Default Saw Moonstruck again recently on Netflix

Oh, Wow, Littlepaw. Another Jane Austen fan!

Saturday Night Fever -- The 6:00 p.m. dinner scene early in the movie reminds me of my family.
Raising Arizona -- Still a fun smart movie after all these years.
Moonstruck -- Great writing with good actors.
Witness -- The photography, the story line. . . Harrison Ford singing and dancing to "What a Wonderful World This Would Be."

Pulp Fiction -- I saw this as a Christian parable. My sis can quote lines from this and other films of Q. Tarrantino.
Pride and Prejudice -- Just as good as the book.
Gatsby -- In many ways better than the book. The music by Jay-Z is superb.
The Notebook -- Yes. I admit to being a Ryan Gosling fan.

I liked Brokeback Mountain too.
I watched it on television years after it hit the theaters.
It has the devastating loneliness of writer Annie Proulx's other movie,
The Shipping News except that The Shipping News ends with some happiness.

I liked Any Given Sunday, especially for Al Pacino's lines like these
"On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is - can you win or lose like a man?"
and
"You find out that life is just a game of inches. . . .The inches we need are everywhere around us."



I went over my five. Sorry about that.
