For the last 3 years I taught a Film History & Appreciation class at a community college in the U.S. Every semester I showed a different set of films (repeating only The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Meshes of the Afternoon). At the midpoint and last day of each semester I asked my students to rat...

Seen 13

1. A Man Escaped
2. Pickpocket
3. Diary of a Country Priest
4. Les dames du Bois de Boulogne
5. Four Nights of a Dreamer

I need to rewatch some, so my ballot feels imperfect for now.

1. Sátántangó
2. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
3. Whispering Pages
4. Through the Olive Trees

Should I include Parts 1-4 of The Kingdom (Riget) by Lars von Trier? It would be #1 on my list, but I prefer to group all 8 parts as one film completed in 1997.

1. Patrick's yellow SCFZ banner
2. Rischka's Three Landscapes
3. Rischka's floating woman who looks like Ophelia

Seen 9 Capras

1. Lost Horizon
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. Arsenic and Old Lace

Welcome to Evelyn & welcome back to everyone else. The new forum coincides with my move out of the U.S.A. (Good riddance to Trump.) Sorry I didn't pitch in for the costs... I can give extra when it's time to renew.

Just realized I needed to transfer my list from the old board. No changes so far. I liked all of these, but they drop off fast after the first two: 1. Enemy (Villeneuve) 2. The Counselor (Scott) 3. Borgman (van Warmerdam) 4. Escape from Tomorrow (Moore) 5. The Lunchbox (Batra) 6. Like Father, Like S...

Seen 13 Frankenheimers 1. Seconds 2. The Manchurian Candidate 3. Seven Days in May 4. All Fall Down 5. Ronin Great choice for a start to Round 4, Flip. I vote to keep these polls going for a while, at least to five rounds if it doesn't meet too much resistance. As long as we haven't done Bresson, Mi...

I'll go with Stewart 19-11.
