Ludwig II - 2012 - Directors: Marie Noelle, Peter Sehr
A compassionate look at the life of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who lived for art and attempted to rule Bavaria according to pacifist principles in the Age of Bismark's Blood and Iron. He was a strong patron of Wagner and an all-around tragic figure.
Looking for Mr. Goodbar - 1977 - Richard Brooks
"...when your night life interferes with your day life."
There's one scene where a club guy introduces cocaine to the protagonist of the film. She says, "What will this do?" He says: "It will make America great again."
OK, I lied, but I couldn't resist. He actually says, "It will make America beautiful."
Catch a glimpse of New York City disco culture and follow the double life of a teacher who frequents various seedy bars and indulges in various 'vices'. This is based on a true story. A remarkably good film. This film was huge in the late 70s.
