And here are your picks for this round! If the last one is too new let me know and I can replace it.
District B13 (2004)
Directed by: Pierre Morel
Notes: You said you've been meaning to check this out, so here's a chance. I actually just rewatched it and it's still a fun, fast-paced action flick I'd recommend. As a bonus, you can practice your French (though this isn't québécois haha)
Ikiru (1952)
Directed by: Akira Kurosawa
Notes: Am I just picking films you already showed interest in earlier in the thread? Maybe. I do think this is the kind of sad you'll enjoy though!
Nobody (2021)
Directed by: Ilya Naishuller
Notes: I wouldn't normally have gone with something so new, but your 2021 challenge "Nightmare Mode" still has a few slots for 2021 films and this is a great
John Wick-like film that's worth a watch if you're in the mood for it.
Really great choices. I was bummed this summer when I missed checking out
Nobody at the theater and if I was capable of finding a link for it, THAT would have been my choice. And I AM curious about
B13 and, like Nobody, could not locate a link.
Leaving me with one that, when I remarked on it, was very curious to see who would jump on it, so I will happily go with
Ikiru.
THANK YOU COSMIC!!

Space Station 76 (2014) Yes, it's only rated a mere 4.9, but those people missed the point of the movie! It's not a sci-fi blockbuster action movie, it's more of a commentary on life in the 1970s. I do think someone who experienced the 1970s would get the most out of the movie. Just don't let the opening credit scene, throw you for a loop.
In the first 1 minute of the film, I formed an opinion that turned out to be 180 degrees wrong and I ended up really liking it.
Alice's Restaurant (1969) This is truly a one of a kind movie, made in 1969 about young people 'hippies' and featuring Arlo Gutherie who so fits this movie, he's good in it too. The movie making itself feels like a free form 'hippie' type movie (I mean that in a good way). I think you'd dig it! I sure did. A happy film.
I Love You to Death (1990) Filmed in the city I grew up in, with some cool local landmarks like Bob's Java Jive, oh and Phoebe Cates never looked cuter, though she only has a cameo.
LOVE
Love You To Death. Seen it so very many times since it came out and for a long time owned a copy. Great film with a great cast. Always a great laugh.
I checked out Space Station 76 and really liked the cast and I do admit being VERY curious, but
Alice's Restaurant seemed to call out to me, a little louder than the others.
I think I might have seen this on Local TV Night at the Movies as a tiny whelp and throughout my life I've been curious to watch a film about the excellent Arlo Guthrie song about having a Thanksgiving dinner that can't be beat and being arrested for littering that would play every Thanksgiving on the Radio well into the nineties.
THANKS CR!!
I'll get some nominations up in a bit for ya both
