Movies to watch during lockdown?

[SpringsCuse]

I mentioned To Catch a Thief, but that's probably not recognized by everyone as a Hitch movie.

That's a more lighthearted Hitchcock. along the lines of The Trouble with Harry.

Certainly isn't dark or threatening. But, definitely the most beautiful of his films. Can't get better than Cary Grant and Grace Kelly on the French Riviera.
I see no connection with The Trouble with Harry!

love it. I guess I love any movie with Jimmy Stewart in it. And throw in Cary Grant (see Charade above) and you can guess I like it.

To show my age I am going to throw a couple of movies almost no one other than me has heard of but that I love from back when. the first is a movie called fate is the Hunter. It is about the investigation of a airplane crash. Glenn Ford stars. The second is Mirage with Gregory peck. If you are ever up at 2 a.m. and can't sleep, they might be on. Really liked both.

Which version?

Referring to High Society?
I was such a Grant/Hepburn/Stewart fan for so long, so intensely, i just refused to even consider a different version of that film. Add to it that i don't like Sinatra or musicals, and it couldn't even overcome having Grace Kelly in it. Then, i had a Derp Epiphany some years ago—that, 'Hey Stupid, they're not making any more old/classic movies.' So, i got over it, watched it, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wes Anderson is my spirit animal.
I got to see him introduce/speak in a panel at a premier of Grand Budapest Hotel. That was something.

Excellent family movies and surprisingly the third in the series is excellent.

Just watched the Fab Five 30 for 30 on ESPN. Now the Loyola Marymount one is coming on! Haven’t seen these since they first aired. Classic material!

The 30 for 30 shows are all good. My favorite is Requiem for the Big East...not sure why.

Same! I bet that one is coming at some point. The Len Bias one is on next at 10. Seems like they’re showing all the college hoop ones.

I love the third. It's hilarious.

I'm impressed. Are you a cost accountant?

Don't forget Grindhouse: Death Proof.

one of the rare kr films i don't like. tedious, slow pace, typical tarantino too in love with his own (ponderous) dialogue
