Riders of Justice.
Danish film with, well, Mads Mikkelsen of course, playing a career military SOG type guy. It's a bit rambo + IT crowd + some Napolean dynamite quirks. oh and Power of the Dog. |

Didn't know where else to post this, but 'Drive My Car' is now on HBO and it is easily the best film I've seen in recent memory. Truly, truly wonderful. I didn't even think about how long the 3 hour run time was while watching it. Pacing was superb. Can't really stop thinking about it. Love the film's poster too.

Two excellent films about soldiers blinded in World War II and their subsequent readjustment to civilian life:
1) Pride of the Marines (1945), with John Garfield 2) Bright Victory (1951), with Arthur Kennedy

The Great Silence, my favorite "spaghetti western." It stars two of my favorite actors, Jean-Louis Trintignant (who just passed away) and Klaus Kinski.
Other Trintignant films that I recommend, some well known, others not so much: Violent Summer Le combat dans l'île Il Sorpasso Trans-Europ-Express Les Biches Z My Night at Maud's The Conformist The Outside Man The Last Train Love at the Top Flic Story Three Colors: Red

Agreed. Another film from long ago that people might have watched (but not many) Into the West by Mike Newell. |

A musician friend encouraged me to have a look at 'Not Fade Away'--which was Sopranos' creator David Chase's feature film from about a decade ago.
It's basically an autobiographical look at his late-teen years in New Jersey, and forming a rock band in the early '60s. Little Stevie did the music--and had a good chunk of the budget (and wrote some believable originals)... For anyone who grew up then--it is wonderfully allusive--more impressionistic than narrative driven--with the passage of time marked by then- current hits. It is of course a coming-of-age movie, but for anyone who ever rented (or borrowed) amps, set up equipment in someone's garage or basement and dreamed about being a rock start, it's the real deal. |

do you watch films with subtitles = French film "Delicious"
a film about gourmet food, societal class, romance, and revenge.
