HYSTERICAL BLINDNESS

Uma Thurman gives one of the most honest and heartbreaking performances ever captured on film. At times it's almost painful to watch her in this.

She was properly awarded the Golden Globe for best actress for this film.

WINGS OF DESIRE is a fantastic film!

Ah, Waking Life is quite a trip. Great movie.

"Garbo Talks", which I think would make a wonderful musical.

Anne Bancroft plays a dying mother who wants to meet Greta Garbo before she dies. Ron Silver plays her corporate cog of a son who finds himself taking crazy risks for once in his life in order to fulfill her wish.

The film has wonderful cameo scenes with Harvey Fierstein, Dorothy Louden, Howard da Silva and Roderick Cook. Betty Comden (face unseen) plays Garbo. Cy Coleman wrote the film score.

A French movie named À la folie... pas du tout (He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not (2002) (International: English title)... Nobody knows about it around here except me and it was really a very good movie. It was a concept I'd never seen before and Audrey Tautou is amazing. -Penny

PS- My favorite movie ever that is more ell known then a lot is Moulin Rouge What a beautiful film! Sorry, off topic.

THE RITZ was hystrically funny on stage. Moreno was priceless as Googie. I was able to see it numerous times. After seeing the film however it's my opinion that the film was not as good as the stage version.

Farce on film is very to accomplish. That plus general movie audiences weren't ready 25 years ago for mainstream films set in a gay bathhouse, in my opinion.

BB, I wouldn't mind seeing it again. I'm sure I'd find it funny as I remember very little of the plot, etc.

I do recall that when it opened it was a bombola, and opend on 2nd Avenue in the 60s, not a first run house.

Someone can always suggest a Ritz party.

Speaking of farce, Stanley Tucci's "The Impostors" was laugh-out-loud funny and had a fabulous cast. It's one of my favorite comedies, but it got very mixed reviews, and few people seem to have seen it. It's set in a theatrical milieu, which makes it even more interesting.

Somewhere in Time... with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.
