Wuthering Heights (1939)
Viewed 1/17/2005
Superlative adaptation of Emily Bronte's novel. Laurence Olivier is a suitably grim Heathcliff and Merle Oberon is quite fetching as Cathy. Hard to imagine this ever being topped.

I Vitelloni (1953)
Viewed 1/17/2005
Federico Fellini's coming of age tale concerns a year in the lives of a group of young men who have yet to grow up. One, Fausto, has impregnated his girlfriend but just can't live up to his responsibilites. Another hopes to become a successful playwright. Only Moraldo is bothered by their aimlessness and it is through his detached viewpoint that we come to care about these characters. The film is fairly straightforward though it boasts the themes and (occasionally) visual flourishes that would later dominate Fellini's style.
