Pee-wee's Big Adventure 1985 8 / 10



"When eccentric man-child Pee-Wee Herman gets his beloved
bike stolen in broad daylight, he sets out across the
U.S. on the adventure of his life."

D'ye know I've never even heard of this film, I'd watch anything with Mads in it! On the watchlist for this snowy weekend. Cheers Dani8

This is on the documentary list and I watched it for the female directors countdown. It's about one of those diddler priests who went to prison. We hear a lot from him, some victims, etc., and about the cover-up. I'd say it's a very high quality film but one I didn't especially enjoy watching.

The Nun's Story (1959)



Kind of an epic "hero's journey" type of movie with Audrey Hepburn as a nun, struggling between her natural independence and adhering to her vows of obedience.
I'd dare to call this a feminist movie, but where those holding the reigns of power aren't so much the members of "man's" world, but the Catholic church and the order of nuns themselves (the church in no way is portrayed as the "bad guy," but the message is clear that complete, life-long, religious commitment may not be for everyone, especially strong-willed daughters of world-renowned surgeons who are very intelligent scientists themselves). The story takes place prior to WWII and ends at the beginning of the war.

Some of the scenery is very nice (as much of it was shot on-site). My only fault of the film is that it's a bit slow moving while being 2.5 hours long, so may not be for everybody as "Sister Luke" travels from one position and set of challenges to another.

P.S. Keep an eye out for Colleen Dewhurst in an early role in probably the film's only "action" scene! (I thought she was Faye Dunaway at first, but realized this film would be too early for her). Plus, Peter Finch is in the movie - he's mad as hell and he's not gonna take it anymore!

The last movie I saw was The Breakfast Club. I love this movie and each time I watch it, it seems to get even better.

Glad you seen this and not surprised you appreciated it. It's one of my favorites and I believe MarkF thinks highly of it too. I watched it when I was doing an Audrey Hepburn filmography.
On the surface the whole idea of sweet Audrey as a nun would seem fluffy, but it's anything but fluffy, it's psychological deep! Mainly because it's a deep character study, where we get to know the viewpoint of a strong willed nun and her life. It's also like 'living' the life of a nun as the movie literally puts the viewer in a nun's habit. So one get's to see a world we otherwise would never know about.

It does! I swear the more one watches it, the deeper and refined the performances become.

I dont know why the critics panned this movie other than Shia Le Boeuf and he was great in this, regardless of what he gets up to outside off screen. I dont care about that and wont rate a movie downward because of it.. Stands up to a rewatch every time for me. I thought all three actors were great, it's stunning to look at, and it hit it home for me on an emotional level. I will rewatch this again, and then some.

It's definitely not good for my catholic guilt
