The first is Mother (the Korean one), but not sure of the second.
Could the 2nd be Y Tu Mama?
Idk why buy i thought of the fountain fir the first hint,
For the second i picturized dance alone scene in almostvfamous but y tu mama is fitting as well, i guess
There you go. Split the winnings.



Yeah, I never would've got these since I haven't seen them. But coincidentally, I planned on Watching Mother and Memories of Murder this week.



For those that were trying to break it down...

I've known you all my life (sons know their mother all their life)
You care for me all along (mothers care for their children, but especially the one in Mother)
I want to love you like a wife (obvious nod to how the teens feel about the older woman in YTMT)
You protect me if I do wrong (and again, a nod to the overprotection from the mother in... umm, Mother)

We're gonna drive together (road trip in YTMT)
From south beach to west sun (Mexico = south of the border, Korea = is on the west, has a sun on its flag)
We're gonna dance together (characters in YTMT dance together, it's on the poster)
Or you're gonna dance alone (iconic ending of Mother, with the mother dancing alone)



I've known you all my life
You care for me all along
I want to love you like a wife
You protect me if I do wrong

We're gonna drive together
From south beach to west sun
We're gonna dance together
Or you're gonna dance alone
I totally missed that you posted hints!

Legend.




Nice predictions by some there. Although, Thief your hints may be too easy. I'm not sure I didn't bother trying to guess because frankly I don't care for those shenanigans.

Both excellent films. Neither made my list. It's really a quality start to the countdown.

Speaking of quality, Thief really appreciate the extra trivia and review to the movies. You're doing great!

Both films having to do with "mothers" really made potential hints to be too easy, I guess. Especially with one of the films literally being called... Mother Anyway, it was a quick thought last night before going to sleep. I'm gonna work harder on next hints, but I'm also gonna try to keep it varied. I'm not gonna churn rhymes and haikus all month long



Delighted to have had a hand in Mother turning up, even if it is way too early imho. Y Tu Mamá También is one of those movies I see the title of and always think "Oh yeah, I must have seen that!" but then am amazed each and every time when I find that I don't think I actually have. One day I might actually get round to rectifying that rather than letting it slip from my mind ... until the next time I see it mentioned.

Seen: 2/6 (Own: 2/6)
My ballot:  


Faildictions (millennial edition v1.0):
94. Casino Royale (2006)
93. The Fast And The Furious (2001)



Peace and love but I watched Mother for one of the HoFs and it was hot garbage. Never seen Y tu mama tambien. Cuaron isn't really a guy I go out of my way for but he's done some nice stuff.



Mother is on my Hulu watchlist, so I'll get to it soon hopefully. I haven't seen Y tu mama tambien since it came out--I liked it a lot at the time but it did not make my list.
