Laura:
- "Murder
by Death" by Neil Simon
This is a classic comedic whodunit, one I never get tired of watching.
Chock full of great actors and actresses having a rollicking good time.
- "The Quiet
Man"
This was a love project by all involved, starring John Wayne and Maureen
O'Hara in a lilting love story set in Innisfree, Ireland. This movie
has a very literary feel, is funny, warm, romantic, and immensely satisfying.
- "A Comedy
of Terrors"
Side-splitting Gothic tale starring Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris
Korloff, and Basil Rathbone. An undertaker in immediate need of cash
takes matters into his own hands. Some of the richest hamming ever set
to celluloid by an ensemble obviously having the time of their lives.
The fun is contagious.
- "The Lathe
of Heaven" by David Loxton
Ursula K. LeGuin's tale was brought to the screen in 1979 by Loxton.
A film so multi-layered, you'll still be peeling it and finding pith
after many viewings.
- "Dogma"
Funny, provocative, yet decidedly self-mocking, this film offers no
answers, but has wicked fun with the questions.
- "Tombstone"
Stars Kurt Russell as the avenging law-dog, Wyatt Earp and is, IMHO,
Val Kilmer's best screen performance ever as Doc Holliday. Riveting
and well constructed, it's a fine tale of conscience, perdition, and
redemption.
- "The
God of Cookery" by Stephen Chiau
One of the most superbly crafted comedies ever made, every aspect of
this film is well integrated. Chiau's timing and vision are exemplary.
See it with the subtitles for best effect. They appear to have been
translated from Chinese to Japanese and then into English, by a non-native
English speaker. The unintended hilarity of the mistranslations only
adds another layer of humor in an already lusciously funny production.
- "Fried
Green Tomatoes"
Yeah, it's a chick flick, but it's much, much more. Just see it, and
bond forever with these timeless characters.
