Sanjuro



Oliver Twist over Rushmore 8-0

Ikiru over Wild Strawberries 4-2

Throne of Blood over The Scarlet Empress 6-0

M over Stray Dog 6-0

Stolen Kisses over Sanjuro 3-2 - how predictable

Is there some sort of guidebook you guys follow?


Hm... Lets see .....page 12.....says here that I'll look more intelligent & enlightened if I pick the annoying French melodrama over the Action/Comedy sequel.


j/k :p)

The Passion of Joan of Arc
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie - I guess. (And George says to that...)
The Testament of Dr. Mabuse
Black Narcissus

Monterey Pop
The Passion of Joan of Arc
M. Hulot's Holiday (very tough)
The Testament Of Dr. Mabuse
Black Narcissus (tough)

Except that Stolen Kisses isn't an annoying French melodrama, it's an extremely charming and very funny romantic comedy. I would easily put it on a list with Some Like It Hot, Smiles Of A Summer Night and The Lady Eve as one of the best romantic comedies around.

I liked Sanjuro but I never thought it was as good as Yojimbo. I saw Stolen Kisses for the first time about a month ago, and though it's not as good as the 400 Blows, I loved it a lot more than I thought I would have.

Actually, that rule is on page 27...you can't miss it!

You've pretty much nailed it Jim, except the primary guide is to vote opposite of the way I do. Of course it's suggested that they sometimes agree with me just to try to hide what's going on. Typically Lew has to do that about 2/3 of the time, and Brook has to do it the other 1/3. Bill pretty much refuses to ever do so.

 

[Jim_K]

Well at least it isn't just me.
