Proposed additions to this list are welcome. (see above.)
I love Abre los ojos! And Donny Darko. I also love Vanilla Sky, so I guess I'm easy. I'd also recommend, in la espanol movies, Y Tu Mama Tambien (mostly for the star, whose name escapes me, but who is also in Bad Education and Motorcycle Diaries, both of which are on my list. And Amores Perros.) If I think of any others, I'll let you know. Summer is for movies!
ReplyDeleteGael Garcia Bernal, isn't it? I loved Y Tu Mama Tambien--loved loved loved it. I'm adding Bad Education to my list, as I missed it when it was in the theatres.Yay for summer, yay for movies!
ReplyDeletemust read and see I Capture the Castle (book by Dodie Smith, perfect for the beach/cabin) and movie with Bill Nighy.
