A Dan&Blair&Movies Appreciation Post
Les Vacances de M. Hulot (1953) [English subtitles]“I was gonna catch Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday at the Walter Reade. Try to cheer myself up.”“Oh. Well, I do enjoy myself some Tati. Although I suppose if you’re trying to improve your mood that my coming with you would defeat that purpose.”“It is pretty funny. Even you couldn’t kill that much comedy.”Rosemary’s Baby (1968)“Mm. How… how are you doing with all that?”“Uh… just seeking refuge with the perfect anti-Valentine’s Day movie… Rosemary’s Baby.”“What part are you at? I’ll watch with you. Forgive me if I’ve memorized some of Ruth Gordon’s dialogue. Uh, okay, all of it.”The Philadelphia’s Story (1940)“Tonight he’s thinking about a different girl. And meanwhile, I lost my job, I failed a test… I almost got my best friend’s mother arrested! And I’m in Brooklyn. Talking about it to Dan Humphrey.”“Uh, well, I’m about to order some pizza, if you wanna stay.”[And then they watch TPS!]Sabrina (1954)[Louis’ wedding vows written by Dan] “In the film Sabrina, Audrey Hepburn said ‘I have learnt how to live… how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch and I will never, never again run away from life or from love, either.’ While it may sound a bit strange, I feel the same way as Sabrina. And it’s because of you, Blair Waldorf. You have taught me how to live, how to enjoy everything the world has to offer. You have brought out this side of me I never thought existed. Before you, I did not truly know how to live. I was expected to be a certain kind of person. But the truth is, that person was someone I didn’t actually like that much…” Le Notti di Cabiria (1957)“With you, she was always caught up in schemes and takedowns. But that’s not really her. She’s intelligent, she’s intuitive. You know? She weeps when she watches Nights of Cabiria.”The Landlord (1970)”Listen, if the castle gets lonely, um, you want to watch a movie with a friend?”“I already copied your queue. Our e-mail discourse begins Monday with Hal Ashby’s The Landlord. And we’ll take it from there.”Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)Serena’s dream sequence - 5.13Directed by Claude Chabrol: Les Cousins (1959) [English subtitles]Directed by Éric Rohmer: La Collectionneuse (1967) [English subtitles](Both of them have have directed and written tons of films.
