Ivanhoe (1982)
I saw this when I was a kid, then as a teenager and now as an adult...it's great!
As a classic storytale it has it all. A great plot, characters you fall in love with, evil bad guys etc But the film has aged well as a drama also, I reckon now way later... The cast is excellent. Top quality actors all over the place. And Olivia Hussey in this role, breaks my heart every time. I'd say this is one of those classic films that you can watch as a kid, with your parents and their parents and you will all enjoy it (for the same or different reasons) It is a crying shame if it's not available on DVD. My VHS copy is falling apart, but I'm lucky since Swedish National Television airs Ivanhoe every Christmas....
Rachel Getting Married (2008)
A true work of art. This is among the best films of the last ten years, if you ask me...
Well, this movie is excellent in my book. Me and my girlfriend watched it with wide open eyes. Feeling happy that someone is still producing exciting dramas like this. In the same category as John Cassavettes and Robert Altman.
I could go on all day throwing superlatives about this film, but let's just say that I am so impressed and touched. The acting was brilliant. The directing and editing as well. And the casting was unpredictable and terrific. I'm sure there's no plans for a sequel, but I'd love to see one. I want to know what happened to all of the exciting and realistic characters we got to meet. I long to see this film again.
