Reader's Choice - Let's watch ____ together
Hey readers. Now that the Oscar coverage is wrapping let's return to our great love of RANDOMNESS. Let's watch something together and discuss. I want to see something I've never seen before so I looked at the current streaming crop and picked four I should catch up with. Decide which I have to write about by next Thursday March 23rd
Your choices are Denmark's first Oscar winner and foodie favourite Babette's Feast (1987), the Jayne Mansfield rom-com Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957), the sleeper hit action flick John Wick (2014) starring Keanu Reeves, and Robert Altman's infamous Popeye (1980)... and yes, I too, think it's strange that I haven't seen any of these particular films which all have pockets of devout admirers.

I'm sad Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? isn't getting votes. Anyway, here's my pitch that people should watch it - it's a really fun movie from the '50s with Jayne Mansfield giving a terrific performance as an extreme version of the Monroe persona. Plus her character has a French poodle who is always attired to complement Jayne, one of my favorite visual gags of all-time.
Stop democracy and go with Babette's Feast. It's a balm for the soul.
I voted for John Wick mainly because I'm just in the mood for it but I won't say no to Babette's Feast as that is a great fucking movie.
