Ooh, definitely check out Doctor Zhivago, more Wilder, and It Happened One Night.<br /><br />Those are two of my favorite films.

I also still need to catch up on more of Lean's work, as well as Billy Wilder's. Oh I've been wanting to see It Happened One Night for ages, too.<br /><br />Out of the contemporary films, I LOVE that you included Hanson for L.A. Confidential and Malick, The Thin Red Line, both are astounding!ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-20305103107136651212013-04-03T20:46:36.773-04:002013-04-03T20:46:36.773-04:00Well, Casablanca won the Oscar for '43, despit...Well, Casablanca won the Oscar for '43, despite a late '42 NYC premiere. So, I consider it a '43 release. Also, The Passion of Anna, for instance, was released in '69, but its U.S. release date was in '70.<br /><br />As you can see, my classification system is all over the place. Sometimes I use a foreign release date, and other times I use a U.S. date.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-16828991066250321592013-04-03T20:41:04.459-04:002013-04-03T20:41:04.459-04:00Thanks, Chris.

(something I'm trying to get better at doing).<br />Nice to see love for Leos Carax for Lovers on the Bridge (1991), hopefully adding him here will encourage more people to check out that under-appreciated film.
