I have an irrational love for O.C. and Stiggs, though I can definitely see how someone would ask why even bother to make a film about that little happening.
My love for Gosford Park is very rational, and starts with Jeremy Northam as Ivor Novello.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

There was no one I didn't like in that movie. And Clive Owen! All smoking and brooding and dangerously resentful. Ah, love.

I thought Helen Mirren was great in GP, as always. At the end, when she goes into her bedroom and falls apart--the best scene in the entire film for me.

Oh yeah. She was fantastic. But very few scenes weren't. And the cast as a whole rocked. I love that movie. It's eye candy, too, for the sets and the costumes and the whole air of faded British wealth and boredom.

I'm definitely thinking about buying Gosford Park and rewatching it frequently. I saw it in the theater when it first came out with my mom, and we both liked it but knew we were missing a lot in the crosstalk. I saw it again on tv earlier this year and liked it even more now that I know the answer to the whodunit and can concentrate on the character interactions.

Oh yes, I rewatch Gosford Park whenever it comes on tv.

We got HBO the winter it came to cable, which was also the winter my youngest was born. I watched either it or one the first two LTR movies pretty much every day there for awhile, when I was up in the night feeding the baby.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Gosford Park and The Long Goodbye are on my Netflix list. When I start adding things to list(that is, when the list gets down to a reasonable size) Nashville and McCabe and Mrs. Miller will be added.
(As long as I remember that. There's so much stuff on Netflix I want to see, I forget about most of it.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Everyone should see Gosford Park, and everyone should also see The Queen, which also has much Helen Mirren goodness.
