Answer: Where Do We Go Now?

"Et maintenant on va où?" or "Where Do We Go Now" is the second film by Lebanese director Nadine Labaki. The film is a black comedy set in a remote Middle Eastern village where women of all faiths join together and go to outrageous lengths to find ways to keep the men from learning about religious strife breaking out between Christians and Muslims in the country. Though their antics from hijacking the village radio and television to hiring exotic dancers are hilarious, the film does an excellent job of communicating the religious tensions simmering under the surface.

Answer: Hunt for the Wilderpeople

"Hunt for the Wilderpeople" is a marvellous independent movie starring Sam Neill and Julian Bailey Dennison. It really shows the thinking of the New Zealand people in the simple story of a boy and an old man who hide from the authorities in the wilderness. It is beautifully directed by Taika Waitit, a Maori director, writer and actor. He has directed many quirky films, including "Jojo Rabbit" in 2019. Both the other movies are excellent New Zealand productions.

Answer: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

The film centres around author Juliet Ashton, in postwar London, who travels to Guernsey on learning about "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society", which was hastily formed in 1941 to cover up an illegal liquor still in German-occupied Guernsey.

The film has some dramatic flashbacks to the war, quirky and interesting characters, and an absorbing mystery regarding Elizabeth, the Society's missing founder and mother of the little girl, Kit. Most of all, it is a love story in a truly beautiful setting in the Channel Islands.

Answer: Silence of the Lambs

Unfortunately, the title of this movie belies its true nature. "Silence of the Lambs" is a story about the efforts of a young female FBI agent to solve a string of murders. In the course of the film, we discover that the agent, as a little girl, heard young sheep being slaughtered by a relative of hers. Their cries became a haunting memory throughout her entire life.

Such an experience would have been especially unsettling for Mary of nursery rhyme fame, whose lamb followed her to school.

Answer: The Sixth Sense

This 1999 thriller starred Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis. M. Night Shyamalan wrote and directed the film. He cleverly used the color red every time a ghost would appear in the movie. Most people would probably not notice it on their first viewing. Red could be found in such things as a blanket, shirt, or balloon.

"I see dead people" is perhaps one of the most recognizable movie lines of all time.

Answer: Psycho

Alfred Hitchcock was so eager to film Robert Bloch's book "Psycho" that when Paramount Studio was reluctant to finance it he financed the film himself, while Paramount provided the distribution. The relatively low budget led to it being filmed in black and white and chocolate syrup was determined to give the best depiction of blood for the famous shower slashing scene. Hitchcock waived his usual director's fee in return for a 60% stake in the film negative: a good choice.
