I am a movie fanatic. I watch movies on TV, at the cinema and I watch them over and over again. This is a way of logging the movies I watch and hopefully a down-to-earth critique of each, for people like me. In no particular order...although my favourite movie is first...

Being There

YEAR 1979

DIRECTOR Hal Ashby

STARRING Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine and Melvyn Douglas

WRITER Jerzy Kosinski (novel), Jerzy Kosinski (screenplay)

OVERVIEW Chance, a simple gardener, has never left the estate until his employer dies.  

OPINION  From a simple misunderstanding ‘Chance the Gardener’ becomes Chancy Gardiner and this marvelous Kosinski story unfolds . Profound and wonderful. This comedy remained my favourite until ‘ Dirty Rotten Scoundrels ‘ arrived in 1988. a huge 9 years on the top.

RATING YYYYY
