Moot Thoughts & Musings

Well, my question of the day turned out to be rather fruitful. I'm in the process of spicing up Netflix, so I'll add some to the queue.

Out of the suggestions,
These are the ones I have seen:

• Amelie--yea, it's a given. love it! that's one I own.
  
• Kolya--involves a cellist and a little boy. I saw this with you, Charity. I don't remember much. It's on the queue for a rewatch.
  
• Il Postino
  
• Ponette
  
• Babette's Feast--love food movies!
  
• Mostly Martha--ditto!
  
• Life is Beautiful
  

These are the ones I have not seen:

• Spirited Away
  
• The Motorcycle Diaries
  
• Y Tu Mama Tambien
  
• All About My Mother
  
• Central Station
  
• Nowhere in Africa
  
• Triplets of Belleville
  
• Zelary
  
• Monsoon Wedding
  
• A Very Long Engagement
  
• Spicegirls Nausicaa
  
• Jean De Florette & Mannon of the Spring
  

Might I suggest a few more?
Das Boot, German (1981) This is a a submarine movie. It is astounding. One of the most suspenseful dramas I've ever seen. One thing that is really interesting is that they're filmin in the dimensions of the submarine...not a set with extra room for cameras, so you really get the sense of the claustrophobia that is so essential in submarine movies. (Yea, I've seen a lot of submarine movies. It's one of Chris's favorite genres.)

L'Auberge espagnol, French (2002) If you've ever studied abroad, you'll love this, because it captures the indescribable experience that it is. The journey from fear and loneliness in a strange country to your becoming a new person in it.

Les Choristes, French (2004) A new prefect joins a boys' reformatory school and channels their energy into a choir. I really liked the music...it's still in my head.

Well, I was goign to list a whole bunch, but the boy is waking up. If you want any more ideas, let me know.

later
I'll just list the following few: Afterlife, japanese (1998); Le gout des autres (The Taste of Others), French (2000); Lola rennt (Run, Lola, Run), German (1998); A bout de souffle (Breathless), French (1960); Les parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg), French (1964) this is the next one I'd like to own.

Ok, since we all don't have anything better to do in the heat. Watch some movies!
