My wife and I saw it on our first date, a double with our mutual friend and her fiancee. New years eve. We were on the friend's couch after the theatre movie. And when I say "saw it", well, it was on.
This was on next. We were there for quite a while not watching the TV.
(That was 1984, and I'd still be very happy to not watch a couple of movies with her.)

I guess I too will "close out" a bunch of my un-answered posts.
For the record, ALL of these films are worth seeing and recommended......a number of them are absolute must-see's.

These are from two films, the first being "Abres Los Ojos" (1997), a Spanish film, and the second being "Vanilla Sky" (2001), an English remake. The neat thing is that Penelope Cruz (in the first 2 pics) played the same character in both films. "Vanilla Sky" also featured Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Jason Lee, Tilda Swinton, Kurt Russel, Michael Shannon, and Timothy Spall.
The connection from this post to #1560, is that in that post an actor also played the same role in the original/British "Death at a Funeral" (2007), and the American remake "Death at a Funeral" (2010).....that being Peter Dinklage.

#3 - Wings of Desire (1987)
#4 - Don't Come Knocking (2005), featuring Sam Shepard, Jessica Lange, and Tim Roth

These are all films from New Zealand.
#1 - Heavenly Creatures (1994), an early Peter Jackson film, featuring a young Kate Winslet (in a breakout role for her).
#2 - The Piano (1993), a Jane Campion film, featuring Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, and Sam Neill
#3 - Whale Rider (2002)....come on, you have to know this one!
#4 - Boy (2010), an early Taika Waititi film
#574 -
#1 - Down in the Valley (2005), featuring Ed Norton, David Morse, Bruce Dern, and a young Evan Rachel Wood
#2 - Oscar and Lucinda (1997), featuring Cate Blanchett, and Ralph Fiennes

These three sort of have a theme wherein the main character may or may not actually have special powers or be a sort of super-hero. Most of my posts are films that really aren't all that obscure or unknown, but a couple of these are more so.
#1 - Mindhorn (2016)
#2 - Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), featuring Mark Duplass, and Aubrey Plaza.
#3 - Special (2006), featuring Michael Rapaport
#286 -
Frank (2014), featuring Michael Fassbinder, Domhnall Gleeson, and Maggie Gylenhall
#175 -
Illuminata (1998), a John Turturro film, featuring the likes of Christopher Walken, Ben Gazzara, Susan Sarandon, Donal McCann, and Beverly DAngelo.
I honestly didn't think that most of these would be all that hard. Oh well.

I'm sure this is stupid easy for some of you. I've never seen it. Fun fact: adjusted for inflation, this is the highest grossing film or all time.

Gone with the Wind.
Like some of my rockets.
This is not the highest grossing film of any time, no matter how you adjust it.
Yes (of course).

Doc Hollywood?
No.
Yes.
I thought 1897 and 1954 would be quicker slam dunks.
This is one of those "any other picture is a dead giveaway" movies...
Here ya go.....
Times Square
Took me a minute to remember the name, I knew it was about two girls who absconded from the psych ward.
