Desmond:
My favourite six films:
"Barry Lyndon" (1975) Stanley Kubrick. Run Time 184 mins. (Long film) Starring: Ryan O'Neal, Marisa Berenson, Patrick Magee, Hardy Kruger.
Redmond Barry is a young, rogue Irishman who's determined, in any way, to make a life for himself as a wealthy nobleman. Enlisting in the British Army, fighting in the Seven Years War in Europe, Barry deserts from the British army, joins the Prussian army, gets promoted to the rank of a spy, then becomes pupil to a Chevalier and con artist/gambler. Barry then lies, dupes, duels and seduces his way up the social ladder and enters into a lustful, but loveless, marriage with a wealthy countess named Lady Lyndon, takes the name of Barry Lyndon, settles in England with wealth and power beyond his wildest dreams, then slowly falls dramatically into ruin.
"Hunt for Red October" (1990)
"A Long Way Home" (1981) (TV) Starring :Timothy Hutton, Brenda Vaccaro, Rosanna Arquette, Will Wheaton.
Many years after being abandoned by his parents, Donald sets out in search of his siblings. His biggest challenge is cutting through layers of bureaucratic red tape. He happens upon a helpful counselor who offers her assistance in locating his missing brother and sister.
"The Falcon and the Snowman" (1985) Starring: Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn
Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn play two young men from wealthy families who sell government secrets to the Russians. Based on the true story of Christopher Boyce (Hutton) and Daulton Lee (Penn), this is sometimes edgy, occasionally humorous, and ultimately heartbreaking. Boyce, whose job it is to guard top-secret government papers, becomes disillusioned with the United States and decides to make a deal with the Soviets.
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"
"Meet Joe Black" (1998) Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins,
Gawd,,,,,I din't think there is a happy film among them.
