15177 days since birth and the lockdown era urges.
We are swamped with opportunities to look at themes we love.
Obviously as a cinema goer I enjoy movies. I usually watch the same type of films.
These are my favourite 15 films. The rule is that the film must have been released between 1978 and 2020. This means that I cannot include Vertigo (1958) from Hitchcock.
Do not take this for granted. I am sure I forgot many movies I used to love.
Some are to die for. Some are just unforgettable. Some are just transient reminders of recently re-watched movies during this unprecedented lockdown era.
I am not sure of the order of preference. Number 1 remains gold dust though...
1 The Life of Others [I would watch it every day and I would cry at least twice. Obviously the Stasi one, because there are various movies with this title]
2 I Daniel Blake [sublime social tale by Ken Loach]
3 Far and Away [my first discovery of links between Ireland and the USA]
4 Brooklyn [souvenir of Far and Away, falling in love with Saoirse]
5 La Historia Oficial [Las locas de Mayo en Argentina]
6 Dead Poets Society [Epicure et professeurs illustres]
7 Dans la maison [One of Ozon's masterpieces]
8 Rogue Trader [San Sebastian festival experience]
9 Intouchables [just beautiful and heart-warming]
10 Vitta e Bella [Obviously the Guido story, because there could be earlier movies with the same title, Could have been replaced by Au Revoir Les Enfants by Malle]
11 ET [There are moments that I do not like during the movie. However, simply life-changing for emotive kids. I still refer to a couple of quotes.]
12 Paddington 2 [Debatable if Paddington I is better?]
13 Etre et avoir [so sweet if you like children education]
14 The truth about romance [what a gem for romantic anoraks]
15 The fault in your stars [I think I never cried so much and it is vital to understand others when they suffer etc and how to support them]
