My branch library has "The Imposters" but I haven't borrowed it yet. Thanks, Matt.

The Imposters is one of my all time favorite movies--you can tell everyone on the set is having such a fun time!

I highly recommend it for a day when you are feeling cruddy and just want something light and delicious to watch.

I saw Entertaining Angels ages ago when it was first released. Dorothy Day fascinates me, I wish I had her spiritual strength. Loaves and Fishes and Dorothy Day; A Radical Devotion are great books.

I love 1900, great film.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Yeah, Dorothy Day is very inspiring.

Two more must see movies.

Bright Young Things http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325123/
One, Two, Three http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055256/

Bright Young Things and the Cat's Meow have been on my Netflix queue forever--must move them up in the list! Big Night was lots of fun with a few very moving scenes--that's another soundtrack I bought (must update my list on the soundtrack thread).

I saw Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle when it was released and I remember being very disappointed. I love Jennifer Jason Leigh but her accent was really annoying in this film and the connection between Parker and Benchley seemed weak. The whole movie seemed to meander as I recall. But this was years ago, my opinion might be different now. Did anyone else see this one? What did you think?

I saw Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle ... but in all honestly I was leaning towards liking it beforehand. I am a big fan of the director, a big fan of Jennifer Jason Leigh and a big fan of Scott Campbell. The movie was dry, I thought, but I found all the characters interesting and thought fondly of the movie afterwards. Shrug.

This movie is fun to watch!

I saw "The Imposters" in the theater when it originally came out, and me and my friend were the only 2 people there! What a great movie though!
