excellent movie.Give Son of the Bride a chance.
I know, the title doesn't sound like much, but you might be surprised.
The translated title makes it sound like a horror flick. Funny that "Bride of ..." and "Son of ..." have that association.

The recent Armageddon Time is very good.
In many ways parallel to Spielberg's The Fabelmans, but much better in my view.

One of my all-time favourites is the Jim Jarmusch movie Paterson:

Although I confess I am a big Jarmusch fan. Was hooked after seeing Stranger Than Paradise
Paterson movie review & film summary (2016) | Roger Ebert
A meticulously composed movie; every frame is a beauty.

Wes Anderson's newest movie is not only gorgeous (as usual) but this time around, the story is quite personal and touching. Highly recommended!

Looking forward to watching this. I love Wes Anderson.
Watched it the other night. Truly bizarre and very entertaining and original at first...but it dribbled until the end. Fairly disappointing after a promising beginning. Loved the Technicolor vibe though.
En Kärlekshistoria - A Swedish Love Story.
Mentioned by Hoyte van Hoytema in Zomergasten last Sunday as one of his favorite movies.
Shot in '69, I personally loved the timeless and universal feel it still seems to have.

If it hasn't been mentioned I would like to recommend "The Tender Bar" with Ben Affleck and directed by George Clooney. The story is familiar, a coming of age film, that reminds me of so many other films, a kind of cross between the Paper Chase, Good Will Hunting, Before the Fall. It is directed with a light but sure touch, a great performance from Affleck, a few laughs along the way, working class kid makes good kinda thing. A Family with a single mother, a "mad" grandfather, a sister-brother relationship, Affleck is well cast as the smartest guy in the room that didn't quite make it.
For what it is, it is finely done, and the supporting cast do just great.

1. It is less than 90 minutes long and digestible after a long day at work
2. Billy Connolly is brill in it
3 The three kids in it are just hysterical - its like they were totally unscripted
So - no highbrow arts movie, but if you need to smile after a ****** day it may be for you and yours
I can already feel the scornful comments pouring in - sorry to let the side down
Rosamund Pike in a comedy doesn't compute in my head, I'll watch it for this reason alone!
That makes it even more interesting!

Les Vacances de monsieur Hulot aka "Mr. Hulot's Holiday" is an oldie but goodie, as are Mon Oncle and Playtime.
To be honest, I wasn't enthralled upon my first viewings, but the three movies have since become enduring favorites of mine. There really isn't much of a story, so much as a series of incidents unwittingly unleashed by Hulot.

Did you like this? I thought it was an epic failure. He took the cast from In Bruges (awesome film) and counted on their chemistry.
This film is about a man with VERY severe mental illness doing massive amounts of self harm. Why would Martin Mcdonagh even have made this film?
If films were not made where lead characters had mental health issues and did harm, far fewer movies would have been made.
Even Snow White had a psychotic queen intent on murder …
