MOVIES, MOVIES, and MORE MOVIES

So, Movie night has been continuing at our home, plus, I discovered several titles that I had forgotten earlier..

Fawlty Towers --- the entire series.

Baghdad Cafe   Accidental Tourist   Bringing Down The House

And now for the most recent titles.......

The Producers (original with Zero Mostel & Gene Wilder)
If you have never seen this -- it is a "black" comedy about 
a play "Springtime for Hitler" that Zero and Gene's characters produce in order for the play to fail and make them a "boatload" of money....  Dick Shawn (what a hoot when his character is in the various scenes) plays a gay Hitler.........

The Great Escape ---- my husband noted that this movie was made in 1963 ---- due to its subject matter, it remains current.

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, by Pedro Almodovar,   one day in the life of 4 women with one connection - guess what that is.  I believe that this was one of the very first movies that Antonio Banderas was in - very young.

A Song for Martin ----  beautiful music, lovely scenery, sad story about one's journey in the loss of memory.  Danish/Swedish 

Wargames ----- take note of the scene with the phone booth and mountain (Whitehorse Mtn) in the background ---- this was filmed in the community of Darrington, WA.  Also the skyline of Seattle has changed dramatically.   We think the ferry is the short one between Anacortes, WA and Guemes Island.  What happens when you try to play a game with a master computer......

Bladerunner ---- the original.  Not much can be said about this dystopian film, other than it is supposed to have occurred in 2019, fortunately we haven't quite gotten there, but it may still occur....

You've Got Mail ----- I "love" Tom Hanks, what else can I say about this - the timing between Tom and Meg Ryan was well done.

Catch Me If you Can --- another Tom Hanks, based on a true story, with Leonardo DiCaprio.

All That Jazz ----- Bob Fosse lived a high paced, excessive life within the Broadway circle - Roy Scheider, portrays Bob in this flick.   Ben Vereen and Jessica Lange have very interesting parts in this musical.  One scene has excessive nudity, however, it plays out into the story of Bob's view of what a dance scene should involve ---- for its time, that the scene was even considered to be part of a Broadway musical, well......    There are many dance scenes, we both discussed the fact that we felt they were possibly the best dance sequences of any movie we have ever seen.

Happy Viewing......
