During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like.


please suggest films you feel are worth, actually very worthy, of watching now?  Looking for very good and intelligent films.  As far as ones that simply pass the time, that will be for another day.  I may have the most interest in any classics I may have missed.....you know, films like 'Howdy Doody, Man or Myth"...and "Sex and the Single Dentist".

Two of my favorite vintage, don't-miss movies are "Random Harvest" and "The Shop Around the Corner." Neither will change your life, but you will remember them for a long time and recommend them to others.
  • Au Lait.I shall have to look out Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors as you obviously have a great knowledge of movies. Thanks.
  • I wish to add The Lives of Others as a must-watch IMHO" In 1984 East Berlin, an agent of the secret police, conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover, finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives."
  • tonykay -Great idea, really enjoy finding recommended movies I haven't watched. As with all of us here we most probably have seen most of the above mentioned but there's always the gems that slip through the cracks.
  • dpac996- .Lilyhammer.Nice choice.The Miami Steve Van Zandt(or Little Stevie or just Steve Van Zandt, or E Street band legend) shines in what is a hilarious Tv Series set in Norway and available hopefully still on Net flix in collaboration with a Norwegian broadcaster. All 3 series are gems.

And I do have some that people will Po-Po......likely the most Po would come when I admit I like Steve McQueen films.  McQueen and Newman in the "Towering Inferno" is commercial trash....and I have watched a half dozen time...including on release.  And I can still watch Dracula, Frankenstein and others with pleasure.

Perhaps another thread on movies we like and probably shouldn't?
