The Man in the White Suit (drama-comedy, Alec Guiness, 1951) Good movie. 7.5*
Worth seeing once. As are the others.

Some movies are so good they are worth seeing two or three or four times.
Local Hero (drama-comedy-romance, UK, 1983) 7.5*

and moreso:
Central Station (drama-pathos, Brazil, 1998) 8.5* A dishonest, retired school teacher finds enough compassion in her heart to help a boy find his family.
...
Run Lola Run (existential drama, Germany, 1998) 9* Innovative.
La Femme Nikita (crime-drama-romance, France, 1990) 9* Adults only!
Secrets & Lies (drama, UK, 1996) 9* Adults only! "You think I'm just a wanker."
Detachment (drama, 2011) 9* Adults only!
A Man for All Seasons (historical drama, UK, 1966) 10*

Don't be mad, but I've seen them all, except The Witch. But I will make up my mind when I watch Witch. Heard only good things about it.

I have not seen, and will not see, "The Witch". It sounds pretty routine.

But the rest are a good selection. No dross. Did you pick them up cheap as a job lot?

reply

I'm not mad, just wondering why you'd ask this question... if you've already bought them you may as well watch them.

It was kind of a ironic post, in tradition of those "Rate my..." or "I just got... what you think?" threads. So no further wondering necessary. But I am interested in other people's opinions. Have you seen them all?
