Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
A history professor and his wife entertain a young couple who are new to the university's faculty. As the drinks flow, secrets come to light, and the middle-aged couple unload onto their guests the full force of the bitterness, dysfunction, and animosity that defines their marriage. From TMDB

I can't give you a contemporary analogy because none quite works, but it remains a you-cannot-look-away mindblower. It's rentable in many places; pls don't watch on Tubi.

WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? is a Christmas movie.

Why won't AEW do "The Exorcist" or "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Do The Conglomeration as the cast from "The Town" Lio Rush as "Arthur" Death Riders as "Sharky's Machine"

That plays a role in the climax (no pun intended), but it's more a dysfunctional relationship movie. Maybe it owes a debt to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf or Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. It's so funny. 😂

unlabelledView post →Trying to come up with a few that aren't on the list: Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) - Just a beautifully touching film, with a unique style and a great cameo of Peter Falk as himself. Much better than the English Language remake (City of Angels) Come and See (Idi i smotri) - Hard to watch, but an incredible portrayal of the horrors of war. Not a feel-good film at all. But an amazing feat of filmmaking. My Dinner With Andre - It's ironic that the movie that Roger Ebert referred to…
