Blue Crush (2002): A good advert for the sport is highlighted by the excellent photography of the rolling waves.
Marry Me (2022): If the screenplay requires a lot of nose to nose contact you would think it only fair that the leading lady should have a say in the casting of her dueling partner.
Nanook of the North (1922): It probably influenced later documentary makers. I now know how to build an igloo.
Now, Voyager (1942): For non–romantics, the screenplay may not be that interesting but it is worthwhile because of the quality of the casting. The scenes between Bette and her mum were the best for me.
Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954): Although a melodramatic Jay Robinson puts some life into proceedings (as well as taking lives out) screenplays of this ilk really do need Peter Ustinov.
Foolish Wives (1922): The screenplay is a bit sluggish in parts but there is some excellent location shooting and Erich von S playing a great cad.
Jackboots on Whitehall (2010): The puppetry was very well done and the alternative history was entertaining.
Urban Cowboy (1980): An average screenplay but one which at least has a fresh angle. Glenn's character represents the male pig but there is some compensation to be found on the female side in Debra Winger early in her career. A terrific soundtrack anchors the proceedings.; DVD $24.95
Drive My Car (2021): It sparks into life every 100 km or so.; DVD $29.95
Mania (The Flesh and the Fiends) (1959): The screenplay is solidly written and doesn't get sidetracked (other than to go off into side streets and alleys for nefarious purposes). Donald P's performance is memorable.
