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 is a classic.
The QUiet America got generally favorable but mixed reviews, yet it is among my favorite adpatations of Graham Greene, and it features a wonderful performance by Caine (again).
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.
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).
Atlantic City is another masterpiece, another great perfromance from lancaster. I think only someone very wise could have made this film.
