The Machine, making me choose between Rear Window and the 400 Blows is agonizing, but The 400 Blows it is! (Although if I could recommend you any film you haven't seen, it would be North by Northwest because... it's... awesome!) Here are the films: 1.) La Dolce Vita Oh god it's three hours 2.) Les Enfants du Paradis 195 minutes please don't make me watch this fuuuuck 3.) Breathless I've just never had a context for watching this, it's even short i like short movies 4.) Night of the Hunter Again, no excuse at all, I just don't know anyone who watches this stuff 5.) Ordet Honestly I've never even heard anyone reference this one before so who knows??? 6.) L'Avventura Dunno anything about it!!! 7.) Persona I've only seen the Seventh Seal but it was sort of boring but prove me wrong!!! 8.) Andrei Rublev Nooooo 185 minutes noooooo 9.) It's a Wonderful Life I can't believe I haven't seen this 10.) The Magnificent Ambersons I was waiting for them to find the original cut I got my films from this ranking which has proved pretty good in the past, check it No Wave fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Jun 6, 2010 |

Nroo, you have an assload of great movies on that list. I'm gonna have to go with Tokyo Story, just because Vertigo is better the more Hitchcock you've watched (although it's amazing on every viewing). While I was gone, I watched La Dolce Vita by my own volition and Night of the Hunter as recommended. La Dolce Vita, I think, would have been better to watch a decade ago than now. I'm now so instantly suspicious of glamor, and was so exhausted from empty partying when I watched it, that I became extremely detached from Guido. It felt like I already knew what he needed to learn, and he was never really capable of surprising me. Night of the Hunter was beautiful, of course. The shot of the children's mother in the car underwater getting caught by a fishhook was pretty unforgettable. I didn't quite understand the resolution, however, and why Mitchum ended up being tripped up by a cat, running away in a manner most easily compared with Daffy Duck. It was excellent, it's just not quite something that moved me. What did, however, was Hitchcock's Notorious. Holy poo poo, this movie was loving amazing. It has that unbelievable cinematography, but also one of the most brutal romances I've ever seen. I cannot recommend this film highly enough - it's my new favorite. Here's my list: 1.) Les Enfants du Paradis 195 minutes please don't make me watch this fuuuuck 2.) Breathless I've just never had a context for watching this, it's even short i like short movies 3.) Ordet Honestly I've never even heard anyone reference this one before so who knows??? 4.) L'Avventura Dunno anything about it!!! 5.) Persona I've only seen the Seventh Seal but it was sort of boring but prove me wrong!!! 6.) Andrei Rublev Nooooo 185 minutes noooooo 7.) It's a Wonderful Life I can't believe I haven't seen this 8.) The Magnificent Ambersons Also short, hell yeah 9.) Ugetsu Monogatari I need more Japan in my life 10.) Jules et Jim Loved the 400 Blows, want more Truffaut in my life No Wave fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Aug 4, 2010 |

Skutter posted:I didn't find it tragic. I thought it was great that he included that in his writing. It was very different for the times, which I can appreciate. Especially the fact that he had her and the nurse climb a fence while wearing dresses, had them digging around in a garden for a dead body and then had Kelly climb up the side of a building and break into the killer's apartment. Crazy for the times. It's funny you mention all that because I was talking about that with my husband last night (seeing it all before so you don't enjoy the original) and I don't think that has anything to do with it. I can appreciate the old stuff just as well as the new; I just didn't like the movie.
