My week to choose a film for film night.

I've told them it's "going to be great".

But, I must be honest, outside of sci-fi, I'm not the biggest film fan in the world and I've been told "no sci-fi and nothing scary".

Please help me resetera, good things could happen if I get it right.

Great suggestion. "No sci-fi and nothing scary" isn't a lot to go on, but how about In the Mood for Love? That's a great film and a great new version of it just came out. Still a great movie but more like a date movie I guess. 3 people, no sci-fi, and not scary... how about the recent Little Women? That was great.

Ok I have to guess that all three haven't seen the movie cause you didn't give enough info.

Stalag 17 (1953, note it is in black & white in case some are allergic)
FlvUVQ0.png

Available on Amazon Prime (probably elsewhere too)
Don't search for info about it or you'll get the ending spoiled!
One night in 1944 in a German POW camp housing American airmen, two prisoners try to escape the compound and are quickly discovered and shot dead. Among the remaining men, suspicion grows that one of their own is a spy for the Germans. All eyes fall on Sgt. Sefton (William Holden) who everybody knows frequently makes exchanges with German guards for small luxuries.

The Confession (1970)

Preview. Available on YouTube.


The Confession (French: L'aveu) is a 1970 French-Italian film directed by Costa-Gavras starring Yves Montand and Simone Signoret.
It is based on the true story of the Czechoslovak communist committed leftist Artur London, a defendant in the Slánský trial. Gavras did not intend the film as an anti-communist film but as a plea against totalitarianism and particularly Stalinism.

Black Robe (1991) Amazing soundtrack. Sort of a more gritty depressing Dance with the Wolves.

Available on Amazon Prime

Watch Black Robe online – Prime Video

In the 17th century a Jesuit priest and a young companion are escorted through the wilderness of Quebec by Algonquin Indians to find a distant mission in the dead of winter.
Trailer


Set in 1634, this film follows the travels of Father LaForgue (Lothaire Bluteau), a Jesuit priest called upon to search for a remote Canadian mission surrounded by Huron settlements. LaForgue, guided by a group of distrustful yet kind Algonquin natives, embarks on a trek across unfamiliar and treacherous terrain.

The Conformist (1970, incredibly beautifully shot, beautiful soundtrack, must be seen in Blu-Ray/HD stream)
CeypGom.jpg

Available on Youtube.
Trailer (rather spoilery!)


Marcello Clerici (Jean-Louis Trintignant) is a member of the secret police in Mussolini's Fascist Italy. He and his new bride, Giulia (Stefania Sandrelli), travel to Paris for their honeymoon, where Marcello also plans to assassinate his former college professor Luca Quadri (Enzo Tarascio), an outspoken anti-Fascist living in exile. But when Marcello meets the professor's young wife, Anna (Dominique Sanda), both his romantic and his political loyalties are tested.

Once Upon a Time in America (not: in Hollywood!) is a masterpiece. The extended cut is very long, but not once was I bored watching it.

Alright let me go in a different direction: how about The Grand Budapest Hotel ?
It's different but clever, funny and interesting, and no subtitles required.
