Good stuff.
Also, I can't think of anything featuring Dominique Pinon that I haven't liked.

e: even Micmacs - although that has the bonus of André Dussollier.

Yes it is! And now it got me hankering for more of that super cool French 80s Cinema du look.

So I've lined up Betty Blue and Mauvais Sang, and later probably Boy Meets Girl, Metro and maybe Nikita.  Most of which I've seen before, but it's been a while.

He has huge character actor career but I always think Jeunet & Caro.



Somehow haven't seen Micmacs yet. Thanks for mentioning it.

Amazing Grace
[asin]B000VNMMQG[/asin]
An excellent movie with a good cast, all the players in suitable roles, a well cast cast, about William Wilberforce.

Sad to say, I suspect I need to add an explanation of who Wilberforce was. But I won't.

I believe in recycling whenever possible.

When it first came out, it had the wonderful effect of proving that some youngsters could at the same time know where the aria Ebben?..ne andrò lontana came from, and feel über-cool... 

Should revisit it... Very fond memories of this one.

The Numbers Station....

Hey Ken - own the DVD of Amazing Grace w/ Ioan Gruffudd, who I also enjoy in the Hornblower TV series (also have on DVD in my collection).

Last night, we streamed the third film above (on my 'to see' list):

The Zookeeper's Wife (2017) w/ Jessica Chastain, Johan Heldenbergh, and Daniel Brühl - short synopsis below and a true story; more information on Jan Żabiński (1897–1974) and Antonina Żabiński (1908–1971) HERE - reviews: 7/10, IMDB; 60% (6/10) from critics & 79% (3.9/5) from audience, Rotten Tomatoes - the critics seemed to have 'downgraded' the film based on a lost opportunity to tell a powerful story; despite their opinions, I enjoyed and would have to do a 4*/5* rating on Amazon (which was 4.2/5*) - recommended.  Dave

The time is 1939 and the place is Poland, homeland of Antonina Zabinski and her husband, Dr. Jan Zabinski. The Warsaw Zoo flourishes under Jan's stewardship and Antonina's care. When their country is invaded by the Nazis, Jan and Antonina are forced to report to the Reich's newly appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck. The Zabinskis covertly begin working with the Resistance and put into action plans to save the lives of hundreds from what has become the Warsaw Ghetto.

     I watched Burn After Reading last night, a delightful romp. I particularly enjoyed the "all's well that ends well" conclusion.

I need to see that one again. I am a big fan of the Coens, but that one flew right over my head when I first saw it.

I haven't seen that either.

And I've only seen this once (on release) but I want to watch it again -

I've at last watched the 2-hour-20-min. documentary Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures. Highly worthwhile.

     I have it, and I haven't watched it, which is strange because I'm a super fan of Michael Stuhlbarg.

Not easy viewing, but then nor should it be given the subject matter. To the extent that it is even possible to have any idea of what it was like to be a member of the Sonderkommando in a death camp, I would imagine this is probably about as close as we can get.

This one has more grit than P12 sandpaper.
