What I bought on my last trip to The Music Box
(my best local knock-off DVD outlet)
Pépé le Moko (fantastic Jean Gabin thriller from the 1930s, set in Algeria)
Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House
Nights of Cabiria (early Fellini)
Germany: Year Zero (early Rossellini - bit of an Italian neo-realism thing going on here....)
Battleship Potemkin
Laughter In Paradise (classic English comedy of the '50s)
Roman Holiday
Lust For Life
The Wizard of Oz
Moulin Rouge (the Jose Ferrer one)
La Belle et La Bête (a rare experiment in film-making by Jean Cocteau)
Night Of The Hunter (Charles Laughton's only film as a director)
Marty
Seven Samurai
Strangers On A Train
Rebel Without A Cause
The Childhood Of Maxim Gorky
Pather Panchali
Experimental Short Films By Maya Deren
Ben-Hur
The Ten Commandments
Land of the Pharaohs
Striving to recreate that lost world of Saturday afternoon film-watching during my '70s childhood (at least with a few of those latter picks!)..........
1 comment:
My purchases (sadly limited by shortage of time and money) from The Best DVD Shop In The World I discovered a few months back on my trip to Harbin were perhaps even more impressive:
The Red Shoes (got to love Powell & Pressburger; I think this is my favourite of theirs)
The Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser
Requiem For A Dream
Hell In The Pacific
The Naked Prey
All That Jazz
The Hustler
Queen Christina (classic Garbo)
The 39 Steps (the Robert Donat version, of course)
