My Three Favorite Movies

Day 19 Question by @dragosroua
May 30 Days Writing Challenge - Day Nineteen: Name Top 3 All-Time Favorite Movies.
Movie # One
I love movies but am not a frequent movie theater goer and don't watch that much TV. Even though, I have managed to watch quite a few movies and am going to watch one of @dragosroua's selection. I love Judi Dench!
Usually, I am not a big fan of watching the same movie several times, but this one - I have.
Let me introduce you to Amelie, a French movie that was widely popular in Germany when I went for a visit. I have since watched it with American friends and the movie making is so very different from the typical Hollywood film.
Here is the official trailer.
I don't want to tell you too much but it is coming of age story.
Movie # Two
The House of Spirits.
It has two great things going for it. The movie is based on a book written by one of my favorite author's Isabel Allende. And it stars one of my favorite actors - Meryl Streep.
Even though Meryl Streep was famous at the time of the filming, the movie only made it to some small Theaters in the US. I love the multidimensional realities in much of the Latin American writing. So much insight into the society and politics of the country.
Movie # 3
Iris
Judi Dench and Kate Winslet are playing the main character, Iris Murdoch, at different times in her life. Both are amazing actors and the story dealing with a brilliant person developing dementia. It is a story of brilliance, love, and heartache.
Now, after writing about them, I want to see all three again!!!

I think this is only the second Top 3 Favorites post I've read today that had movies I'd never heard of before, let alone seen, so congratulations on that! It's not like I know of every movie in existence, though, which I have been finding out here lately, especially with those who are from outside the U.S. I know many places have robust film industries, but I generally don't get past the ones made here. :)
Oh, you are missing out!! I feel each country has such a different way of storytelling and cinematography. And even the expectation of the ending. Usually, American movies have a definite end to it...
Oh, and another movie high on my list is Kill Bill LOL
Okay, now that last one is way out from the other movies you listed. :) And I agree, there is a definite style to movies from different countries, or at least different tendencies.
I'd say you're right. Most movies here have an end, though I'm not sure if all of them have THE END. I mean, they can leave you wanting to know more about the characters and their lives. I've sat in a few where I wondered as the credits rolled up, "Is that it?!" But then, part of that has to do with the fact a lot of movies don't know how to end, or they do it badly.
At some point I might branch out more. There's so many movies I haven't seen that made people's lists that I might have a tough time seeing all of them and watching the new ones that come out that I do want to see.
I am with you!! We need more hours in the day lol
Oh, Amelie 😍 Such a sweetness to that movie - but zero saccharine, yay!
It is!!! And I really want to watch it now... Maybe tomorrow :)
Hello, when I read your post I was pleasantly surprised that La Casa de los Espiritus is within your three favorite movies, I tell you that I read that book a few years ago, I like the style of Isabel Allende even though she has many detractors. I liked the film version, comparing it with the book, in it you can see how the themes of affection and love are handled, how the manifestations of authority and the struggle for freedom are presented, not just a regime if not also of the family environment, without leaving aside that touch of supernatural mystery. From Allende I have also read Paula and The City of Beasts.
As I see you like to see movies from other countries, if you have not seen it, I suggest you see, Like Water for Chocolate, is based on a novel by Laura Esquivel Mexican writer, is also my favorite, I hope you like it, and I'll look the other two that you mention.
Regards
I loved Water for Chocolate!!! I read the book as well!!! Yes!! another great choice!
