So many memorable Christopher Plummer performances over so many decades. The first that comes to mind for me is his absolutely terrifying, wildly odd & unsettling turn in THE SILENT PARTNER. Every moment he's on the screen makes me squirm. I couldn't love it more. Rest in peace.

The film 'Remember'(2015) is carried beautifully by the superb acting of Christopher Plummer(Zev). His search for a Nazi murderer is organized by a fellow nursing home resident & Auschwitz survivor(Martin Landau), since Zev has dementia. The plot surprises add a punch.@0975Peace

The cast in the award-winning film 'Newsfront'(1978) is made up of a who's who of Australian actors, ably led by Bill Hunter. It's Phillip Noyce's feature film debut as director, & it combines fluctuating family & professional affairs with real news footage of the day.@0975Peace

In 'Yesterday'(2019) struggling musician Jack Malik(Himesh Patel) after a bizarre accident finds out no one's ever heard of The Beatles or their music, so he decides to pass their music off as his own, gaining world fame...Cast: Lily James, Kate McKinnon & Ed Sheeran. @0975Peace

A book I'm enjoying at the moment is by Jerry Seinfeld: 'IS THIS ANYTHING?'(2020). It's 450 pages, so I dip into it wherever whenever I'm wanting a laugh. If you're a fan of his TV series you'll love this. Droll. Cynical. Sharp. Philosophical. Masterpiece. @0975Peace

'The Prince Story: Icon, Genius...Slave'(2017) is an excellent insight into the personality of the pop icon Prince, from interviews and dramatizations. It takes us from childhood family conflict to his obsessive musical focus & his alienation from those who loved him. @0975Peace

'Miles Ahead'(2016) is a biographical drama based loosely on jazz trumpeter Miles Davis' late '70s life when he took a 5 year break from performing.....a fictional drama is added; with lots of his music. Don Cheadle plays Miles admirably while directing & co-writing. @0975Peace

I prefer Cary, the super smooth suave sophisticate. I like James, he amuses me,...he's a bit of a bumbler but;)

L.A.Confidential(1997) is a fast-paced character-driven police drama based in the early '50s Los Angeles. Crowe & Pearce(both little known) with Spacey, Basinger & De Vito(who slots in to any role with ease) front a strong cast. Confidential was a 50s scandal magazine.@0975Peace

1/ The Affair(1973 TV Movie) Natalie Wood, Robert Wagner (1.25 hours) 5/10 A strange little movie. 22/08/2018 Warning: Spoilers I was drawn to watch this being a fan of Natalie Wood. It left me bemused. It sort of makes sense. (@0975Peace)

Goodbye Again'(1961) with Ingrid Bergman, Anthony Perkins and Yves Montand is a terrific film involving a love triangle. Bergman and Perkins(celebrated from 'Psycho' in '60) are especially brilliant. In Black and White, well known Paris landmarks feature prominently. @0975Peace

'Love in the Afternoon'(1957) is delightful with many fun storyline twists & turns. It's directed by Billy Wilder, with Audrey Hepburn who never disappoints, Chevalier in a smart non-singing role, Gary Cooper as an aging philanderer & a funny McGiver playing a cuckold.@0975Peace

'Rabbit-Proof Fence'(2002): In 1931 3 young aboriginal children are cruelly stolen from their families in a government-driven policy & taken 1500 miles away to be taught the white ways, & so losing their culture, language and family links. The 3 escape to walk home. @0975Peace

Clint Eastwood excels at anything he puts his hand to, in this case his 'Absolute Power'(1997), a political action thriller he produced, directed, acted in & composed two music themes for. It's a strong cast & script, which depicts political power at its most corrupt. @0975Peace

'Inherit the Wind'(1960) has a real 1925 court case as its story base. The themes are not new, bible believers against Darwinists fighting it out in court with a young Darwinist teacher as defendant. An overblown orator March vs savvy Tracy, with nosy journo Gene Kelly.@0975Peace
