Classics. I'm cheating this week by
recommending two classics from the 70s instead of giving more of a
variety. The first is Hal Ashby's 1971 "Harold & Maude." I have only
just recently watched this for the first time. It was great and really captures interesting features of the time. I won't ruin who dies. Soundtrack by Cat Stevens! It's only on Netflix Instant for one more week!
The second is Roman Polanski's 1974 neo-noir "Chinatown." I must say
that this is a very complex movie. I had to watch a few times to fully
appreciate all the details of the plot and mystery. Well, or maybe I
just got older as I watched it again and again. The cinematography is
very enjoyable. Jack Nicholson, as usual, is perfect. (Speaking of Jack
Nicholson, everyone should give "The Shining" a recent viewing as the
documentary on it "Room 237" is coming soon!) It's only on Netflix
Instant for one more week! Look for the Roman Polanski cameo!
