The Four Seasons (1981)
A Classic I'll rewatch anytime it's on
Just a really great movie- Alan Alda absolutely nails it and Carol Burnett & Rita Moreno are perfection. Sandy Dennis keeps it from being a perfect 10 for me, but I'll never not enjoy the movie because of her - she's just not easy for me to watch
Airport (1970)
Hasn't lost ANY of its edge - STILL sets the standard
I don't care how much has changed with technology - this movie will always be a gut wrenching guilty pleasure. Enough people have posted the plot and the spoilers, so let me just say this: I loved this movie the first time I saw it and I love it just as much today. And if it's on - I'll watch it again and again.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)
Watch it over and over
I'll admit I wasn't as excited about any part that Cher wasn't in. But through the magic of ABBA and the truly special songs -I find myself rewatching this movie and falling more and more in love each and every time. Now I even prefer the casts' versions. I've gotten over my preconceived wants and have come to love this movie just the way it is. I still fast forward to Cher a lot, but I also still watch the whole thing.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Just incredible
I was literally high for a week after watching this movie. If there were any negatives, they certainly aren't worth mentioning. Nothing could take away the pure enjoyment and for me - it was just that great.
Book Club (2018)
Fun & Fluffy
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not heavy or deep. It's predictable and I still laughed out loud. And that's not a bad thing. Just sit back and enjoy.
The Fall (2013)
Left me breathless
I feel bad for the viewers that didn't appreciate this series. I might be a little prejudiced but since seeing every episode of Xfiles & everything Gillian Anderson has done, I remain completely enthralled with her ability to portray a character with the depth she does. I was very impressed with Jamie Dorman as well.
Look - this series isn't like what Americans are used to. It isn't bright & shiny, every character doesn't look like they came from Central Casting and THAT is why you should give it a chance. It's raw, and dark and if you let it - it will suck you in. It feels so much more REAL
So it is very procedural and there's a lot of talking but it can take you places that pictures or actions might not. You might not like all details but that's closer to real. Let the power of your own mind and imagination and the brilliance of Gillian & Jamie transport you.
I compare this to the works of Stephen King - whose written words can scare me deeper and longer than any of his movies. His books are extremely detail oriented but that's what draws you in. You feel there. His characters don't just eat dinner. They have freshly caught catfish, with tender golden French fries with a tall glass of iced tea with a splash of lemon.
Give me details and procedures- and then the drama with have so much more.
The end left me breathless and watching Gillian Anderson will never disappoint me
