When Dickie was saying "Mongie," he was referring to leaving the village they were living in, Mongibello.

I'd never seen this before and I must have missed something cuz I was gonna say that I thought that the impersonations would play a bigger role in this, but maybe I missed a scene or something. Mr Ripley seems like he could grow up into Hannibal Lecter.

Great movie choice, great reaction! When this movie was being filmed both Gwyneth Paltrow (Margie) and Cate Blanchett (Meredith) were nominated for best Actress Oscars (GP for Shakespear in Love and CB for Elizabeth - both great films) and Gwyneth won -I always wondered if it was awkward to go back to work together afterward. Cate went on to win 2 acting Oscars herself. This had such a great cast! Jude Law was such a cutie back then - I love him in this and the Christmas movie the Holiday (already putting in my bid for Christmas 2024 lol).

This was good. I have never really watched it all the way through. Has anyone suggested Boardwalk Empire as a series? Thanks as always A&B ❤️

A & B, Thank you so much for the reaction. Priceless reactions, as always. Asia, you nailed it on Freddie! I love watching movies with you guys. I really hope you enjoyed this Academy Award nominated film that many folks don’t know about. Matt Damon is freaky as f**k, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law….amazing roles. I hope other folks enjoy this movie. Love y’all!!! —-Ross

Great info! I knew this was based on a book and I was always curious to read it. But I didn’t know it was a series of books!

Glad you liked it, A & B!
I had to crack up a bit at your reactions; BJ just sitting there like "nope..." and Asia's expression shifting between OMG! and WTF?!
Classic. 😆
Anyhow, I love how creepy this movie is. It has just the right amount of tension and suspense. And the acting is all superb. I think the movie was nominated for several Oscars, including a best supporting for Jude Law.
The movie pulls heavily from a French film called Plein Soleil which has many of the same artistic themes and framing and is also based on the same book from 1955 by an author named Patricia Highsmith. She has some really good books, for those interested. There is actually 5 books in her Tom Ripley series.
Another of these books was made into a movie called RIPLEY'S GAME starring John Malkovich (Teddy "KGB" in Rounders) as Ripley. It's also quite good.
They are also in works to make a television series called RIPLEY that follows the murderous adventures of Tom Ripley.
And Asia,...
Matt Damon did indeed both sing and play the piano in this movie. That was really him singing!

Great little jem of a flick. My dad and I dig this movie. Every time it comes on our pay channels, my husband and I always laugh when Dickie tells him he’s BORING. Because Tom Ridley is indeed a boring, creepy little leech.

It was a good movie. Mat Damon played the role well. Creepy role for him though.

Tom Ripley is a psychopath, but I think he refuses to see himself as he truly is, so he’s trying to create an identity for himself. He’s a creature of opportunity, and Dickie was a jackpot of an opportunity.

YES!!!
You two are so awesome!
And a big thanks to whomever requested this!
I was right in the middle of watching Harry Potter and had to switch over to this movie. It's one of my all time favorites and I think it's arguably Matt Damon's best acting performance.
Thanks for this one! I'm going to love watching this with you and I hope you like it!

Wow! In the middle of watching Harry Potter I get a notification with another film upload. And it's a movie I actually love. Thank you guys so much. As soon as I'm done with Harry Potter I'm going to put on the talented Mr Ripley. You guys are on fire with your film uploads. I'm loving it
