I am watching an all-time favorite, 1985's Desert Hearts, starring the lovely Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau. It's one of the few mainstream movies that feature lesbians. It takes place in the late '50s and you really feel like you are there with them. The kiss in the rain was incredible, but the kiss in the hotel blew my mind!
Meddle Not In The Affairs of Dragons, for we are Crunchy and Good with Ketchup!
I actually remember when that came out because a reviewer I followed at the time did a good piece on it, though I didn't see it until many years later. It didn't blow me away or anything, but the acting was pretty good which is what you need in a movie like that I think. Shave and Charbonneau definitely worked well together.
My favorite movies actually tend to change over time, but there are a few that remain at the top. Casablanca is the most consistent favorite, as in is the one that I am most likely to cite in a thread like this. It's one of those movies that just comes together. The cast, script, direction, mood, music, just all fit together to make a whole that is more than the sum of its parts.
Another is Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It's a fantasy version of a first contact movie, big, visually beautiful, but still managed to have a compelling human story about those affected by the alien encounters leading up to the big event.
I have so many favorites, but I keep coming back to Blade Runner. It's visually stunning, the Vangelis filmscore is incredible, and Roy Batty is one of the best characters ever created... it's high art!
"As Good as It Gets". Jack Nicholson is a repulsive bigot with comments like "Don't worry, you'll be back on your knees in no time." He shows he actually has some redeeming features with one of the best compliments the world has ever heard. The best part of the film, though, is Helen Hunt's breasts.
The Warmest Colour is Blue. It's a beautiful love story, without an apparently happy ending, but then the viewer is left wondering will they meet again, or have they truly gone their separate ways,
In the world's harsh wear and tear many a very sincere attachment is slowly obliterated.
