Watched this yesterday on Netflix, described as ‘goofy’:

More of a rockumentary than unusual, but definitely fun:
and pretty much anything by the Coen Brothers.

I saw this some years ago…
Quite wacky at times, certainly unusual in my book, terrific storyline loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey I believe and cracking soundtrack.
Must add it to the DVD collection

Totally agree @Chilliboot, a reaaallly greeeaaaat movie! I’ve seen it twice, love the music too. The Coen brothers make unusual but definitely memorable films, worthy of being watched!
Fargo, another one.

Yep, I do like to indulge in a little bluegrass from time to time. I might even ask Alexa to indulge me this evening

I’m still a bit skeptical about these hi-tech “invaders” , but I felt like this about smartphones a few years back, so I’ll probably succumb in the end.

If you enjoyed Fargo and *Oh Brother, Where Art Thou * then Saving Arizona and The Big Lebowski would be the next of the Coen brothers’ movies I would recommend.

I cried in places. He seemed real. Ending was sad too, made me think a bit.

Gosh!
I’d forgotten all about that film. Yes it was very moving in places. I watched it with my late wife years ago, I think we must have hired it from Blockbuster on VHS.

No Way Out (1987) from Kevin Costner is worth watching IMO.

Believe it or not, France’s best selling film is Bienvenue Chez les Ch’tis. Great film. Les Ch’tis is slang for those who live in the unreconstructed north of France. Think Yorkshire with more sun - but as much bad teeth.

I’ll look for this, I love French films. Try “The New Girlfriend “.
Thanks, I’ll look out for this. Also, as its a favourite, find Untouchable with Omar Si (easy on the eye). Much better than the US re-make.

Yes it was much better than the remake, but they usually are!
‘Somewhere In Time’ with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. An unusual love story (weepy) with a great soundtrack by John Barry.

A most unusual movie from Iceland called - Lamb.
A remote farm run by a childless couple (their young daughter passed away) - Maria and Ingvar - one of their ewes gives birth to a bizarre lamb, the couple decide to raise it as a gift from god.
Lamb won the Prize of Originality at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
This one, staring Willem Dafoe
I’ve seen it only once, on VHS which shows how long ago that was. Not only interesting but controversial too, it certainly was at the time of release. The sound track is worth a listen as well!

I never wanted to watch it for some reason.
Perhaps it’s one of those Marmite type films Bret.
It’s yet another one I’m tempted to add to the DVD collection.
