„Local Hero“ and „Cal“ are very well known movies – but only some people know „Comfort & Joy“, the third film for which Mark Knopfler wrote some incidental music. That’s how I discovered these three movies and instantly liked them – so kudos for putting „Comfort & Joy“ on your shelfie.
For the rest of the pictured movies I guess I have to do some homework ! ;-D
I’ve never seen either Local Hero or Cal – although I did read the novel Cal a long long time ago. Bernard Maclaverty, was it?
This was a random snapshot of part of the shelf.
It goes like this (from top to foot of pic)
Fekete Kefe – Hungarian comedy
Heavyweights – Hollywood comedy
Lucien Freud: portraits – art comedy
Comfort & Joy – ice cream wars comedy
Essex Boys: Retribution – drugs comedy
The Wake Live At The Hacienda – music
if – total comedy
Zyerkel – Russian comedy
Stalker – alien comedy
The Sacrifice – nuclear comedy
Iwo Jima – cheap made for cable TV documentary
Bronson – incarceration comedy
Nosferatu – blood comedy
Senna – fucking tragedy
Great Expectations – intertidal marshland comedy
