Solstice fishing .... and a three-great-movie quiz

Well, I spent most of yesterday massaging my CV to make it fit
(sometimes rather vaguely, perhaps) a finely varied mess of vacancy
announcements, then sending them off.

So I'm now something like caught up on the job hunting front, and it's
sunny and bright outside, not too damn cold.... I'm off to the Crooked
River to show some dries to the spunky little rainbows there....

While I'm gone, try this: not the three greatEST movies, perhaps, but
all great and all personal favorites:

- Nashville
- Amarcord
- Local Hero

What do they have in common?

A set of three #16 bhpt nymphs to the person who posts the first correct
answer.

They're all considered auteur masterpieces, and none of them won the
Academy Award for best director?

I know that's pretty thin, but it's the best I could do.

You seem tutto peso with things Italian. Two more lightweight,
lighthearted films I'd recommend are 'Ieri, Oggi, Domani' with Loren and
Mastroianni, and the more recent 'Bread and Tulips'.

You need to run, don't walk, to your local video rental place....

All three have--and it's one of my favorite parts of each--a mystery
motorcyclist who drives through several scenes.

Actually headed there in a few minutes. "Things Italian. . . ." Yeah, its
like discovering candy. I always liked Fellini in that Village Voice kind of
way, and NJ upbringing made Sopranno's seem like a documentary, but then I
saw "My Italian Journey" and it put Rosselini, De Sica et al in perspective.
And the journey into irregular verbs, obscure verbal modes, articles,
prepositions etc continues. I figure Ill be able to curse effectively and
ornately in the nursing home in Italian at the rate Im going.

Here's a fun movie recommendation: "Crane World," Argentine. A wanna-be
crane operator, ex rock and roller, negotiates middle age with the help of a
few of his friends. (Italian accented Spanish, w/ English subtitles).
Seriously.

Great TR and pix by the way.
