Thanks for you patience, dear intet... :) I am patient myself but I sometimes easily forget and don't usually look back. :D

Now that you reminded me of your height, the beach towel is just right...but then, maybe I should have offered a blanket. :D :D :D

As Good As It Gets is a very funny movie. Whether one enjoy Jack Nicholson or not, this is one of his best performances in a comedy on the white screen ever, acting like this author living single who just can´t take company by other people, arrogant to his teeth, king of all prejudism. JN hates male gays and dogs, can´t eat in a restaurent without bringing his own knife and fork, has closets full of soap, only to be used once, his front door bolted from the inside with 5 locks, he can´t walk the pavement like ordinary people, he talks to and expect everyone around him to be his personal slaves etc.etc. A classical disorder of neurosis.

Mrs. Hunt his female contradiction of an ordinary normal functioning human being, mother and working as his patient waittress, with a son who suffers from astma, acts up to him the best way possible and Greg Kinnaird masterly performing as his neighbour a gay artist with huge family troubles, who almost goes bankrupt after being mugged at his apartment.

I´ve seen this movie 4 times and it still is As Good As It Gets.

La Grande illusion (1937) Jean Renoir

Banned by Mussolini and seized by Hitler (Goebbels referred to Renoir as "Cinematic Public Enemy Number 1"), La Grande illusion is the granddaddy of PoW escape films.

A group of French officers is captured during WWI ad taken to a PoW camp for officers. After various failed escape attempts, they are shipped to a supposedly escape-proof castle (shades of Colditz). From there, two of them hatch an escape bid.

But La Grande ilusion is far more than an escape film. At its heart if a message of shared humanity and the suggestion that, if we all come to understand that we are all essentially the same, we can stop fighting. German and Frenchman can be friends. Jew and gentile can be friends. What unites us is far greater than what divides us.

Surprisingly light-hearted throughout (another precursor of British WWII PoW films), it packs a powerful punch.

The performances, particularly of Jean Gabin and Erich von Stroheim, are excellent.

Hi !

I have seen "TAKEN" a very good French Thriller of Luc Besson.
If this film is released in your country, run to see it.

"Titus Andronicus" - A Julie Taymor Film based on Shakespeare's play with the same title.
 

Contratrombone64

Admiral of Fugues
Jesus Christ Superstar (sorry don't know the cast, but know it's very recent production, maybe in the last two years). I found it really amazing, and very heartfelt.

"Much Ado About Nothing" w/ Kenneth Branagh, Denzel Washington, and Keanu Reeves.

You seem to recognize and admire the english born Kenneth Branagh as a great actor. Did you know, he used to belong to The Royal Shakespeare Ensemble in England? Among those of his great performances is Henry the 8th.

Another one of Kenneth Branagh´s master performances in a movie for the cinama was his interpretation of the doctor, who made Robert Di Nero come: "It´s alive, alive ... it´alive" in the motion picture "Frankenstein", by author Mary Shelley.

Frankenstein first portraited on the white screen with world wide success by the english born, later to be famous american actor William Henry Pratt (1887-1968) equals Boris Karloff in the movie with the same name "Frankenstein" from 1931.
