soliciting movie recommendations as i am home alone for the next couple of days and want something to put on the telly in the background (and/or more attentively watch, we'll see)
criteria:
- no christmas
- mild preference for not in the past decade or perhaps even this century
- stronger preference for not in the past like five years
- not generally a fan of action films because i'm bad at following action scenes; willing to make exceptions for very good films or ones with especially comprehensible action scenes
- english audio is kinda essential for the background-watching stuff but feel free to suggest films without it anyway
- excellent or influential films and trashy drek both welcomed, mediocre stuff less appealing.
@alyssa Yidl Mitn Fidl (1936 Molly Picon musical about a girl cross-dressing and travelling-musician-ing with her dad, filmed in Poland)?
... oh wait I missed the bit about English audio. Uhh... well, the songs are still great fun even without translation imo, and while there's SOME characters-developing-in-relation-to-each-other it's more episodic than not so you can drop in and out.
... Singing In The Rain.
@gaditb well now i’m glad you missed that bit. tho idk whether i’ll be able to get my hands on Yidl Mitn Fidl hehe
