Still remember the Spanish version of "Married... With Children". I wish I didn't.

The Russian version was actually fairly well done.

See the Russian version of Its Always Sunny in Philidelphia.

I think this was among her best sketch:

I really liked Prometheus. It was a good setup....which was then fluffed.

What the hell is wrong with you people. It was terrible from start to finish.

Roman Holiday (1953)

It's been a long time since I've seen this.  I didn't realize how similar the plot was to "It Happened One Night" (1934) when I first saw it, nor did I notice that the Gregory Peck role had obviously been written for Cary Grant.

Some of the movie stretches the boundaries of credibility; (like the part when Audrey Hepburn gets dragged to court in Rome for reckless driving ) but it's still a lot of fun and a great document of the city in the early 50s.

A film new to me:

'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' - sterling work by all concerned.

Getting into horror flicks lately.
Saw The Barbarian...which started off as a good gothic style haunted house and then veered off for a bit in the middle, before picking back up. Worth it. 4 Stars

Saw The Sinners. Slow burn. Not even horror until the last third or so, but worth the payoff. Also 4 stars.

Any recommendations for recent (post 2020) horror flicks?

Such a great film. My favourite of the Powell & Pressburger films, though Red Shoes runs it quite close.

I think possibly the greatest British film ever made.

Yes I think I'll have a bit of a Powell and Pressburger binge over the next few weeks.

As Shelf said, it's a contender, but I can't comment as I've not watched nearly enough British films.

Though I love the recent 'Mr. Burton' 'biopic'.

A Matter of Life and Death is my favorite Powell/Pressburger. But I've always had a huge soft spot for "afterlife as a bureaucracy" type stories. And it's just wonderful.

Much as I love it, I don't think it beats Kind Hearts & Coronets.

Always love a film that unleashes Alec Guiness with sheer abandon.

Relatedly, the greatest British film to me is Lawrence of Arabia or, staying with David Lean, Brief Encounter.

Hey Savonarola, did you catch the rerelease of Hard Boiled in cinemas in your heck of woods?
It's been around here since August 27th and it's a thing of beauty. 4K restoration, with an Ultra HD / 4K disc release following soon.
