You did not say in what language, right? ;)
I did not! Any language and you have made me think of a French movie or two I should have included: C.R.A.Z.Y and Elvis Gratton are two very different filmns and both highly memorable. Oh and then there's Bon Cop Bad Cop which is bilingual!

When Harry Met Sally
Pixote! I remember when they showed that at school I had to walk out. Tough, tough movie.
ReplyDeleteI like how we are all juxtaposting that kind of movie with others like When Harry Met Sally. And I LOVED 6 Degrees. I fell in love with Stockard Channing when I saw her in Grease and have never stopped.
I felt physically ill while watching Pixote. I can't remember much about the plot, but the feeling stuck with me.
ReplyDeleteI felt physically ill watching Withnail and I, but that was my own fault for trying to keep up with Withnail's drinking....
