Bad Neighbours (or just Neighbours)

I was in the mood for it and it got off to a good start, but I was disappointed and gave up. :(

They don't make them like that anymore.
Oh yes they do.

I'm a bit late to the party for this effort from 2013 but I'm wondering if I just saw the second greatest movie ever made.

The Book Thief.

Beautiful, quite beautiful. http://www.tracheostomy.com/forum/im...happytears.gif

Go to Netflix and find The Fundamentals of Caring. I laughed out loud, a lot. Delightfully black humour and very touching too.

That sounds worth a look. I'd read something on it before and it sounded a bit too soppy and 'worthy', but now I've added it to the list.

So last night I was checking the latest movies available to download and there was one starring Daniel Auteuil, Thierry Lhermitte and Richard Berry (who also directed).

Well, that was good enough for me and, not having a clue what it was about, I downloaded.

Nos Femmes (2015) and I just watched it. Every bit as good as I expected and then some.

The "then some" is a fantastic soundtrack (not the h. scott salinas & jackson greenberg stuff), a terrific mime sequence and a view from an apartment balcony to die for.

Oh gawd, you are actually morphing into a mixture of Jacques Tati and Daphne Du Maurier...and there was me going to comment on Victor Frankenstein but I'm not sure now ..:unsure:

The Missing Girl. 2015.
Low budget, quirky.

Saw that a long time ago. Although I'm happy to revisit some movies (and TV) I am mainly trying to catch up.

I have a back catalogue of downloaded stuff numbering in the hundreds :ohmy:

A Fantastic Fear of Everything

Not one of Simon Pegg's best but enough there for a giggle.
The Final Countdown. :lol:

Cell

Zombie like movie based on a Stephen King novel.

Interesting idea but not very satisfying.

Re: Everyone's gone to the movies-A War/Look Whos Back
 
Two very low-key movies saw recently.

"A War", Danish film about Danish soldiers in Afghanistan. Very low key and not an action film, but great profile of the individual soldier's challenges , and in terms of what their mission is.

"Look Who's Back". Another low key film, and one that I though was silly until far into the film realized how thought-provoking it was. It is a German film with ridiculous concept of Hitler awakening in modern Germany. But it works.
