All worthy films...and I'll add one more...Who's Killing The Great Chefs of Europe

Posted by Harmonia on August 4, 2009 at 16:02:02:
As someone whose best friend had a father who was a French chef and owned a locally famous restaurant, I always found this film charming. If you like Bedazzled and The Wrong Box, you should look for it.
I've always had a soft spot for The Wrong Box - along with its score - but few have seen it. TWB also features a very young and handsome Michael Caine. Bedazzled, of course, is a classic.
I was lucky enough to see Peter Cook and Dudley Moore live on stage in one of their touring shows: "Good Evening". They were side splittingly hilarious. I laughed til I hurt.
The Quiet American got generally favorable ift somewhat mixed reviews when it came out, yet it is among my favorite adpatations of Graham Greene, featuring yet another wonderful performance from Michael Caine
Local Hero is one of those small films that often pops up on people'
s fave lists.
Sayles is one of the only true independent filmmakers in the US. I have seen all his films, and I think Lone Star is a masterpiece. I'm also very fond of Matewan and Eight Men Out (not least because I'm IN EMO).
Malle's Atlantic City is another masterpiece, another great turn by Lancaster. I think only someone very wise could have made this film.
