You should probably see Amelie - another film with slightly magic realist overtones to it.

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Yes, it stars Mr Bean.

I was gacking on sugary-sweet overload towards the end, but more on a matter of principle than anything else. It's not a bad yarn.

Although the fact they've missed out Bringing Up Baby is making me rather angry.

How can you have avoided seeing The Great Escape?!

Did you not see Lola rennt with me?

[biog.livejournal.com]

Surprised at just how many of the list I've seen, I'd also recommend Amelie. Not as many 'classics' as modern films on the list though. Oh yes, and 'bent' is a very good film indeed.

It's an odd list

For pure female evil, I recommend All About Eve. It was delicious!

Vertigo screwed with my head very effectively. It's also beautiful, a love song to the most beautiful city in America.

I don't recommend Amelie - it was too light, pretty but completely forgettable. Why, though, do people still recommend Lawrence of Arabia? The acting in it is just plain bad.

Get well soon (and spikeylady too). I'm not going to start gloating about being reasonably well cos else I'll end up a poorly bunny too...

BTW I've just got round to getting off my fat arse and LJ friending you.
