rawr! mgm+ film fest!

This week has been a free sampling of MGM+, courtesy of Comcast.

You know what that means, right?

Movies, movies, movies!

My choice with this Film Festival was to take a representative film from each genre.

With no further ado, here we go!

holiday

"Scrooge" (1970)
This was a musical with Albert Finney! I remember seeing this many years ago. So nice to be reminded of Finney's fine performance!

sports

"Bull Durham" (1988)
I don't know that I'll ever get tired of this baseball film with Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins, and Susan Sarandon! Bonus: no snow in this movie! I don't know why it is, but seeing snow on the screen makes my body get chilled. True!

romance

"Still Today" (2020)
Jody Thompson (writer, star) as groom ditched on his wedding day. Teri Wyble is the "model" escort who challenges him to still make it "his happiest day ever". Rather an upbeat film, even though the man isn't even good-looking by any standard.

international comedy

"French Girl" (2024)
Zach Braff is a welcome familiar face in this Canadian farce. His live-in girlfriend gets a chance to audition for a chef position at a fancy restaurant in her hometown of Quebec City, so off they go! It's also the first time he's meeting her family - lol!

western comedy- soft porn

"Sixpack Annie" (1975)
Annie and her best friend go off in search of a 'sugar daddy' to get the $5000 needed to save her aunt's diner. Really was a cute film!

family musical

"The Frog Prince" (1986)
A delightful Globus-Golan production with a young Helen Hunt as the rude older sister who wants to be a princess, though she suspects her younger sis is.
Aileen Quinn is just-right adorable without being cloying.
John Paragon as hilarious as the dancing "too tall" frog (with someone named Nick Curtis doing all his singing)!

suspense

"Fargo" (1996)
Ah, back into snow country! This movie is so good that I couldn't pass up the chance to see it one more time! Love the accents, too!
