During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like.
please suggest films you feel are worth, actually very worthy, of watching now? Looking for very good and intelligent films. As far as ones that simply pass the time, that will be for another day. I may have the most interest in any classics I may have missed.....you know, films like 'Howdy Doody, Man or Myth"...and "Sex and the Single Dentist".

jond reminds me: Tarantino. All of em. As good as they all were back in the day, its shocking how well they stand up to viewing decades later. Tarantino is the Master of Meta and if you don't know what that means watch them again you will see. If you're into long movies nothing beats Peter Jackson's Directors Cuts of The Lord of the Rings. The only movies ever made where the additional time truly adds to and moves the story along. Also the only ones where instead of adding stock music they went back and re-recorded with a live symphony orchestra, same as the original theatrical version. Then for fun to see how much he's evolved and for the sheer fun of watching what must be the most exuberantly over the top zombie move of all time, Dead Alive (Braindead) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/ Then for easily the wittiest, most intelligent zombie movie of all time, Fido https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457572/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 |
