Can you clarify what genre you like? Somehow I am under the impression you like independent and foreign films...

A good way to see excellent films is to look at the lists of "top 100" compiled by the AFI or other film institutes.

[Kiechi]

To tell you the truth, I like anything and everything. Shoot away.

[vashti]

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

Grazie Vashti. Going to watch a few of them tonight. I recently just watched Leon: The professional. GREAT film, I recommend it to everyone. Has anyone seen it before?

[vashti]

Not I. What's it about?

I rented Motorcycle Diaries last night. It was a good film.

Léon (1994)

Mathilda, a twelve-year old New York girl, is living an undesirable life among her half-family. Her father stores drugs for two-faced cop Norman Stansfield. Only her little brother keeps Mathilda from breaking apart. One day, Stansfield and his team take cruel revenge on her father for stretching the drugs a little, thus killing the whole family. Only Mathilda, who was out shopping, survives by finding shelter in Léon's apartment in the moment of highest need. Soon, she finds out about the strange neighbour's unusual profession - killing - and desperately seeks his help in taking revenge for her little brother. Léon, who is completely unexperienced in fatherly tasks, and in friendships, does his best to keep Mathilda out of trouble - unsuccessfully. Now, the conflict between a killer, who slowly discovers his abilities to live, to feel, to love and a corrupt police officer, who does anything in his might to get rid of an eye witness, arises to unmeasurable proportions - all for the sake of a little twelve-year old girl, who has nearly nothing to lose.

That was a good one- I remember that one.

Have you seen La Femme Nikita?

Will you let a grey-haired old guy suggest a film that has been known to lead to love-making right after it ends? Like, right there on the couch as the credits roll and they warn you "This-is-protected-by-copyright-laws-and-all-prosecutors-will-be-violated."?

Check out the romantic movie "[URL="http://www.somewhereintime.tv/"]Somewhere in Time[/URL]". Take it for what it is - a fantasy love story, not a piece of great literature, nor a well-researched science fiction tale nor a ghost story. It is something of a cult film, with its own fan club, an annual convention, etc. My wife & I are familiar with the location where it was filmed, and even have snapshots of us re-enacting, on the original location, the scene where Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour first met.

Daletom --- Grey haired? I was under the impression you were young. Anyways, thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitly get round to watching it and I will let you know what I think of it.

Also,

Apartment Zero

and for a bit of the bizarre and trashy, check out a John Waters movie. I like Cry Baby, Polyester, and Pecker.

Daletom --- Grey haired? I was under the impression you were young.

Serious question - please be honest - what made you think I am "young"? (Whatever "young" means.)

In fact, two of my own kids have completed college. My mid-kid, who really belongs in grad school, got married right after graduation last year and now has a daughter of her own. I'm from the generation that actually did those nuclear attack drills in school, listened to news reports from Woodstock as it happened, and watched Detroit burn.
