Directors EUROPEAN Film Tournament (1 Viewer)

[john davies]

Battleship Potemkin (but i admire Battle of Algiers enormously; a damning indictment of colonialism all the more compelling for its integrity)

My Life to Live

Rules of the Game

Solaris (though i'm not greatly enamoured of either- this is Tarkovsky's weakest)

Cries and Whispers (close one)

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser

The Passion of Joan of Arc

- (no Cercle Rouge)

p.s; in the last round of matches, Movie Camera and 8 1/2 drew, i think. I presume M.C was "tossed" through lack of viewers?

 

[Jim_K]

Yes I'll be tossing films that the majority of the voters haven't seen. If a match doesn't get at least 3 votes one or both of the films will get tossed (depending on how many people have seen each film)
