Now THAT's the kind of list I was looking for. Thanks, Patrick! The last Prime Suspect I saw was PS5, and that was years ago. I always like Mirren. I'll get my own list of films up soon. They tend to make you reflect on life, what it's all about (I know, I know... 42) how to get through it without getting sh*t all over you. I'm leaning more toward foreign films because other cultures have more of a struggle to live successfully, and in that constant struggle is found meaning. I often reflect on the differences between what is intrinsically understood by everyone over there versus what the pampered pay $200 an hour to some windbag phoney to supposedly learn over here. I like to contrast and compare everything between cultures and time periods -- and even species. It's amazing to me how ashamed we are of our animal natures, though no matter how we try to deny and disguise ourselves the animal is always right there just underneath the face paint. There is little difference between the courtship of the tiny Bowery Bird and the courtship of the Yuppie, for example. And you can easily parallel a twenty minute Nature Channel clip of the mating cycle of the Bowery Bird to the plot of a Jane Austen novel. PS for Patrick: I finally tried some Saint Andre last week, and it was delicious! A bit young, so the next wedge I'll choose a little riper. Anyway, it's a new fave around here with everyone. Any suggestions for companion cheeses and perhaps an accompanying wine selection? What do you think of Saint Andre?
