Movies Recently Watched 7-7-22

 Been almost 2 months since I have posted movies we have watched.

As usual, some are repeats, since the library holds don't always come in a timely manner. The repeats are ones that we own. In no particular order - some will have comments, some will not.  Will make note of ones that we found particularly interesting to watch Special Features.   Special features often are the "director's cut", other times they are just highlighted scenes of interest.  Three films were filmed during the Covid Pandemic, so those might be of interest for you to watch the Special Feature.

Central Station (Brazilian, 1998) photography is stunning👍👍👍👍👍

Quigley Down Under (1990) always enjoy the scene when Quigley faces down the British troops in the corral - very "unearthly". 👍👍👍👍

Madame Blanc Mysteries - filmed on the islands of Gozo and Malta, during the Pandemic, watch the special features 👍👍👍👍👍

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (English version) - kept telling my husband "this is a dark story", well, what can I say?👍

Belfast - loosely based on Kenneth Branagh's childhood in Belfast during the "troubles".  Filmed during the Pandemic, watch the special features.  👍👍👍👍👍

Licorice Pizza - we knew it had been nominated for an Oscar, did not know the background story.  My husband really enjoyed Alana Haim's performance, after watching it I did some research, which was extremely interesting - you can find it on ScreenRant.com.  Also filmed during the Pandemic, watch the Special Features. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Rustler's Rhapsody - great western musical parody. 👍👍👍👍

Confidentially Yours - French film by the late Francois Truffant, his final film 1983.  You have to enjoy black and white films. 👍👍👍👍

Dune - even though it won numerous Oscars, we found it overly long, the music drowned out the dialogue. 👍👍

Hinterland series 3 - continuation of the Welch detective, dark.👍👍👍

Best Defense - can't remember why 👍

Big Bang Theory- seasons 1,2,3,4 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Northern Exposure - Final Season. Apparently NOT available through streaming services👍👍👍👍👍👍

Seems Like Old Times - Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn comedy, seemed a little flat compared to their pairing in Foul Play. 👍👍 

Enchanted April - just a delight 👍👍👍👍👍👍

ABBA Forever The Winner Takes it All - documentary of ABBA. Still LOVE their music. Watch the special features 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Julia : The Delicious Life of America's First Food Icon - documentary of the one and only Julia Child.  Great food scenes.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Last but NOT Least    A Good Year - the one and only Russell Crowe movie that we both enjoy re-watching.  I mean who doesn't enjoy beautiful scenery with a glass of wine.  We have lost count of how many times we have watched this one, but it was the first time we watched the Special Features. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

See you at the movies 👀👀
