Over time, Neflix has determined that I especially enjoy "Midlife Crisis Comedies," and Dramas, Comedies, and Romantic Comedies "featuring a Strong Female Lead" and continues to suggest incredible films that fit these bills.
A while back, I watched a movie called "Under the Tuscan Sun." For any woman of any age, if you have ever had the urge or fantasy to just leave it all behind and start your life over somewhere else, this movie is a must-see.
Trailer for "Under The Tuscan Sun":
This film evidently became a starting point for my intimate relationship with Netflix. I began to receive some interesting suggestions - movies that, according to my interest in "Under the Tuscan Sun," I might enjoy. Since then, each choice to view a film and rate it has led to additional, very appropriate suggestions.
At times, I've stretched out of my comfort zone. For example, I no longer mind subtitles at all. Limiting my movie choices to English language films was limiting my world.
I now love movies about women in foreign countries (especially oppressed ones) who rise above and revel in their own personal victories.
I love watching them take charge of their lives...finding their paths...finding true happiness. Isn't this, universally, what we all long for?
Here are some of my favorites:
"In Therapy"
"Caramel"

(give this one about 10 seconds to load...it starts off all scrambled but then comes into focus...)

Based on the trailer, I am going to *love* this film. I'll keep you posted.
Have you seen any of these movies? What types of movies do you tend to gravitate toward? How do they make you feel?
Namaste.
