Lot of good ones. As a guy that used to work at Blockbuster, I can appreciate anybody that goes for breadth because a lot of people only stan for bland popular leanings, or niche ruts that they plow continually ... so the breadth here, like it.
And as a guy that was in high school around the time Maverick ... um, Old? =)
I suppose my "doth protest too much" probably brands me as officially old, so, yeah, I'm tellin' on myself.
It is hard to imagine that Goodfellas is now 30, and could be my bastard child out there somewhere ...
Stuff, I can second from gems list:
Rear Window
Goodfellas
Nightcrawler
Aliens
3:10 to Yuma
Pride and Prejudice (BBC series)
A lot of good Russian stuff--haven't seen most of it, but I can appreciate the territory. Will have to check it all out.
I could go on for ever and life is too short for everybody to endure that, but I'll just rep some seldom seen Filipino stuff off the top of my head (with help on dates):
Manila in the Claws of Light (1975) - arguably THE Filipino film classic, based on a novel about movement from the province to the big city
Norte, the End of History (2013) - marathon length but Dostoyevskian in scope and depth of psychological treatment, a story of murder, culpability, redemption
Mothererland (2017) - a doc about Manila General Hospital, one of the busiest maternity wards in a very busy city (the densest urban center in the world)
On the Job (2013) - a nice crime thriller period
Metro Manila (2013) - another story of the rural-urban story, as well as a solid crime story though perhaps the least interesting of all the above
oh, Ramona Diaz, the filmmaker that made Motherland, also made a few others that are probably available one way or another on the interwebs:
The Learning (2011) - about Filipino OFW--overseas foreign worker--teachers working in Baltimore
Don't Stop Believin' (2012) - about the Journey frontman these days, a talented Filipino dude who pretty seamlessly took over in the post-Perry era
Two by her that I haven't seen but can't wait to see:
Imelda (2003) - about ... who else?
A Thousand Cuts (2020) - will be airing on POV in early 2021, I think--about the Rappler editor in chief, Rappler being a Filipino website aiming to provide balanced news in a media environment dominated by oligarch-y interests
oo, cge, tama.
But divorce is like a fever it burns and hurts yet it will pass. I ended up giving up drinking and when I walked I gave up smoking a pack daily of Benson and hedges. Only smoke weed. So the divorce saved my life. The ex has now cpd or some lung chit. I traveled the world with hot women and made love to over 500 women. those that I remember. Danced every Friday under an Italian sky at a club aqueduct in Rome with young women had massive sex parties at hard rock cafe. The employees after closing just let it rip in the restaurant even cops joined in hahah freaking Italians love screwing all the time. Was banned from Paris for 72 hours ahaha thats gonna be a good post later haha omg the chit I did. Americans are a crazy lot when we travel. Lost all my teeth bar and street fighting all over the world and have the most modern dentures in the universe. I even get cable tv on them hahaha.
