Actors and playback singing... - Page 6

Haven't watched 'frailty', not sure even heard of it, but I have poor memory :) But IMO any movie that upsets you and makes you so uncomfortable is not worth watching.

Yes Stromboli is a small island in Italy, home of Mt. Stromboli volcano which has been an active for 2000 yrs nonstop and it is called "Lighthouse of Mediterranean" ( you know so much 👍🏼)

Bold - I don't know why maybe too much PC nowadays (political correctness not priyanka chopra)

too much agenda, actors offscreen behaviour etc but the main reason is decline in quality, most movies made now look and feel like 'made for TV movie' imo.

LOL.. did you like the movies? :p

ha when you want to skip the exhausting irritating details in novels, movie is the better option I guess :p ..I want to do both though, somehow watching + reading gives me a 'full' vision 😃

What other book-based classics have you watched Betty, and what's your favorite? :)

I think I've only watched Moby Dick(latest adaptation - In The Heart of The Sea) from the list above.. but have read few books(Wuthering Heights, couple of Jane Austen books)... how is the movie Wuthering Heights?? :)

@bold --- ahh, perhaps it's a phase? :p ..would you say you watch lot of movies?? :) (more than average person :p )

Yes it could be just a phase, I am very fickle 😆 I watch much less movies now than I used to...

I watched Moby Dick(1956) with Gregory Peck, he was perfect... I've to say the movie really tested my patience in the beginning but in the end I was glad I watched it

Wuthering Heights(1939) - Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon(she was Anglo Indian) - 👍🏼

Pride and Prejudice(1940) - Olivier and Greer Garson, Loved it but hated 2005 with a Kiera Knightely (but everybody else loved it 😊)

Sense and Sensibility(1995) - Loved it. Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet ( one of the few movies she doesn't appear nude) were great

War and Peace (1956) - Audrey Hepburn... What's not to love ❤️ 😊 Based on real events... Leo Tolstoy's book it must be the most famous world literature, so was finally happy to see it.

And finally Clueless(1995) is based on Jane Austen's Emma, instead of 1815 England it is set in late 20th century Beverly Hills, USA 😊

That's it for now, there are others, but these are most memorable.

What is your favorite book (classic literature)?

@bold ... Hmm, i do agree about movies and even people trying to be politically correct, self-righteous.. it is irritating.. 😆 But what do you mean, give me an example :)

..which actor's off-screen behaviour do you not like, Betty? (sorry I have long stopped following E! news or any other hollywood reports except very occasionally i guess)..

What's your opinion on the number of film adaptions of DC/Marvel comics? My mom's biggest gripe about HW cinema today is this... she says creativity is gone, it's no more like 'it used to be'.. sometimes, even I wonder at the heaps of movies based on DC/Marvel although I've enjoyed a few..

Oh you! all my class fellows from 10th class know (about Stromboli)! 😛
