I like movies. Don't care much for films.

The Right Stuff (1983)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086197/
great movie about the beginnings of the American space program (mainly the Project Mercury). 3.5 hours in lenth, but is so well made that it does not bore and one learns a lot of new stuff. Has a great soundtrack from Bill Conti too

Theory of Obscurity: A Film About the Residents (2015)
Directed by: Don Hardy Jr.
Cromwell (1970)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065593/
a historic film about the English civil war. Quite good, especially the costumes and acting of the two protagonists (Cromwell and the English king). Cromwell was painted very positively here, but from what I read he is rather a controversion figure.
had a good sountrack as well

I've watched four films recently,
"My Old Lady", with Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Kevin Kline, written & directed by American playwright Israel Horovitz. I'd say the script is the finest, most profound writing I've seen from Horovitz to date. & the acting is genius--especially from Dame Maggie (as usual). The critics didn't understand this film. It's brilliant, IMO. The Mosaic covenant in the flesh. Were they expecting a comedy?
On a lighter note, I then watched "The Very Thought of You", a romantic English comedy set in London, starring Monica Potter, Joseph Fiennes, Rupert Sewell, Ray Winstone, and Tom Hollander. Not a great film, but reasonably entertaining, & the actors were all funny & charming. Just the sort of 2nd rate fluff I like to watch occasionally...
Then, onto another comedy-- "While you Were Sleeping", starring Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman, Jack Warden, and Peter Gallagher. A very good romantic comedy, set in the Windy City, with more than a few laughs.
Finally, I watched Michael Radford's film, "B. Monkey", starring Asia Argento, Jared Harris, Rupert Everett, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I liked this 'off the radar' film. Good script, & well acted.
