Nothing But the Best 5/5


This was strongly recommended to me by a Brit, and I loved it, almost rewatched it immediately, and went on to buy/steal this original "quad poster" off the artist's family via the internet. 

First to review it on Letterboxd!

Sublime! The first 2min aren't so hot, but stick around. Omigosh, I wanted to rewatch it immediately, that hasn't happened forever. If you like Whit Stillman, or Roger Dodger def check this out, great rapid fire dialogue, great English class commentary. So much better than something like Darling w/ Julie Christie. Yes, it's a young man's fantasy, but a female reviewer on amazon.co.uk said "is it not more popular because it's too perfect? 5 stars!"

So many great lines, watched it over my Saturday morning coffee and was glowing all day long. DVD isn't out till June, but it's streaming here http://www.rarefilmm.com/2014/03/nothing-but-best-1964.html
