Someone tabulated this over on the Rotten Tomatoes forum. Might not be perfect, but looks good to me. I know the first 25 or so are intact at least -- the S&S site has them listed in order at the User Poll section. Interesting how Au hasard Balthazar took a major leap up while Pickpocket...

In case anyone is having a hard time finding it on video, Maya Deren's short "Meshes of the Afternoon" (91. Meshes of Afternoon (Deren)) is available to download here. It's about 20 megs. I'm probably going to be posting some thoughts on some recent films I've seen soon, but just as a quick...

Pascal: Thanks for taking over the thread. I feared it was gone for good. :) Anyway, I'm down to 34 now, and will hopefully be down to about 30 by the end of the week (have a few lined up).

Wow...it's becoming difficult to find this thread. Heh. Anyway, been a while since I've updated my standings, and I've seen quite a few films since the last time I posted, but I wanted to share one funny experience in particular. Last week, I went out and rented Marcel Carne's Children of...

Quick thoughts... Just saw Stalker, my third Tarkovsky after Andrei Rublev and The Mirror. I can feel that I'm getting more and more aquainted with Tarkovsky's style, and I'm glad I didn't choose this one as my first by him, as I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. This is one of those...

I sure hope I don't get bashed for this, since we're all DVD lovers here :) Many people don't know that there are a number of films available for free online that are on the S&S list. Now, I know that the quality is terrible (at best), and you have to have a fairly fast connection to watch...

Just saw my first Satyajit Ray film...Pather Panchali, the first in the Apu trilogy. Man, this is one incredible movie. A rare piece of cinema in which I got the feeling I was actually in the family rather than observing it. When I'm not so tired, I'll probably write a short review for the...

JungWoo: What DVD software player do you use? I use CineMaster and can never seem to take a screenshot. S&S Movies Left to Watch 85 84

Just saw "The Bicycle Thief" (****/****), "The Third Man" (****/****), and "Persona" (***/****). Short write-ups with my thoughts will come tomorrow, along with the others that I haven't done yet, "Rules of the Game", "Ikiru", and "Breathless". 88 , 87 , 86 , 85 Left

JungWoo: Thanks for the explanation. I picked up a lot of that in the movie, but couldn't tie it together, so your thoughts really helped. One thing I really thought worked well in the film was the contrast in the scene involving the hunt. It's like the entire movie is flowing along...

Just saw: Ikiru (4/4), Breathless (3.5/4), and Rules of the Game (3.5/4, though this rating could most definatly rise if someone could help me to understand more deeply what it's about...don't know a whole lot about French social classes in the 30's :)) Reviews coming once I get a chance to...

JungWoo: I just rewatched "Grand Illusion", as I like to do with older films, since I dont approach them on the first viewing as open-minded as I do with a new film (I suppose this is mainly because I expect so much from a film that appears on countless "Best Films" lists). The second viewing...

Just saw: Grand Illusion **** (out of ****) !SPOILER WARNING! Great movie, though I'm not sure I'd place it as high in the list as it is. One thing I really liked is the light-hearted nature of the whole thing, as opposed to most films that deal with prison camps of any kind. The...

Count me in....even though I've only seen *cringe*...seven. Hey, stop laughing. I'm only 19...hehe. Many of these titles are ones I've been wanting to see. I've only recently begun watching films as if it's a religion, so many of these are ones I need to see in order to understand my faith...
