“English Subtitles Version! Drama / LGBT! Les amitiés particulières is a 1964 film adaptation of the Roger Peyrefitte novel Les amitiés particulières directed by Jean Delannoy. It stars Francis Lacombrade as Georges, Didier Haudepin as Alexandre and Michel Bouquet as Père de Trennes.
The movie is mostly true to the novel, changing only relatively minor plot points such as Alexandre’s suicide from poisoning to death by throwing himself from a train. Also, Alexandre in the movie is brown-haired, not blond, which also removes some of the inside jokes between Alexandre and Georges which are present in the book.
On the set of the film, Peyrefitte, who was 57-years-old at the time, met the 12-year-old aristocrat

I remember being infatuated by this movie, as it’s VHS box sat on the shelf of our local library…It’s cover featured Noah Hathaway…who I had a substantial crush on…Apparently, I had forgotten about us checking this one out…I’d always remembered the picture on the box…Always wanted to watch it…Then I just did, and I recall…that I have seen this.

I’ve stopped using the embedding code, that sidesteps the YouTube age verification.
Potentially, you’ve noticed that a lot of the embedded videos from YouTube are all giving a playback error?
For years, I’ve used the embedding code that is supposed to let anyone watch a video outright, without worrying about logging into YouTube to verify their age…This was done as a courtesy to my visitors.
As always…YouTube has recently made changes to their website…and from the looks of it, they’ve disabled this method of embedding…whether intentional, or not.
This means for me, that I have already dropped the usage of it…To be honest, it was annoying having to deal with a few things about it, anyway…I’m glad to be done with it.
But, now a ton of embedded videos won’t play on this blog…Fortunately, this is why I’ve always included a direct link to the YouTube video page…So, there should be no real issue…Just click on the link…Watch it on YouTube.
Born of Hope is an independent feature film inspired by the Lord of the Rings and produced by Actors at Work Productions in the UK.
A scattered people, the descendants of storied sea kings of the ancient West, struggle to survive in a lonely wilderness as a dark force relentlessly bends its will toward their destruction. Yet amidst these valiant, desperate people, hope remains. A royal house endures unbroken from father to son.
This 70 minute original drama is set in the time before the War of the Ring and tells the story of the Dúnedain, the Rangers of the North, before the return of the King. Inspired by only a couple of paragraphs written by Tolkien in the appendices of the Lord of the Rings we follow Arathorn and Gilraen, the parents of Aragorn, from their first meeting through a turbulent time in their people’s history.”

Considering that these were fan made movies…It’s really quite impressive what they did here. It would be nice to see them make more of these.
“Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio lived his life as he painted it; full of intensity, sensuality and passion. But at the height of his success in the early 17th century, his violent nature and his unrelenting love for Fillide Melandroni, a prostitute with a dark past, led to his tragic downfall. This Italian biopic stars Alessio Boni as the legendary, tortured artist.”
NOTE: SnagFilms appears to be on the frits, right now…I’ve been setting on this post for at least a week. I’m posting this post, but it’s hard to say if, or when, you’ll be able to watch this movie on their website.
