Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and also try Outsourced. The latter is a very funny touching film about a guy who has to go to India to train a call center and ends up falling in love with one of his employees and with the country.

Dante, huh? Nice.Originally Posted by LongTermGuy
The Count of Monte Cristo synopsis / Plot..
"At the age of nineteen, Edmond Dantès seems to have the perfect life. He is about to become the captain of a ship, he is engaged to a beautiful and kind young woman, Mercédès, and he is well liked by almost everyone who knows him. This perfect life, however, stirs up dangerous jealousy among some of Dantès’s so-called friends. Danglars, the treasurer of Dantès’s ship, envies Dantès’s early career success; Fernand Mondego is in love with Dantès’s fiancée and so covets his amorous success; his neighbor Caderousse is simply envious that Dantès is so much luckier in life than he is.
Together, these three men draft a letter accusing Dantès of treason. There is some truth to their accusations: as a favor to his recently deceased captain, Dantès is carrying a letter from Napoleon to a group of Bonapartist sympathizers in Paris. Though Dantès himself has no political leanings, the undertaking is enough to implicate him for treason. On the day of his wedding, Dantès is arrested for his alleged crimes.
The deputy public prosecutor, Villefort, sees through the plot to frame Dantès and is prepared to set him free. At the last moment, though, Dantès jeopardizes his freedom by revealing the name of the man to whom he is supposed to deliver Napoleon’s letter. The man, Noirtier, is Villefort’s father. Terrified that any public knowledge of his father’s treasonous activities will thwart his own ambitions, Villefort decides to send Dantès to prison for life. Despite the entreaties of Monsieur Morrel, Dantès’s kind and honest boss, Dantès is sent to the infamous Château d’If, where the most dangerous political prisoners are kept.
While in prison, Dantès meets Abbé Faria, an Italian priest and intellectual, who has been jailed for his political views. Faria teaches Dantès history, science, philosophy, and languages, turning him into a well-educated man. Faria also bequeaths to Dantès a large treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo, and he tells him how to find it should he ever escape. When Faria dies, Dantès hides himself in the abbé’s shroud, thinking that he will be buried and then dig his way out. Instead, Dantès is thrown into the sea, and is able to cut himself loose and swim to freedom........................"

I have a movie now, called "Old 37" that I'm going to watch. I'm a horror movie fanatic, or thriller movies. This one sounds a little demented, which is just like me.
Disguised as paramedics, two psychopaths intercept 911 calls in an ambulance known as Old 37 and prey on unsuspecting teenage victims. But when a shy girl-next-door becomes their latest target, she turns the tables on her captors to fight for her survival. Hailed as "a blood-soaked, slasher fan's wet dream" by Dread Central, and "Jaws on the interstate" by iHorror.

More needle in haystack: Barry Lyndon.
Plant Parenthood.
That ban was lifted like 15 years ago, following Kubricks death.
As for movies to watch:
More mainstream - Mad Max or The Martian.
Lesser mainstream - Vicky Christina Barcelona, Hard Candy, or Fargo.
Lesser known again - The Skin I Live In, The Guard, or Q.
All are 10/10 if they're in genres you engage with.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

Ok Christie: all of Stanley Kubricks films.
