what movies (without tom, i think i got some of your tolm recs before :D) would you recommend to watch?

... i started this ask then forgot to save it before turning off my phone so uhhh new post I guess.

1. Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)

Dark Comedy about Family and Poison. Cary Grant funny as hell, it shocks me he is seen as pretty leading man when really he is perfect being over the top. Also got a toxic queer coded relationship in this (in my opinion) so it has that going for it.

2. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

Possibly one of the best westerns of all time. I really love it. It's a movie clearly made in the late 1960s they do use modern music, but it blends it so well that in really enhances the piece rather than distracts from it. Also it's wonderfully shot, every time i see a landscape shot i found myself gushing. The land really is it's own character, I adore it.

Also the leads played by Paul Newman and Robert Redford, they are like it man, best duo and really make the movie wonderful.

Marvel movies wish they had what they had.

3. Escape from New York (1981)

An action movie set in a dark world setting, in 1997.... but made in 1981, so it has that bleak gritty feel, but also is just very 80s.

John Carpenter directs and Kurt Russell stars. (His character very much inspired metal gear solid, as his character's name is Snake)

4. Dirty Dancing (1987)

Coming of age romance story. But you could only watch one of the genre have it be dirty dancing. Two people who come from different social classes find themselves having to work together and slowly fall in love.

The movie is from the female leads pov we get to see her truely experience sexuality and what it means to be brave and stand up for what's right.

Every relationship was far more complex and different than what i was expecting and i find myself thinking about the movie all the time.

The dancing is also just incredible. I get so happy thinking about it. If you are in for a movie with romance and surprisingly interesting take on what romance can lead to, please watch it. It is just as good, if not better than people say it is!

5. The Way (2010)

Directed by Emilio Estevez and Starring Martin Sheen, this movie is a beautiful take on love, loss, and what taking a journey truely means.

The story is a father gets a call that his son has passed away while abroad. The two have always been distant and they never got to really reconnect before he died.

His son was just starting the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route and the Dad decides rather spur of the moment to complete the walk himself (this is a very long walk through France and Spain)

It's very emotional charged but also very comfortable of that makes sense. I really should by it on DVD sometime.

I dunno maybe i am biased about a father son story, made by a son and father.

#gilles #this was mostly in general but also #i think you should watch them #i hope i have picked ones you haven't seen

I love how passionate you are about the things you love, the way you throw yourself into subjects you're interested in with your whole self. I admire the way you take the chances to travel around and see the world and meet with people you admire, and it makes me want to be more proactive in traveling too. I'm so glad that we were able to become closer friends after Everything, and I'm very grateful to have gotten to know you better. 💙

Gilles, by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle

Pierre Drieu La Rochelle was a french author of more than a dozen novels and numerous essays and poetry collections. A relentless critic of the French Third Republic, he drifted in every political and artistic current of his time, going from surrealism to socialism to fascism, he refused to ever be tied down to any single movement or ideology. As a surrealist, he traveled in the same circles as Louis Aragon, Gaston Bergery, and André Breton, but eventually fell out with the group over a love dispute. As a Socialist, he briefly flirted with pacifism and was involved with early-pan Europeanist movements, that would later go on to influence the founding of the European Union, however he found the Socialism of Paris entirely too Bourgeoisie, and drifted towards more reactionary ideas, eventually publishing a synthesis of his political thought titled Socialisme fasciste. As a collaborator during the German occupation of France, he petitioned for the release of Jean-Paul Sartre (among other intellectuals) from prison, and helped Jean Paulhan escape capture by the Nazis. For La Rochelle, the turbulent politics of his time were subsumed by an aesthetic disgust with bourgeoisie life, and this theme is present in all of his works. At the end of the war, hiding at the house of his friend André Malraux, he committed suicide by swallowing poison.

Best known in the English speaking world for his book Le Feu Follet, which was adopted into an acclaimed French nouvelle-vague film, Pierre Drieu La Rochelle considered the semi-autobiographical Gilles to be his greatest work. The acclaimed literary critic Gaëtan Picon wrote that Gilles “is, without any doubt, one of the greatest novels of the century—and one of those books in which the disarming sincerity of a man rises to the grandeur usually reserved to literary transpositions.”

The novel begins during the First World War, where the hero Gilles returns from the front after being badly wounded, his regiment having been decimated. Penniless, he asks his friends, the wealthy Falkenberg brothers, for help, only to discover that both of them had died. Their sister, Myriam, falls in love with him and helps him financially; although he does not respond to her love, Gilles accepts her support. He even decides to marry her when her father's death makes her a wealthy heiress. The day after the wedding, he leaves her, joins the army again and has a love affair with a nurse, whom he in turn leaves.After the war, Gilles frequented social circles and profited from his ex-wife's money. More or less unwillingly, he is drawn into a plot against the President of the Republic, Morel, after making friends with Morel's son-in-law, Gilbert de Clérences, and meeting Caël, the leader and almost guru of a dandy political group. The ridicule of intellectuals, the grotesquerie of events, the cowardice and demagoguery of politicians—compounded by the departure of Dora, an American girl he loved—leads him to leave France and seek refuge in Algeria. There he meets a simple, wholesome young girl, Pauline, with whom he experiences a true love affair for the first time. Gilles returns to Paris, however. Still disgusted with society and politics, he starts a newspaper and, after 6 February 1934, decided to join the only ideology capable of radically changing society and regenerating France: Fascism. After the death of Pauline and the child she was expecting, Gilles chooses to be alone, and joins Franco's side in the Spanish Civil War.

Despite his immense standing in the French inter-war literary scene, and his close relations with many of the most prominent writers and intellectuals of his time, Pierre Drieu La Rochelle has, because of his politics, been largely ignored by the Anglo literary establishment. His masterpiece, Gilles, has gone untranslated for the last seventy years… until now. Tikhanov Library has released the first three chapters of Gilles on substack, and is releasing the novel in serialized. We are adding new chapters every week, for free, to the public. You can read the first chapter here:

Spurs (Jeanne d'Arc PSP)

They speak together one last time as they ride from Paris.

"Are you sure, Gilles? Do you regret it?"

"No," he lies. "Don't worry, I can bear it."

She grimaces.

"And what about you, general? Will you regret a life of sheep and straw?"

"Of course not," Jeanne lies.

"It is not too late to turn back. Meet Charles' troops. Receive your full honors."

"Yes, it is," she says promptly. "Honor is nothing. Besides, Jeanne d'Arc is dead."

He smiles. "Then I envy your sheep and straw."

There is nothing she can say to that.

They do not speak again.
