Michel Gondry recommended Groundhog Day (1993) in Movies (curated)

 
Groundhog Day (1993)
Groundhog Day (1993)
1993 | Comedy, Fantasy, Romance

"I would say Groundhog Day. It’s an amazing concept, but that can apply to everyday life, on the river of life. Many times, you say, you wake up and you have the same day. It’s a great concept that leads to a lot of sentiment and humor. And of course, Bill Murray is genius."

Huh

I wasn't all that impressed with this. From all the 5 star reviews I was expecting it to be amazing, but I found it really rather dull and clunky. It wasn't a smooth read for me and I can't say any of the characters grew on me.

I won't be continuing the series.

"The track that I'm obsessed with at the moment is a song called 'Blue and Yellow Light' by The Duke Spirit. I never really heard much of The Duke Spirit that's really done it for me before, but this new song's amazing. I'm really excited about the album which is out that's called KIN."

Wolf Gang recommended Amadeus (1984) in Movies (curated)

 
Amadeus (1984)
Amadeus (1984)
1984 | Drama, History, Musical

"It’s a brilliant film about Mozart. If you don’t really know much about classical music, you hear the songs but you don’t think about the people behind them. This film turned that concept on its head, and turned him into this licentious part animal. The actor’s got this amazing high-pitched laugh that’s so funny.”"

"Just the performances of Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo are just amazing. I loved that movie. It’s such a simple, quiet story, but it’s just so good. The characters were so good. The performances were so good. If I threw a sixth one in there, it’d be the original Willy Wonka. Gene Wilder is brilliant."

Book Favorite

"Okay, yeah, I did play Birdy in the film directed by the always amazing Sir Alan Parker. If you saw the movie, you should read the book. The hypnotic magic of Wharton’s prose is pure poetry. After you read the book, watch, or re-watch the film and see how right we actually got it."

Movie Favorite

"This is a hugely underrated film, probably because it is so long and, coming so soon after the war, it got almost no distribution here. But it’s my second favorite Powell film, because he really gets under the skin of the government that ran England. Of course, it’s all about Churchill. An amazing film."

1975 | Drama, Horror, War

"This coming-of-age tale is near and dear to me, since my brother and I were featured extras in it while on a family trip to Italy. Our parts were cut in the end, and being toddlers we didn’t remember much, but it seemed like fun at the time and craft services was amazing."

I was mesmerised by this film. I have watched it and rewatched it and am always engrossed. Patricia Arquette is amazing and I personally find her captivating. Gabriel Byrne is also incredible. The story line is interesting and the way it is written makes it believable. This film is in my all time Top Five.
