Recent movies? Not many and I think some modern animation movies are more entertaining than most modern live action movies. For instance I recently watched and liked Inside Out, Zootopia, Kubo and the Two Strings, When the Wind Rises and others.
My current passion though: Buying screwball comedies (either on DVD, BluRay or iTunes) I hadn't watched before.
Most recently watched:
- A Foreign Affair (with Jean Arthur, Marlene Dietrich and some guy nobody has ever heard of)
- It Happened One Night (Claudette Colbert, Clark Gable)
- The Awful Truth (Jean Arthur, Cary Grant)
- You Can’t Take It with You (Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Lionel Barrymore)
- Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Carole Lombard, Robert Montgomery)
- The Bride Came C.O.D. (Bette Davis, James Cagney => I never knew they had made a film together)
Liked them all. Those were the days when they wrote good screenplays for leading ladies.
Jean Arthur is my new darling.
A Foreign Affair was the most surprising discovery, great and bittersweet Billy Wilder comedy set in post-war Berlin, almost as good as One Two Three. Wilder and his companions really were outstanding screenplay writers.
