I loved this. Thank you. What Dreams May Come is one of my favorite film precisely because of the sentimentality. I saw it in the movie theatre when it was released. It was 5 years after my brother and both my parents died…I wept and wept at the end. It brought me so much solace then as it does now. 💗

I'm so sorry for your loss. I found this film gave me solace as well, and I'm glad it did the same for you.

I was sentimental enough to be moved by this film years ago - I’m interested to watch it again now. I’m wondering why the Morricone score was replaced!

And by the way, I really enjoy your writing - and I’m not skimming! 😄

Ha, thank you! (I’m just sassy person by nature, I don’t *hate* the skimmers.) But I do so appreciate that you read all the way through! And please give it a go, I do think it’s visually interesting enough to be worth at least few watches.

I will, I think a lot went over my head back then and I’ve also forgotten a lot - love anything with Robin

You didn't even mention Werner Herzog as his dad!

I know! (Well, not his dad... at any rate) There is so much lore and trivia behind this film, I just included the tip of the iceberg!

Is Good Time really only considered good-ish?😱 I liked it way more than uncut gems!

I couldn’t be a bigger fan of GOOD TIME, obsessed! But I’ll never forget when I told a film studio executive that and they responded “… It had some problems.” Once again, shook that not everyone likes what I like.

I have a similar problem 🥴

I knew immediately that you were referencing What Dreams May Come. It was the first time I found myself weeping within the first five minutes of a movie. It was so visually and creatively stunning! The best part for me was Chris reuniting with the family dog. If there aren’t dogs in heaven, I don’t want to go.

I've loved *What Dreams May Come* for years, it's one of the most gorgeous films I've ever seen.

*A River Runs Through It* is another one...
