Broken Flowers - 2004 - Jim Jarmusch

Bill Murray is Billy Murray, as in I don’t know if he ‘acts’ or just ‘is’, either way in Broken Flowers he dons some cool 70s/80s threads, takes off on a road trip to unearth his romantic/prolific past. Jeffrey Wright (Winston) is excellent. Down beat with a sweet soundtrack.

I’m Not Rappaport - 1996 - Herb Gardner

This is a good one – adapted from a play, two octogenarians meet regularly on a bench in Central Park. Nat (Walter Matthau) and Midge (Ossie Davis) are two rogues who despite their age still battle the world. Full of little adventures and humour – Walter Matthau steals the show.

Escape from New York -1981 - John Carpenter

Manhattan is a post apocalyptic prison over run by hideous criminals. Kurt Russell is Snake Plissken, clad in leather, a menacing eye patch and armed with about four lines of dialogue, sent into rescue the US president who has crash-landed into the mayhem. Truly amazing – Kurt Russell that is.
