I totally forgot about Jack Palance as the romantic painter in Bagdad Cafe. Oh, that was well done. I wonder what else I've forgotten from that wonderful show? Hey, how about Roberto Benigni's Il Mostro (The monster) Fabulous. Very funny. Subtitled. (first two minutes are decieving -- this is NOT a slasher film, but rather a film about a sweet guy who's mistaken for a slasher) or The Party, with Peter Sellers? The Accidental Tourist is good, both sad and funny. If Lisa Manelli and Dudley Moore don't bug you, try Arthur. Ditto for Dustin Hoffman? then try Tootsie. Amélie is very good (overcoming fears - Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) The Rainmaker (Lancaster tries to woo Hepburn) is solid. Enchanted April contains a great reconciliation. I also liked Before Sunrise (young folks on a European train) A quiet slow one: The Scent of Green Papaya (Mui du du xanh)
