Re: Pearl in the Crown (1972) vs. Blush (1995)
Ok I'll vote for blush X1995 Its the one that made me cry :( I don't remember how Blush ends, but didn't anyone here wipe away a tear or two when the battle's finally over, the half-dead men emerge totally black from the pit, and then, in those dialogue-free final moments, our hero is washed clean ...

Sorry, I've not been active on here.
Been busy with a new job. I'm gonna get these three in, though, promise! (And catch up on the ones unseen from previous rounds).

Dang it. I thought I had another day, and planned on watching the ones I needed to see today. Oh well. I'll watch them in due time, even though I can no longer vote.

Re: Letterboxd Stats showdown: Buster Keaton/Charlie Chaplin
You know what'd be hilarious? If Limelight topped both of their lists. I know it won't happen, but.. I don't use Letterboxd, so, I can't participate, but it'd probably be on the top for me for both of them, Keaton for sure.

Seen 7 (5 features) from Resnais
1 Night and Fog
2. Last Year at Marienbad
It appears I've not seen anything from Kautner. I don't use Letterboxd or IMDb, and there's no list on I Check Movies, so, there's really no easy way for me to find out.

Re: The Makioka Sisters (1983) vs. Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962)
Requiem was one of those self-consciously 'realistic' early 60s joints, like The Pawnbroker or A Hatful Of Rain ('57), that get a little on my nerves for their earnest heavyhandedness. I get this feeling you are going to HATE my first choice for 1965. :lol: We shall see shortly, I suppose. I guess ...

It sure would be nice if peeps expanded on what they found interesting/liked/disliked/reacted to in these movies. Or we can stick with the concise x#### format, whatever. Honestly, I have a hard time really articulating what I like or dislike about most films. Even to the point of assigning an arbi...
