Proof of Life (2000)
I am surprised this film was not better received.
I thought it was a good film. I've watched it 3 times and like it more each time. The love story between Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe's characters was very bittersweet- a wistful longing between two persons who come together by unexpected and difficult circumstances. Meg's character needs Russell Crowe, but he needs her too. He has a loneliness from his lifestyle or has created the lifestyle to avoid dealing with his loneliness. He tries to hold his feelings in check but struggles to do so. And there was action, suspense and some humor as well.
Escape from East Berlin (1962)
I thought this was an interesting as well as entertaining film. This is based on a true story, which made it compelling for me.
I remember seeing this film in the theatre when I was a child and always remembered it. I wish it was available on video/DVD. The black and white film highlights the starkness of life behind the wall. Although this is an old film, I think it has an important message for us to appreciate and safeguard our freedoms.
