Why watch this film?
Who would have thought that a random story read by a grandfather to his grandson could become one of the most beloved films of generations? This is the feat achieved by the acclaimed 'The Princess Bride', a delightful classic movie in the style of the afternoon session. With an unstable journey, full of ups and downs, the Princess (Robin Wright) goes through real hardships after being abandoned by her beloved and falling into the hands of a despot. There are clumsy pirates, ninjas climbing mountains, giants... It's a story of fantasy and love, out of the ordinary, and it has the power to awaken the imagination of each one. Even more so when we remember that it all comes from a grandfather working his creativity to entertain his grandson, not very fond of books, on any given night. To watch and rewatch.

LBJ
Woody Harrelson looks impeccable and unrecognizable as former US President Lyndon B. Johnson, who took office after the death of John F. Kennedy. As a biopic it's not a great movie, but in terms of historical and political context, it works really well. Showing the landscape of the US after Kennedy's death.
Stand By Me
This is a small movie, with a modest but relevant and touching story. Inspired by Stephen King's short novel, 'The Body', 'Stand By Me' has developed a certain cult status since its release that has inspired generations (series like 'Stranger Things' owe much to King and this particular movie). In addition, it has in its cast young actors who developed great careers years later, such as Kiefer Sutherland, Wil Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell.
When Harry Met Sally
They don't make romantic comedies like they used to and 'When Harry Met Sally' is proof of that. Like many productions from the 1980s and 1990s, it has become dated and the idealization of the male protagonist ends up being out of tune, yet it is possible to forgive. Even though the story is obvious, you spend the whole movie rooting for and against Harry (Billy Crystal), since the character is really annoying and the actor is not very charismatic, but deep down he manages to captivate you in some way. Sally (Meg Ryan) is the typical girl who never gets along with anyone and takes a long time to realize that she has already met the love of her life, the actress is perfect in the role. But, who steals the show is the best friend, played by the great Carrie Fisher. Without a doubt, she is one of the best parts of the production. 'When Harry Met Sally' is very funny and has the memorable scene of Ryan pretending to have an orgasm in a restaurant.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction
In the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen, a young, self-appointed expert on love, Mr. Cazotte, is hired by the scheming Grand Duchess to help her secure an heir. While searching for a suitable future Princess, Mr Cazotte teaches the timid and introverted Crown Prince Lothar the art of seduction and lovemaking. But their plan soon backfires, when an heir is conceived out of wedlock and the royal family has to seek refuge in the castle of Rosenbad. Here, as rivals within the royal family close in on their scheme, Cazotte himself falls in love with Ehrengard, the maid of honor, and gradually learns that in fact, he's no expert on love at all.
The Strange Case of a Claustrophobic Ghost
A Mexican children's horror production aiming to evoke the awe-inspiring sensations typical of Steven Spielberg... with mixed results. The Strange Case of a Claustrophobic Ghost tells the story of siblings Nikolaj and Emil who, along with their friend Ximena, discover that there's a ghost living in a closet of their new home, and they decide to help it resolve a lingering issue so it can rest in peace. There are very clever moments, making it a good movie to introduce kids to horror cinema. However, for more experienced viewers, it doesn't conceal any surprises.
Timescape
Two children discover a ship that turns out to be a time machine and accidentally travel back to the era of dinosaurs. Now they must repair the ship in a race against the clock before the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs hits the Earth. That is the simple premise of Timescape (formerly known as De Volta aos Dinossauros), an adventure movie for kids (think 65 with Adam Driver, but for kids). The movie has everything a dinosaur-loving child could dream of and is exactly its target audience. It's pure family entertainment with no major aspirations.
