Just saw THE HURT LOCKER. Whoa - what a brilliant movie, but so difficult to watch. Compelling and horrifying, and definitely Oscar-worthy! I can feel myself avoiding INGLORIOUS BASTERDS just because Tarantino has been such an adolescent lately - I don't trust his name on things anymore. Really want to see A SERIOUS MAN - thanks for the heads-up about it coming out on DVD.
Gosh. I love movies. Wish I could find someone to pay me to watch them. Not review them. Just watch them. Heaven.
The Hurt Locker is on my coffee table right now. I hope to watch it this weekend.
Yes, wouldn't it be great to watch movies without having any other obligation!
I'm curious, what's your all-time favorite movie?
Ooh - one all time favorite? That's hard. Right now, off the top of my head, here are a dozen (there would be a different list, I think, each day):
NIGHTS OF CABIRIA
THE DRESSER
VERTIGO
ELLING
WINGS OF DESIRE
ROMAN HOLIDAY
CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS
THE GRADUATE
BREAD AND TULIPS
PERSUASION (the version with Amanda Root)
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
MAN ON THE TRAIN
How about you? What are your favorites?
My all-time favorite is Enchanted April;
after that I have a whole bunch more including:
Room with a View
The Commitments
Love Actually(I'm a big Hugh Grant fan)
