Mine is Jean de Florette (1986) Most people I meet have never heard of it and I love showing it to them. Must have watched it 15 times now.
I am in the mood for something amazing to watch, suggestions?
One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest
I was watching that a couple years back and almost didn't recognize Danny Devito! He was so young and wacky in that film. Epic flick.
In my DVD's for sure...."
The Lion in Winter. My favorite movie of any type.
Saturday night is all about cheesy Sci Fi on Svengoolie. Although tonight is a good movie, The Blob. The real one with Steve McQueen.
I remember the old Blob movie but I didn't think Steve was in it. Old Harvey Mushman (his fake name used to enter a motorcycle race without anyone knowing it was him) is my hero. Now let's see if I can find this on youtube or a streaming service.
Oh yes and Anita Corseult, not sure of the spelling, Helen Crump from Mayberry.
Cool Hand Luke!!!!!
My son's middle name is Luke, I have seen it Haven't watched it with him yet however, time to find my dvd so we can watch it together.
Probably an old Paul Newman movie that I saw in my youth called Cool Hand Luke....and the line that has always stuck in my mind and so relatable to me at the time...."What we have here is a failure to communicate".
"Dear Boys: Playin' it cool. Luke." My sons middle name is Luke, I am familiar with the movie! LOL
Great movie; studied it in film class during my college years.
One of my all time favs. Fav line is " I wish you'd quit being so good to me, Captain".
I love both Jean de Florette and the sequel, Manon of the Spring. Manon is the daughter of Jean de Florette, and she gets her revenge.
Thanks for posting this. I just put in a request for these from the library.
Another one would be, 'Delicatessen'...
A non-Tarantino film in my personal top five is "Gattaca," a drama by Andrew Niccol. Set in an indeterminate, somewhat dystopian future, a young man fights to pursue his dreams in a society where most people have been genetically engineered. Fabulous retro-futuristic art direction and outstanding performances from Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Jude Law, and Tony Shalhoub.
