a particularly intellectual list, now that I think about it, but anyhow, along with Babette, I am fond of Starman, 
Moonstruck and -- shoot! Lying in bed this morning I had a list and now I can't remember the others. I'll let you know if they come to me. Meanwhile -- Netflix says I need to add to my queue. Your recommendations?
The Birdcage, one of the absolute funniest movies ever, along with Some Like it Hot; Frisco Kid, we talked about that the other day; almost anything with Meryl Streep in it.
ReplyDeleteWe recently enjoyed "Hello my name is Doris" and "Sing Street" which we saw at Chautauqua.
ReplyDeleteI'm net-flixing them right away, thanks.
ReplyDeleteWell, I must put in a plug for Casablanca, Singin' in the Rain, The African Queen, The Philadelphia Story, Bull Durham, and The Big Chill (not necessarily in that order). And I have a sneaking fondness for the 1940 Pride and Prejudice, gloriously anachronistic though it is.
ReplyDeleteI don't even mind that they changed the era and the ending of the story - Olivier was the best Darcy ever - he smouldered. (Long ago read in a bio of somebody? that he and Garson had had an affair in England a year or two before that.)
DeleteHave you seen Brooklyn? It's about a young woman, an Irish immigrant to Brooklyn in the 50s. Fine acting. Old fashioned in its pacing.

The Sapphires. About an aboriginal girl group out of Australian in the '70s. I don't know if it's on Netflix, but I think you'd like it.
ReplyDeleteLittle Miss Sunshine! Also Cool Hand Luke, Bread and Tulips, Chocolate, and When Harry Met Sally. - Miriam.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see the great detail here!.
