The Sea Wolves (1980) an old-fashioned war adventure movie in the very best meaning of the term. With Gregory Peck, Roger Moore, David Niven, Trevor Howard, Patrick Macnee. There's a refreshing lack of cynicism

David Lean’s celebrated screen love story Brief Encounter (1945). Two people meet at a railway station and fall in love but they're both already married to other people. In the 1940s an insurmountable obstacle. Still packs an emotional punch.

Wayward Jonah has a chance encounter w/ Yoshka, an eccentric old man who lives in an auto shop junkyard. Yoshka works locked in a garage all day, while putting Jonah to work meaningless tasks in exchange for meager meals. Yoshka eventually let’s him in the secret- he is building a pair of wings & will fly away. He might be a looney but he opens Jonah's eyes to see the spiritual side of things. I loved its melancholic yet warm tone. #AlainTanner #lightyearsaway #TrevorHoward #MickDavis #ireland

Guy Hamilton's Manuela (US title Stowaway Girl), an odd little 1957 British film. An unconventional romance and maritime adventure drama combined. With a great cast headed by Trevor Howard, Donald Pleasence and Elsa Martinelli.

A crusty but kindly middle-aged sea captain falls in love with a beautiful girl stowaway. Insanely romantic and quirky.
