Didn’t realise it’s an old thread bumped! I’ve never seen the first one let alone the second one.

La Vita è Bella should have won Best Picture in 1999. Astounding performance from Roberto Begnini and probably the second best Holocaust film out there. Impressive/unsurprising that the Academy picked one of the worst films to ever be nominated (Shakespeare In Love) over the likes of this and the mildly schlocky but otherwise overwhelmingly marvellous Saving Private Ryan.

"Les Diabolique" A fabulous film that Hitchcock just about missed out on.
That is one of many films that I enjoy.

"Sunset Blvd" and "Double Indemnity" (Both by Billy Wilder) are super.

Give me the cinema over the T V any day.

Wonder Women 1984 whilst not the best film ever, it is very good and well worth watching.

midnight sky on Netflix - a George Clooney vehicle, looked good but was really boring. Like a poundshop Gravity. Don’t bother.

First one my favourite of all time. Nicholson a class Actor. All the supporting actors just superb. Scatman Crothers who played Mr .Turkle went on to play another part in The Shining with Jack Nicholson and many other films.

Scatman also made this song famous.

I watched Thelma And Louise for the first time on Friday night, it was okay I suppose. More for the Americans than others perhaps?

I was a bit disappointed with it. I thought the concept was amazing, but the movie didn't utilise it to the best it could have

It’s a Wonderful Life. No idea how I’d never seen it before, simply beautiful.

"Awakening"..(Robin Williams) I saw it for the first time just a few days ago...It was excellent and based on a true story.

"Good Will Hunting" (Robin Williams) is another super film of his.
