Rest in peace Alain Delon. I keep adding new to me movies. He was a great actor
I just saw that he had passed. Rest in peace Mr. Delon.
Happy birthday, Alain Delon!
i saw 2 including 2 of top 3. missed texas across the river. no 10s, no 9s, no favorites. my aversion to subtitles has deprived me of much great cinema. before UMR , i had seen only 10 foreign films, now i am close to 25. i added 3 to watchlist for Alain thanks to UMR’s great commenters.
