A 1950 Hollywood drama, directed by Billy Wilder, about a struggling screenwriter and a forgotten delusional actress who gives him a job. She believes he'll play into her fantasy (or reality) while he just wants to make a quick buck out of her, but wrestles with his conscience.
Pretty good. An excellent commentary on obsession, isolation and the loneliness of Hollywood. The closing scenes of the movie really take the cake; they make you feel like you're watching an epic human story.
A 1922 German silent movie based on Dracula. Watchable only if you enjoy following the evolution of cinema and look at the movie in this context. Otherwise it can be really boring.
Have you seen either of these movies? Do you have any thoughts about them?

Yep! Sunset Boulevard is superb...
Check out Billy Wilder's other movies if you can - A Foreign Affair, Some Like It Hot, and Witness for the Prosecution (1957) - all excellent movies.
Thanks! Will do...

Hmmm...simple and sweet isn't exactly my forte, but I'm sure you'd appreciate 'To Catch a Thief' & 'Wall-E'. They're both sweet Rom-Coms with a little drama thrown in :-)
