Boccaccio '70 (1962): In the Monicelli the young married couple put off a holiday to Venice to save money. They proclaim "Venice isn't going anywhere"– it brought on an unintended laugh.
Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad (1949): Excellent animated entertainment.
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967): 50 years on it is more of a curiosity piece but still worth a watch. I never tire of listening to Sidney Poitier's voice – it is very easy on the ear.
Marriage Italian Style (Matrimonio All'italiana) (1964): Although the screenplay runs out of steam it remains watchable. The soft colour photography is easy on the eye.
L'Avventura (1960): The screenplay takes its time, and although the characters are a waste of time, the saving grace is the high standard of the camera work in particular some stunning panoramic shots.
Whale Rider (2003): Beautifully photographed and the story should be appreciated by all age groups and cultures.; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $18.70
Story of a Love Affair (Cronaca di un amore) (1950): Competent story telling rather than memorable.
Hidalgo (2003): The screenplay is long and not exactly groundbreaking. The shooting locations help to maintain the interest.
Truth About Cats and Dogs (1995): The three leads work well together in this thrashed to death story and at least make it watchable.
Aladdin (2019): Although more suited to animation the production does have some good musical numbers and the wardrobe people do a colourful job.; Blu-Ray $59.95
