Dealers Among Dealers (1995)
Highly recommended documentary!
This was an excellent, detailed insider look at the diamond dealing industry, from the talented and charismatic Harvey Lieberman! Some parts were just so intense I was on the edge of my seat, some absolutely hysterical, and there were a couple of guys just dripping with pathos. One detail I absolutely loved was the scene with all the diamond cutters at work in the factory, singing boisterously in Hebrew. All around, this was a real-life soap opera, entertaining and educational! I wish Harvey would produce more work as great as this, in front of or behind the camera. Even if you never had any interest in learning about diamond dealing, you've got to see this!
The Electric Grandmother (1982)
A work of art!
This movie was one of my all-time favorites...I loved it so much in my childhood that my mom actually bought it for me on video when I hit my early 20s. I think I cried a few times during the movie; that's how deeply it affected me. And JUST RECENTLY...I mean days ago...I saw an old episode of "Twilight Zone" that obviously preceded the movie. It was the same plot, only there were three children instead of two, and the Grandmother went off to be dismantled after the kids went off to college. The description she gave of what was going to happen to her was reminiscent of dying and reincarnating, even though she promised the kids she would never die! Oh well...I still love the film and would recommend it to anyone with a heart! :-)
