The Color Purple
Witness
Prizzi's Honor
Out of Africa
Kiss of the Spider Woman
(It took too long for me to get this roundup together. I guess these are the dog days of the movie project. I still feel bad that I couldn't get to all five movies.)
This is a real mix of movies. 'Witness' is a straight crime movie. 'Prizzi' is a twisted plot driven movie. 'Purple' is a story about abuse and retribution while 'Africa' is an epic of freedom and security on the frontier. Good movies but the only one I thought was great was 'Witness'. 'Africa' won the Best Picture and I think that's reasonable. If you showed this set of movies to 100 people I doubt any movie would top 30% as a favorite.
My favorite music from this set is the barn-raising piece from 'Witness'. The overall score of 'Africa' was wonderful.
