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".

Real good one @r_f_sayles. Wings Of Desire is, amongst other things, one of the most beautiful looking films ever made, breathtakingly so.

The Black & White cinematography in the Coen Brothers The Man Who Wasn't There (starring Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini, and Scarlett Johansson) is the best I've ever seen: deep, deep black, and shimmering, almost iridescently-silver white.

You guys are really coming up with the stuff. Wings of Desire!  Ran!  Treasure of the Sierra Madre!  Anything by the Coen Brothers.

A Serious Man is perhaps the most overlooked Coen Brothers films. I wouldn't have understood it nearly as well if I hadn't had a Jewish girlfriend. It is like no other movie you have sever seen, which is true of all theirs.

About Time: fantastic soundtrack but not a "serious" flick just a nice RomCom

Contact: Book was better of course but I like the movie too
