In general, I don't understand the common industry assumption that that causes the industry to produce most of the time idiotic fun. Aren't there any smart people who want (NEED) to see a light yet witty movie from time to time?
Correct - I do think it's a pretty heavy issue - give us, the thinkers, some quality time too!
Why mix stupid with fun? We need some quality time too!Anyway, yesterday I saw the Australian movie "Danny Deckchair"- highly recommended!
No, I won't tell you the story because I hate it when people tell me what a movie or a book I didn't see/read yet is about. What's the point?
For me coming to my sofa or to the cinema seat as a clean sheet is a must.
Danny Deckchair
Muriel's weddingHere and there my American friends asked me about an Israeli movie they just saw ("Did you see it?")
Jellyfish
Bonjour Monsieur ShlomiSince today I mention two great Australian versions to romantic comedy, here are the two Israeli answers, no war included just smart fun : "Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi" and "Jellyfish".
Enjoy!

I'm a good movie fiend, and I agree seldom do good fun and good sense come together for a great film, but when it does it is certainly noteable.
I'm a Woody Allen fan personally...much of it has to do with being a Native of NYC and the genius way in which he reveres the city whilst maintaining a level of realism. If you haven't seen Radio Days, it is one of his more recent comedies for thinkers and no Drew Barrymore! :)
I Love Woody Allen too and saw and loved “radio days”!
I agree - his movies, at least from that time are great! ...Lately I saw “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” - what a disappointment…
(My Woody Allen favorite’s movies are “Hannah and Her Sisters”, “Husbands and Wives” - and from the less “light” ones – amazing “Crimes and Misdemeanors” and “Interiors!”)
