---these are a few if the films I have watched in November:
Dracula (2000) Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer, Justine Waddell, & a whole lot of other actors. My last movie of Oct. And my annual Holloween film. The scenes in New Orleans French Quarter with the celebration is a highlight. Perfect to answer the door and pass out treats, and see the local goblins. You can miss whole parts and it won't make any difference. Haha 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0219653/
Our Dancing Daughters (1928 silent) Joan Crawford, Anita Page, Johnny Mack Brown. Joans first big break. There are sound effects and music but no dialog. But she dances up a storm as a rich society girl in a cat fight over a man both want. Page is her adversary and Brown the guy. Fun. 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019237/
Our Modern Maidens (1928 silent) Joan Crawford, Anita Page, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Rod La Rocque. More flapper fun, but a little more serious. Joan and Anita want the same guy again, and Page ends up pregnant. A quick marriage and Joan suffering, and eventually finds the right guy's arms. 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020247/
The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1964) Ingrid Bergman, Omar Sharif, Shirley MacLean, George C. Scott, Art Carney, Rex Harrison, Jeanne Moreau. Three stories involving people with a car. The first story is about the purchase of the brand new car, just arrived at the London dealership, by Lord Frinton for his wife. She is having an affair with a flunkey in her husbands office. Naughty things in the back seat of the Rolls make hubby very unhappy. He has the car returned to the dealer.
After a dozen years the car ends up in Italy during the 1930's where an American gangster and his 'fiance' rent it to sight see the Riviera. Scott, as Maltese, has to go back to the States and that leaves his doll and henchman to get into mischief, which they do. Scott returns and figures things out and gets rid of the car.
Which turns up in Yugoslavia just in time to help the resistance get organized at the start of WWII. With the help of Gerda Millet(Bergman) and her little dog, Sharif gets the men all ferried up to the mountain stonghold. Where love again happens in the back seat of our Rolls. But by now Gerda has to get back to the States to spread the word about the Nazis. Not bad for a film whose only connecting thread is where the Yellow Rolls will show up next. Stars are all fine. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059927/
