Suggest a film you love that no-one else knows

I’m just finishing Hear My Song in Amazon Prime, starring a very young Adrian Dunbar, Tara Fitzgerald and James Nesbit among others.

If you can get through the rousing final five minutes without your toes tapping and your hands clapping you are better than me!

It’s nonsensical, whimsical nostalgia and twee Irish, but marvellous.

Practical magic 🥰 Sandra bullock & Nicole Kidman

Anyone else buy a Josef Locke cd after seeing Hear My Song?

@Pyewackect

The Greengage Summer was another. 1961, starring a very young Susannah York and Kenneth More. From the Novel by Rumer Godden.

Love old British films.

@Pyewacket. Oh, I love that film, and I also love old British films.
Have you seen Summer and Port Wine with James Mason, it's wonderful.

Summer and Port Wine has been on Talking Pictures a few times recently.

Talking Pictures is great for seeing funny old films that nobody else has seen! Freeview channel 81. Arsenal Stadium Mystery anyone?

Great to see so much love for Tokyo Story. It’s my favourite film of all time. I can’t watch it without sobbing, and I’m really not a crier.

I loved The Rocket. It is set in Northern Laos.
I also liked the Japanese film called Dumplings.
I have already mentioned O'Horten, a Norwegian film about a just retired train driver.
A more popular one is The Intouchables, a very funny French film. The Hindi remake was just as good, filmed allowing the cultural differences.
An animation one that I like is Persepolis about an outspoken Iranian girl during the Islamic revolution. The story of the Maryjane Satrapies who based the film on her life is interesting. I would really recommend this film.

I saw that that someone posted Mall Rats, out of the Kevin Smith films I have to say Clerks is my favourite but Mall Rats is good too although it took some watches to really enjoy.
I am really missing my local Indy picture house.

The Dawning. 80s Anthony Hopkins film set in 1920s.

I haven't seen it for years, but I used to have it taped off the telly. A lovely little film based on a Jennifer Johnston novel.

Chun King Express is another mesmerising foreign film that’s really worth tolerating subtitles for.

The Saint of fort Washington is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time

Summer and Port Wine has been on Talking Pictures a few times recently.

Oh, I missed it, what a shame as I'd love to see it again.

I posted too soon on my last on.
I meant to include 'Martha Marcy May Marlene' Elizabeth Olson is great in this film about a young women who was abused in a cult.

Not sure if already mentioned and therefore null and void as suggestions:

The Family Stone - a new favourite christmas film (Sarah Jessica Parker, Clare Danes and Luke Wilson. Plus Diane keaton. Love this film)

The song of the sea (I think! It's an Irish cartoon about a young girl who's mother died and was presumed to be a selkie. Beautiful animation)

Local Hero - not enough people know this film!

Northanger Abbey - the one with JJ Feild.

Austenland. Brilliant fun.

A Matter of Life and Death - David Niven, really disturbed me as a child, but I have watched it so many time since and it’s a firm favourite now.
I’m also another Candleshoe fan.

The Ghost and Mrs Muir - Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney

The Glass Slipper - Leslie Caron in a quirky Cinderella story. (Dreadful acting, but I loved it as a child and now dd love it too.)

L'Atalante - a couple start married life living on a working barge travelling up and down the Seine. Made in 1934.

The Grand Illusion - also French, set in WWI. Made in 1937.

Horse Feathers - a Marx Brothers film. Most of them really.

I could bore go on!

DanielODonkey Song of The Sea is a big favourite in our house.

It'll probably be on again @ThePluckOfTheCoward . I'm on the Talking Pictures Facebook group and they announce up and coming showings.

Jack and Sarah, with a very young Richard E Grant

Shooting Dogs is another good one . It's hard watching and very sad but a great film .

'The Women' 1939 which has an all female cast, Joan Crawford is fantastic in it!

'Now, Voyager' 142 starring Bette Davis.

'Now, Voyager' 1942

@tobee L’Atalante is wonderful - very dreamlike.

Another couple

The Fastest Indian (Anthony Hopkins)
Hatchi - A Dogs Tail (Richard Gere)

I love the old sci-fi (50s B movies mostly) and old musicals, too many to mention.

I have loved this thread. Thank you. The Slipper and the Rose is my ultimate comfort film. Muriel's Wedding is amazing. Also loved Mr Holland's Opus.

Off to watch Pride this evening I think. I have also never seen Lion and this reminded me that I wanted to.

To add something to the mix, De-Lovely with Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd. A Cole Porter biopic.

White Palace with Susan Sarandon and the gorgeous James Spader

Another truly bad film is Rancid Aluminium. I only went to see it because Rhys Ifans was in it. There were four of us in the cinema
