Yes. I believe I have every movie she's ever done.

If I had to pick a favorite I think it would be "Let's make love"

Her best musical is "Gentlemen prefer Blonds" Best number "Diamonds are a girls best friend, followed up by the little dance number she does at the French cafe.....

Her draw to me is her lovely optimism/s.

Have you heard T-Bone Burnett's version of it? Awesome.

I saw it a few years ago.

It was kind of a take-off on JD Salinger as I remember.

I read "Catcher in the Rye" in High School.

It was about obnoxious prep school boys.

I watched it mainly because I like Sean Connery.

My favorite movie of his is "Robin and Marion" with him and Audry Hepburn as Maid Marion.

It's really a classic IMO.

Quite a departure for Richard Lester. He's more known for fairly odd and sometimes dark comedies like the two "Musketeers" movies with Michael York and Oliver Reed, "The Knack (And How To Get It)", "A Hard Day's Night", "How I Won The War", etc.

If you want to see his weirdest movie, check out "The Bed-Sitting Room". It used to be on YouTube for free but I can't find any that aren't behind a pay wall now.

I don't know anything about this Lester Dude, but Robin and Marion definitely had some subtle dark comedy to it. That's why I liked it.
