Every couple of weeks I am in the mood to watch a couple of movies
Here is what I recommend in late April
The French Connection
Gene Hackman is a good actor and his movies really stand the test of time. This is a classic thriller - cat and mouse and famous chase scenes set in NYC.
The French Connection II
Part 2 with Gene Hackman and the other important characters. This time set in Marseilles. Also very good.
The Conversation
Another great Gene Hackman film. He plays a PI specializing in high tech recording. Excellent even though it is set in the 70s.
La Moustache
A foreign film that won all kinds of awards. Very entertaining if you like travel, suspense, ambiguity, mid-life crisis.
Robot and Frank
In the future things are the same except we have robots to do lots of things for us. A man with some dementia setting in gets a lift from a robot caretaker and a second chance at a life of crime.
Groundhog Day
If you have never seen it a must see. Bill Murray and Andie McDowell.
Batman, Batman, Star Trek, Star trek, Star Trek...
These are on my list
Also there is a lot of Masterpiece Theater - lots and lots if you like British detective and period pieces.
