watched a great 1992 film two days ago (totally by chance), called "Toutes peines confondues" by Michel Deville.

It can be watched here for free in 1080p and with English subs:

The Parallel Street (Ferdinand Khittl, 1962)

The Parallel Street (Ferdinand Khittl, 1962)

You listed The Parallel Street twice. So you get one more spot for free.

Ringo Lam, a true master.

THE PRESIDIO (Peter Hyams, 1988) Hyams is a true master, and the machine-gun-fire-like dialogue and characterization, coupled with one of the best chase scenes in film history... The flud camerawork by Hyams himself is as always outstanding and his mastery of pacing and getting fantastic performance...

Yeah, it's hard. I have about 2000 favorites, but I've been doing similar lists a lot over the past 15 years, so one gets used to trimming down again and again.

Ha, I did it!!!!
I finished my list.

also all films should be 70 mins

Absolutely!

Sounds like a must-see! I'd push hard for this one... if only you weren't such a stickler for print quality. Hehe. :D I searched a bit, but couldn't find an upload that didn't look atrocious. So I'll wait till someone releases this in better quality or simply never watch it. ^^ As for why I'm such ...

Deep-dive discovery: Identity Unknown dir. Walter Colmes. One of those heavy-zeitgeist noir burners -- and there isn't even any crime in it! Combat veteran manages his trauma by developing amnesia; his superiors figure out that he's one of four specific people, and he goes to visit the families of ...

Blood on the Moon (Robert Wise, 1948)

A solid noir-western, with great acting by Mitchum and outstanding camerawork. Not one of Wise's best films, though.

Started watching THE NAKED JUNGLE (1953) by Byron Haskin. Still not sure if this wasn't (supposed to be) a 3-D movie... I'm a mere 35 minutes in, but I simply love those early Charlton Heston movies like DARK CITY, PONY EXPRESS, SECRET OF THE INCAS or THE FAR HORIZONS, where it's ok for Heston to be...

Listened to this album 5 times on compact disc today.

Hehe, lucky you!

Simply Red - I'm Gonna Lose You (1987) from Polanski's best film, featuring some of Morricone's best work.

Rewatched SEA OF LOVE (1989) by Harold Becker after 25 years. Still the only Becker I've seen... It's proto-Basic Instinct (including, for no reason, a beaver shot of Barkin...), but the serial killer angle doesn't work - at all. Everything else is pretty much cinema gold. This should have been a ro...

WOOHOO!!!!

Yes, Spieker is somewhat of a dark horse, but most who have seen WILDER REITER GmbH seem to enjoy it. He's not completely unknown and forgotten though - but his films haven't had proper releases and there doesn't seem to have been some surge of interest for him or his work in recent decades (like th...

Each film festival is different. But many have to make money to keep going.

I've also found some films by Franz Winzentsen online, one of my favorite filmmakers, and one of many I forgot to list above.

Unfortunately no English subs, it seems. Maybe on KG?
