And the Oscar goes to.......Parasite, the movie I recommended to you a few months. ago.

I can't remember other movies to win both Palme D'or and the Oscar.

neat film gadji, thanks for the recommendation!

Hmm, I try to pick one that might say somerhing. I do it from curiosity, I don't go knowing from the start I'd like it. Some of them talk about things that I dislike but it's not an impediment, all I want from a movies is to feel some emotion!

Had thoughts of renting The Legion through my TV's On Demand service - about the only way to watch a current movie now. It's about a Roman legion that's in trouble in what's now Armenia during Nero's reign. But when I saw that Mickey Rourke was in it, I figured that it MUST suck. Now that I look at the reviews, sure enough, it appears that it does suck. Guess I'll pass.

The last good Roman movie I saw was The Eagle, with Channing Tatum. The last great one was Risen - that one was amazing.

Oh I want to share my favorite snack that I love eating during the film. I make it with my best microwave oven on mykitchenadvisor.com. I make popcorn in it and then melt the cheese on it. It turns out simply divine.

For movie lovers, those who needn't snacks and popcorn to enjoy a good movie, I recommend Viridiana by Luis Bunuel. Palme d'or 1961, it was forbidden in Spain until 1977.

A classic.
What a young Paco Rabal... have you also seen the Santos Inocentes ?

[gadjo_dilo]

No. I heared about the good old spanish movies but I had the chance to watch but a few.
Unfortunately, as a kid my mom and aunt used to take me only to movies featuring Sarita snd Raphael.
But I see that this Cervantes Institute in Bucharest organized this programme " Clasicos contigo" and I'd like to follow it. I simply love old movies.

Cool! A boy meets a girl in a club and does anything to seduce her because she's reticent. After he did it, things change radically.

. have you also seen the Santos Inocentes ?

I watched it this morning. Great movie but painful to watch.
(Says the one who is a tough girl and is generally able to watch anything on a screen).

Another weekend, another great old Spanish movie: El Sur ( The South ) by Victor Erice.

And another movie I can relate emotionally to. Extremely beautiful but heartbreakingly to watch.
Because I have my own `South`, a place I dream of but that I can`t visit.
And I also can relate to the father's tragedy, namely living a private life of impossible dreams and hiding a deep unhappiness.

Although I know that almost nobody reads this thread or is interested in such type of cinema I still post the link to this movie: https://ccesv.org/evento/clasicos-contigo-el-sur/
