Last Ten Films We've Seen: A Little Icelandic Film (plus nine others....)

Greetings to our blog readers around the world, especially those of you in France.

Today, we once again list the last ten films we've seen (actually, that should be 'I've' seen, but 'we' though grammatically incorrect sounds less pompous).....

A little Icelandic film with American funding which was distributed by Sony Pictures (yes, the ones who were the victims of an alleged North Korea cyber attack) was the very last film we watched this week (see middle image, an Icelandic geyser), but we also squeezed in time for "A Man Called Adam," which stars the late Sammy Davis Jr. (pict. top) and "Pretty Maids All in a Row," a favorite film of Quentin Tarantino which stars the late Rock Hudson and Angie Dickinson (pict. bottom):

Here is the list:

1) Land Ho! Iceland (in English). 2014. Directors: Aaron Katz and Martha Stevens.

2) The Innkeepers. 2011. Director: Ti West.

3)  A Man Called Adam. 1966. Dir: Leo Penn

8) Albert Nobbs. 2011. Dir: Rodrigo Garcia.
