Not very romantic, but it's almost always nice to see Brooklyn on film.  James Gray directed and co-wrote, before The Immigrant and The Lost City of Z.

As with Courtship of Eddie's Father, it's hard for me to get into a comedy when I don't find any of the characters interesting or likable, despite a memorable cast.  Joel Schumacher directed.

The title character lusts after his teenage daughter, who also gets comments on her breasts from her older brother and a complete (female) stranger in a restroom!  Oh, and I guess there's something about a housing project, but I was too creeped out to continue.  Rossellini plays the wife & mother.  Matt Tauber wrote and directed.

*Apparently there's an unrelated 2016 Parker Posey movie with this title.
