Update for Movie suggestions

Well I got that; the incessant use of the n word bugged me.

 

Yeah, there are a lot of cringe moments in that movie, and other comedies from that era - Airplane! I'm looking at you

 

curious when was the first time you watched it?

 

When my friend's daughter graduated from little Ft. Lewis College in Durango, Gary Farmer was the speaker.

 

Agree. When Gandolfini appears I thought “oh there’s Tony S”, but then quickly only saw his character the rest of the movie. He was a good actor. But he was looking rough - his last movie.

 

This is an old one (2017) but I can really recommend “Godless” on Netflix. Relax @tilly not a slam on Christianity. It’s a seven part Western that features Jeff Daniels as the big bad. Excellent acting, pastoral views of New Mexico territory, lots of violence, a few twists on the theme and a great score that is probably better because I watched a good part of it stoned…

 

Yes but no skin sadly, one glimpse of a boob unrelated..

 

1977 or 78.

 

Classy call out,.. and Jeff Daniels is great

 

I liked it, but it was weird to adjust to Daniels as the bad guy.

 

liked that 1. Was just thinking about rewatching.

 

Ooh similar to those two and the directorial debut by Jake Johnson? I’m in.

 

My wife and I do romcoms too and have found a few winners maybe off the beaten path. If you haven’t seen any of these, they might be worth a look:

Rye lane
Baby done
7 Days
Castaway on the moon
Licorice Pizza
A guide to dating at the end of the world
The Unicorn
Not suitable for children
Everybody loves somebody
The breaker uppers

 

dang. I like a romcom. Have only heard of a few of those. I could prob list a few off the beaten track too. But, I'll just throw out 2 for now with the caveat that Parker Posey + Marisa Tomei are prob my fav romcomers ever.

1. Broken English
2. Happy Accidents
bonus pick - Elsewhere - not good reviews, honestly not a great movie, but loved seeing that Parker can still deliver her inimitable blend of strength & vulnerability

edit. 1 more - Safety not Guaranteed

 

Ooh I like Posey and Tomei as well and actually haven’t seen either of these. And I give a second nod for Safety Not Guaranteed. Very good. And if we are doing mumblecore, I’ll add Drinking Buddies.

Also, a few of my list are from Australia / New Zealand, so as a fellow fan of Colin from Accounts, you might connect with them.

 

A couple of good foreign films:

Nowhere in Africa - Jewish family flees to Africa as Hitler rises to power (German) Excellent

Jack Strong - awesome Cold war era spy film based on a true story (Polish)

 

3 body problem on Netflix off to a promising start…

Bonus Eliza Gonzalez is so freaking hot

 

I would recommend kung Fury or the original Red Dawn

 

I watched Poor Things. The acting was unsurprisingly great and the ending was fun but not sure I understand the hype overall.
