Oh man, so many of these make my list! Brat pack movies yeahhhh!
hi Karen,
I, too, enjoyed Pecker, Gilbert Grape, Ghost World, I Heart Huckabees, Down by Law, Eternal Sunshine .....
I recommend Science of Sleep, if you haven't seen it already.
Flirting (the film) was an immediate favorite: Noah Taylor and Thandie Newton, boarding school,existenialists,tutti frutti,bullying and boxing, the debate team - sweet and smart, a must-see.
Ma Vie en Rose is very colorful and I think I enjoyed it. It was the first film I saw in London, along with The Ice Storm. I think I preferred Ma Vie..
London was great for films - I saw a film adaptation of Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen, Alice and Martin, and loads of other films there 1998-2002.
I liked This Boy's Life and The Basketball Diaries (with leo di caprio).If you like Juliette Lewis, then Husbands and Wives is worth seeing. Woody Allen's new film Vicky Christina Barcelona is also good.
A loooooooong time ago Peggy Sue was amusing. I have no idea if it still would be - a young high school rebel Nic Cage and a time-traveling Kathleen Turner.
finally I just want to thank you for keeping up such a good blog - you're a star! :->
I'm not very high-tech and completely new to blogging, haven't even filled out a proper profile yet. feel free to send ME recommendations here or on lastfm -
