Greatest movies of all time
I disagree - it is about emotions.
There are plenty of other movies I’ve admired but in the end I remember something that affects my heart.
“Contempt” starring Brigette Bardot
If I’m remembering right, the Warts fight song has a very strong “Mr. Mackey” vibe. 😄
I’m seriously going to find that and watch it again.
Same...that and Edge of Tomorrow. Cruise is great in both.
