Just a few movies watched recently and only 1 was on my "need to watch list" .

From South Africa, 1981s
#TheGodsMustBeCrazy.
Yeah....no. I watched it until the end, which is the rule of my challenge, but it was a very uncomfortable 110 minutes. Apartheid, colonialism, racism get pushed aside in an attempt to make a quaint movie about a Coca Cola bottle falling from the sky into the desert. To put it into simplistic terms.

2023's #PastLives
This was lovely, simply lovely. Needed some tissues near the end. In it's simplest concept, it is a movie about first love. But it is so much more than that. It's intimate and looks at what happens when the rose coloured glassed get taken away. When sentiment gets replaced with reality.

1966s #TheOscar
Interesting B movie starring Stephen Boyd who played Messala in 1959s #BenHur and yep, that is #TonyBennett. Schlocky story about an egotistical no hoper, a man used to chewing up and spitting out his friends. A man who rises to Hollywood fame but gets his comeuppance on Oscar night. Kurt Douglas's 1952 #TheBadAndTheBeautiful was much better.
