Re: [Videolib] More Friday afternoon trivia

Hi Gary,

Great list! Two of my favorites that I haven't seen mentioned yet are A Man of No Importance (1994) w/ Albert Finney and Paul Cox's A Woman's Tale (1991).

Olivier Assayas' recent film Summer Hours (2008) should probably be on the list too.

 

 

Best,
Alex

SUBJECT:   [Videolib] More Friday afternoon trivia

Hi all

Yeah, it's Friday and I'm fried.  I'm amusing myself by putting together a
videography of features that feature old folk (no cracks from any of you,
either)as central characters.  Here's what I've come up with so
far...surprised that I can't come up with more:

Remember:  I really only want titles where elderly (aged, senior, etc etc)
person(s) is a central and/or plot-driving figure.

Cheers...

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in li braries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
