Meet Joe Black (1998)
A Page-Turner If Movies Were Books
This one stays with me. I've got a few favorites and this takes the cake.
Everything about this movie will make you feel emotional, spiritual, joyful, deeply reflective.
Brad Pitt? Yes, please. Marcia giving us all WASPy angst about being second fiddle to Daddy? Amazing. Claire Forlani literally being the raison d'etre? Flawless.
And Anthony Friggin Hopkins. I believe him.
Essentially, stop what you're doing. Watch this movie in maybe two parts. Pause. Reflect. Receive. This is a work of art, not just a Friday night flick.
Cinematography, music, screenplay, the acting, the storyline(s)....
Perfection.
Two If by Sea (1996)
Sandy & Denis
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is that Sandra Bullock's boyfriend is Denis Leary.
Granted, he is a decent looking man. Kind eyes. Obviously put effort into playing his character.
But you find yourself kinda rootin for the other guy even though he's not the one you're supposed to be rootin for just because he's cute, ya know?
