so I *finally* watched LOTR all the way through; up until now, I had only seen bits and pieces. Bloody marvelous, it was. Also watched my first Dutch movie--couldn't believe that was the case, but checked my movie list, and yup--first one. Thinking I need to try to see a movie from a new country each month.
Recommendations: The Big Clock; Brokeback Mountain; Kama Sutra; The Locket; LOTR (all three); My Cousin Rachel (017 Rachel Weisz version); No Man of Her Own (1950 Barbara Stanwyck version); Sansho the Bailiff.
List image is composite of four of the most visually stunning movies I saw this month (clockwise from top left): Red Heroine; LOTR; La conquête du pole; Avalon.
