Watched Moonstruck again after some years.

It's just as funny and poignant as the first time I saw it. Recommended.

It's funny how 'comedy of errors' films that have a wedding as a central plot element work out so well. And so often. I guess it's because weddings are intrinsically funny. And they tend to bring out the best and worst in us. Perfect stories for a movie.

Other good 'uns are:

Four Weddings and a Funeral (even if putting Andie McDowell in a lead role was a huge mistake IMHO)

Movies you've seen lately

The Wedding Date (with the utterly charming Debra Messing - a redhead connoisseur’s redhead if there ever was one!)

Movies you've seen lately


My Big Fat Greek Wedding  (Nia Vardalos's brilliant screenplay and performance  made this one a classic that spawned many imitators.)

Movies you've seen lately

Wedding Crashers (Owen Wilson, Vince Vaugn, and Christopher Walken in one film! You know it's gonna be good.)


There are many more. But these will do for a start. :Thmbsup:

Just after seeing an older film by Danish director Suzanne Bier.
After the Wedding (2006)
I saw it without knowing anything about the story beforehand, and think even the short summary on IMDB is TMI.
Critical of some aspects, but I think it's a very good film.

I've seen a few of her films now over the years: they're always thought provoking - without getting stuck in the intellectual; you usually dont have a clue how they're going to work out, and often emotionally intense. This one had a similar general topic to a couple others I've seen - man comes back from time in a third world country - doctor (In a Better World), army (Brothers), ngo (this one just seen) and while struggling with that culture shock, gets involved in / confronted with [insert story here :p]
(Both those other linked films highly recommended as well.)


FWIW I see she's made a film in English lately, Serena, which doesnt get good reviews...

My primary concern was that it would be too raunchy/inappropriate. -Deozaan (January 24, 2015, 03:11 PM)

Are we getting old? :)

I have no problems with cursing and a lot of other things, but I no longer need to see any gore - at all. I used to "kind of" like gore flicks, but not at all anymore.

As for sex in movies, I hate it. If it's actually a very real plot device, and done carefully, it can work, but that's exceedingly rare. I think I like the Jackie Chan level of sex in movies, i.e. possibly a peck on the cheek. With lots of free porn available, there's no reason to have it in movies at all. (Well, unless you're a 14-year old boy, but then there's still National Geographic and the Sears catalogue. :P )

So... yeah... I get that "too raunchy/inappropriate" bit. There are movies that I simply never watch because I know that they're going to have a lot of that, and I'm just not interested in it.

I don't recall if there was much of that in Guardians of the Galaxy though.

There wasn't any, to my recollection.  There was one time that Star Lord and Gamorra almost had a moment.  But ... almost.  And the girl he forgot.  But nothing else.
