I think what Aim-JE was meaning was that, while GOSFORD PARK was set in England, and (I believe) filmed there also, the director was USAmerican, so perhaps it's not exactly a British film. I think (not certain) that, technically, what determines whether a movie is this or that nationality, is determined more by the production company or companies behind it, as opposed to nationality of director, players, settings, etc. I'm thinking in terms of awards categories and eligibility. Anyway, perhaps that's what Aim-JE was referring to.
Multiplex: 100+ shows a day, NONE worth watching. John Sayles' latest: NO distribution. SAD. -

Oh I get it, okay thanks for helping me understand. I agree I think that's what he meant. Personally I've always felt like british film is more about the feel then the production company or director. Although there is BBC films, other films I feel classify as british film. I guess I'm wrong in this but I just feel like it makes more sense.
Have a good new year.

well i watched GOSFORD PARK.. although i liked it. it was beautifully executed but at places i felt it carried too much style with it. i mean i cud hardly ssee any characters growing. and the ending was nothing too exciting.

THE MUSIC LOVERS is like being a fly on the wall..Outradeou, intimate,ironic and funny, equally horrifying with the greatest music , camera work and design .What Glenda Jackson does here is not to be believed.Might be Ken Russell most personal masterpiece.

This is where I leave you
(2014).
I was surprised to see them releasing this movie in the same year as AOC; it has similar themes of bereavement and the mourning bringing a family together to implode in a similar fashion. -

My favorite tear-jerkers are:
Steel Magnolias
(the one with Julia Roberts and Sally Fields)
Always
The Color Purple
Phenomenon
Stepmom
Now Is Good
Once Around
Message in A Bottle
(this one will leave you looking for a razor blade & a good vein)
AI
(Artificial Intelligence)
Return to Me
Mother and Child
(VERY underratedcheck it out)
Phantom of the Opera
(Gerard Butler & Emmy Rossum)
I only watch these when I'm in the need of a very cathartic of afternoon of sobbing in the shower.
I haven't decided whether or not to watch "If I Stay." Even the preview made me cry, so I don't think I will.
Great list, allI will be giving a lot of these a shot!!

I found it very similar to John Cassavete's A Woman Under he Influence (1974) it almost feels like Cassavetes directed himself..
It has the same kind of thick family drama with the same kind of acting. -

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, without a doubt.
Dysfunctional family with secrets, intense performances, superb acting and dialogue. They both take place in mostly one setting, which I love because it makes it claustrophobic and ramps up the tension.
I think there is a lot of Tennessee Williams in August: Osage Country. I wasn't surprised to learn that the playwright was inspired by his works. -

^^I second this. A 'must see', but not a lot of dark humor.
