From Up On Poppy Hill (2011)

This is another Ghibli movie that is not "magical" or "fantasy". Nor is it in the same class with "Grave of the Fireflies". Its a low-key, slice of life, charming movie about some teenagers saving "the Latin Quarter quarter" (an academic clubhouse) in 1963 Japan.  Targeted at teenagers and adults - its definitely not a kids movie. The animation, Japanese voicing, and soundtrack are all excellent. Ebert called it "bland and boring" but I found it engaging and interesting. But mileage may vary.

Note: As usual, the English Dub isn't very good - Disney once again tries to "jazz it up" but instead just "dumbs it down".

Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr perform "Shall We Dance"

Under the Roof tops of Paris (1930)

Plot:  A Street Musician, his close friend, and a small time gangster all vie for the affections of a pretty Romanian girl.
Stars:  Albert Préjean, Pola Illéry

A charming, engaging movie, made during the transition to sound, its 1/2 silent film, 1/2 talkie. There's a minimum of dialog and there's constant music on the soundtrack. I liked how "real" and heartfelt the movie was. Despite the comic shenanigans, the characters and situations seemed realistic. OTOH,  the story is slight and the characters aren't that memorable. While its somewhat clever and has laugh-out-loud moments - its not at the level of Rene Clair's other famous movies: "Le Million" or "À Nous la Liberté." If those films were  home runs, "Roof Tops" is a stand-up Triple.
