Midnight in Paris, 2011
It’s my only Woody Allen film. I included it because it is truly unique. It’s a wonderful story and I never hear anyone talk about it. Here’an IMDB synopsis.
Gil Pender is a screenwriter and aspiring novelist. Vacationing in Paris with his fiancee, he has taken to touring the city alone. On one such late-night excursion, Gil encounters a group of strange — yet familiar — revelers, who sweep him along, apparently back in time, for a night with some of the Jazz Age’s icons of art and literature. The more time Gil spends with these cultural heroes of the past, the more dissatisfied he becomes with the present.
IMDB
Owen Wilson is engaged to Rachel McAdams and they are vacationing in Paris with her parents. They happen upon her old male friend, whom she would rather go out on the town with Owen and walk the streets of Paris at night.
Owen plays Gil on his nightly mysterious walks, he ventures back in time to the era of the ex-patriates in Paris and meets Gertrude Stein, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Picasso, and more. It’s surreal, obviously.
That’s just the beginning. I love this film. I watch it often. Maybe you’ll like it.
Runner up — this one is huge. Mom is Dearest. This is a cult classic for a reason. It is camp at it’s finest! I love it and watch e very time I see that it’s on tv.
