I also like TEA WITH MUSSOLINI although I only saw it once. I actually saw this movie in the theater in 1999 with my mother and grandmother. They both loved it. I'm looking forward to watching it again to see what the adult me will think about it. I remember thinking how wonderful Cher was in her ro...

I was glad that Eddie pointed out the homosexual implications of the Elisha Cook, Jr./Lawrence Tierney relationship. Their little apartment has one bed. Elisha is reading on his side of the bed when Tierney enters the room after committing two murders and then goes to sit down on his side of the be...

No AMERICAN PIE ? No CRUEL INTENTIONS ? No SHE'S ALL THAT ??? Those are the movies that define 1999 cinematically, for me anyway. As a teenager in the 90s I used to watch She's All That and Cruel Intentions all the time. 10 Things I Hate about You was another great teen movie from 1999. I never rea...

Holden, time for a new clue, thanks Thanks, Kay, for reminding me. New hint: The movie is in color.

John Garfield was sensationally understated, he was there to be Harry Morgan and without any frills or excessive show. Garfield, despite his already successful career, was just getting started. Woe to the world that he should pass so untimely early. I think he was Tennessee Williams's original choi...

The movie choices that Criterion made for their 1999 collection are odd to say the least. I do like their description of the year as the "premillennial, pre-smartphone, dial-up moment just before the world as we knew it seemed to change forever," but . . . No AMERICAN PIE ? No CRUEL INTEN...

Nicolas Roeg’s DON’T LOOK NOW is streaming in May as part of a "Set in Venice" collection!

The sweetie and I have wanted to see this one for a long time.
It features one of my all-time favorites Julie Christie.

I'm very excited to see this one for the first time.

Let's see. I was too young to have seen it at the time, but I felt that way when I caught up with American Beauty. I am totally with you on AMERICAN BEAUTY. I didn't see it when it was in theaters, but when I did see it, I was like YUCK! I gave the movie a half star on Letterboxd. Good for you for ...

Happy Birthday to


Proud to say that we both graduated from the same high school.
Go Trevians!

I own a copy of TOOTSIE, but I couldn't resist watching a few favorite moments when I saw it was available on Watch TCM. I never tire of this one! I've never been one to comment on who *should* have won an Oscar (these awards are based on votes from Academy members so whoever received the most votes...
