The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
Like a Hitchcock movie.
I had heard this was a good movie and I rented it expecting an arty film. It was that - good acting, great locations etc. But I was surprised to find it was a great suspense film, like I was watching something by Alfred Hitchcock.
FYI, The review of this movie in Time Magazine offers an interesting comparison of the book and the movie and how the director changed qualities of the characters in the movie(especially Ripley).
The Twelve Chairs (1970)
Good family movie
This movie is by Mel Brooks and so of course it has very some funny moments. Each of the main characters has some great bits. (This movie came out about the time Woody Allen started making films and some of the off-the-wall stuff reminded of his early films.)
If you are looking for a family movie, I would recommend this because it was clever enough for me and my wife to enjoy and silly enough for our kids.
