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".

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

The Core - completely ridiculous and I've watched it a dozen times and will do so again.

The Fifth Element has it all, ancient aliens, action, comedy, off-world space, high-tech weapons, etc. Good for the whole family!

Josie and the Pussycats, of course!

Also, Ruthless People if only for the sets and Bill Pullman's part...and Bruce's song, as well.

(Someone listed Tender Mercies; a SUPERB film from every variable important in film making.)

@mwatsme There is BRIEF NUDITY in that film!!!  Your family will be incensed, shocked, and apoplectic, no doubt!

Nice to see that some members share my taste for off-beat foreign dramas! I can highly recommend these mostly esoteric ones:

Western – Directed by Valeska Grisebach

A Separation – Asghar Farhadi

In the Fog – Sergei Loznitsa

Broken Circle Breakdown – Felix van Groeningen

The Kid With a Bike – (or any film by) the Dardenne Brothers

Couscous – Abdellatif Kechiche

Man on Wire – James Marsh

The Lives of Others – Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
