Plan 9 from Outer Space (1956): Can't understand all the bad ratings! It's so bad it's amazing! Love this one.
Mrs. Miniver (1942): The other Greer, Germaine, would have an apoplectic fit over the portrayal of perfect womanhood in this. However it does tackle social inequity. It's easy to see why Greer Garson won hearts with this though – were there ever more sparkly eyes than hers
Anatomy of a Murder (1959): A frustrating movie. Although brilliantly acted, the case itself seemed to be building towards a reveal that never came. Very anti–climactic. The jury should have convicted.
Pride and Prejudice (1940): Not a bad effort, but so much of the story is omitted that it left me feeling a bit cheated. Garson and Olivier are solid in the leads.
Pollyanna (1960): I loved this as a child of the 60s and still find it utterly charming. Yes, it is schmaltzy, but children's films can be forgiven that. It ends a bit abruptly though.
Lost in Paris (Paris pieds nus) (2016): Loved this – reminiscent of a Wes Anderson movie. One for the underdogs.; DVD $29.95
Touch of Evil, A (1958): DVD ~~$30~~ $20
Talk to Her (2002): Strange, beautiful film, with themes I've never seen before. Loved it.
This Is Spinal Tap (1984): Brilliant spoof – must be one of the first ever mockumentaries. I missed it when it first came out but it stands the test of time really well. Michael McKean rules!
Poseidon Adventure, The (1972): I loved this so much when I was 11 I saw it 4 times at the cinema. Absolute classic disaster movie. The Titanic of its day.
