Lovers and Other Strangers (1970)

American romantic comedy film. It's about a young couple's upcoming wedding that's being overshadowed by family drama. The cast plays well off each other and there are some fun character dynamics. We also get a few recognizable faces in this movie, although for me there were more unfamiliar ones. Bea Arthur, Bonnie Bedelia, Michael Brandon, Richard S. Castellano, Bob Dishy, Harry Guardino, Anne Jackson, Diane Keaton (in her first role), Cloris Leachman, Anne Meara (with Jerry Stiller in a smaller, uncredited role) and more. And also Sylvester Stallone as an extra in a blink-and-you-miss-it scene as a wedding guest. Overall I thought this was a good movie but nothing I'd ever rewatch.

As you might've guessed this is the start of my Diane Keaton memorial week. This was her first movie and while her character is mentioned a lot it takes quite a while for her to actually show up. But as soon as she's on screen she stands out. Felt like she was already an established movie actor at that time but she'd only been in some plays. I no longer wonder how she got cast for The Godfather so soon after her movie career started. She sure was talented and immediately showed it off.

Baby Boom (1987)

American comedy-drama film. It's about a yuppie who discovers that a long-lost cousin has died, leaving her a 14-month-old baby girl as inheritance. Diane Keaton was very good in this. The two twin sisters who played the baby were fun as well. Good supporting cast (Harold Ramis, Sam Shepard, James Spader, Chris Noth and more). Overall it's of course very "of its time" but I enjoyed it so I can recommend it.

The Family Stone (2005)

American comedy-drama film. It's about an uptight businesswoman who accompanies her boyfriend to his eccentric and outgoing family's annual Christmas celebration and finds that she's a fish out of water in their free-spirited way of life. Very good cast (Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson, Dermot Mulroney, Luke Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Sarah Jessica Parker and more) but the material they had to work with didn't really work in my opinion. It's too overwhelming and chaotic with not much being funny about it. The characters are being way too harsh to the new person for it to be realistic that it goes on for so long. In reality it wouldn't have taken that long for either the boyfriend or her to just leave. Overall I didn't really enjoy this so I can't recommend it.

Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977)

American drama film. It's about a schoolteacher who spends her nights in bars, looking for men with whom she can engage in progressively dangerous extreme sexual encounters. This is very much about sexual liberation and was probably more than a bit controversial at the time for how direct it is and all the stuff it shows. It was also based on/inspired by the 1973 murder of the schoolteacher Roseann Quinn and this movie finished on the main character being raped and stabbed to death. So definitely not light entertainment. Diane Keaton was brilliant in the main role and the supporting cast of Tuesday Weld, William Atherton and more is also good, but it was also the first big movie (and/or among the first two or three movies they were in) for Richard Gere, LeVar Burton, Tom Berenger and Brian Dennehy. So yeah, very good cast in a powerful movie that I can highly recommend.

28 Years Later (2025) 👍🏻

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (S02) 👍🏻

Annie Hall (1977)

American satirical romantic comedy-drama film. It's about a divorced comedian who reflects on his relationship with his ex-lover, which ended abruptly just like his previous marriages. Diane Keaton was great in this, I mean the role written specifically for her. Woody Allen just acts like Woody Allen, and I don't like Woody Allen. But I gotta say that he's not as much of an obnoxious, annoying little "look at me, I'm such a dweeb" type as he is in other movies I've seen him in. So with that in mind (and Diane Keaton's award-winning performance) I gotta say, it's not that bad. It certainly won't be me but some people might even like this movie. Personally I can't recommend it, though.

The Little Drummer Girl (1984)

American spy drama film. It's about an American actress who is forcibly recruited by the Israeli intelligence agency to trap a Palestinian terrorist by pretending to be the girlfriend of his dead brother. I didn't really read up on what this movie was about before I watched it so I was surprised by how very topical it is. Diane Keaton was of course very good in this and we also got a few surprising faces in this like Klaus Kinski, Bill Nighy, David Suchet and John le Carré (the authour of the novel this is based on) himself. Overall I thought it was very well made but of course controversial due to what it's about, so I can't recommend it to everyone.
