Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Don Siegel. Not just another B movie, but in a way a story about conspiracy itself, concerning man's life in a new, more technical reality in which the common man can no longer contend with, or even believe in, the powers of governments.

Ordet, Carl Theodor Dreyer. Austere, beautiful. Loved the camera movement, hated the religious theme.

A Hammer production adapting a popular radio program. This episode has an orientalist angle as a wealthy yoga practitioner claims he can die and come back. His wife tests that theory. So far, the film I've liked the least.

Black Orpheus, Marcel Camus. "Play and make sun rise!" This movie sticks out its chest and says: do you know what color is? Let me show you. This picture is a kind of medicine. It feels incredibly new for its age. It's got guts. It's alive. It makes you want to be alive, too.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Robert Brooks. Another Tennessee Williams adaptation, another landmark actor, not to mention an Oscar winning performance by Liz Taylor. Matter of fact, everybody's on fire in this movie. Explains the hot tin roof.

I can see why this one's a classic. Glenn Ford is a charismatic, and by turns devilish and surprisingly romantic, outlaw. He's being transferred to the eponymous train so he can enjoy a nice, long stay in jail. Except -- aren't there always complications?

Written on the Wind, Douglas Sirk. A lush (read: technicolor) romantic drama in which an oil empire looms quite physically over the lives its heirs. Rock Hudson is perfect casting, Robert Stack, fantastic. Lauren Bacall's talents were wasted on a part that most could have done.

Floating Clouds, Mikio Naruse. Doomed love rules this classic Showa tale of a woman who can't cut ties with her inconstant partner. They drift in and out of each other's lives during the abject poverty of the occupation years, but never long enough to make each other happy. Beautiful.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Jack Arnold. I was thoroughly bored. I liked the monster suit and some underwater shots, but felt that this concept had been done much better, and there was not a lot for me to grasp. You just had to be there in that moment to really get it, I suppose.

The Wages of Fear, Henri-Georges Clouzot. Suspense like electric current, but also flair. Clouzot spends an hour just setting up the scene. Everyone is desperate and destitute. Money could save them. The journey is one of psychological torture and mechanical failure. It's a transcendent movie.

Le Plaisir. Max Ophüls adapts Guy de Maupassant, choosing three stories about sensual pleasure, and the dramas and disappointments that come from its pursuit. Razzle dazzle abounds. This is the first movie on the list in which the camera moves seamlessly from room to room thru a wall.

A Streetcar Named Desire, Elia Kazan. I wondered how Vivien Leigh could keep up with Marlon Brando. Naive of me, I know. I was soon served my walking papers and began to wonder how Brando could hope to keep up with Leigh. This movie is, as they say, next level. Reminded me of my childhood.

Winchester '73, Anthony Mann. A piece of western myth, the eponymous rifle, travels from person to person in a series of violent episodes. Jimmy Stewart stars as a cowboy in search of justice, etc. etc. Perhaps this influenced Iñárritu's Babel?

Deborah Kerr must convert a pleasure palace into a nunnery, but her congregations' convictions soon start to break. Gorgeous technicolor provides the visual, with the drama supplying a tense invisible struggle in psychic depths.

Kind Hearts and Coronets, Robert Hamer. This darkly witty movie travels from one murder vignette to another with Wes Anderson whimsy. Alec Guinness imbues his eight (!) characters with the aura of a chicken about to be plucked. But maybe Joan Greenwood is better, if you look past the gimmick.

Bicycle Thieves, Vittorio De Sica. This amazing movie felt like an intrusion of literary fiction into a world dominated by the alternating excitement and prettiness of genre. Whether this distinction is even useful in the end, this movie felt like the start of a new era.

Nightmare Alley, Edmund Goulding. Tyrone Power plays a hustler who, surprise surprise, flies too close to the sun. But I believed him every step of the way because he's just that good, and this movie is just that solid.

I confess that I wasn't much impressed with the first third of the movie, finding it too conventional. However, what this basic and, I thought, obvious setup builds into is well worth a viewing. Another classic that I'm glad to have now seen.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Albert Lewin. I showed up for young Angela Lansbury kicking theatrical ass, was immediately seduced by George Sanders' diabolical Lord Wotton, and was ultimately a victim of Hurt Hatfield's deceptively innocent Gray. Good pick.

Maria Candelaria, dir Emilio Fernandez. An entire town gangs up on an innocent woman who is worth more than all of them combined. My copy was really low quality but its beauty still shone through.

Several times this film compelled me to softly exhale a wow! I'm talking about The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, dir Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. I loved this movie. It is so generous, so clever, the meanest shot a sumptuous tableau. There is too much to say. Damn, damn, damn.

Holiday Inn, Mark Sandrich. Bing Crosby is a swell fella whose bride-to-be leaves him for Fred Astaire. (Who wouldn't?) Crosby sets up in Connecticut and finds a new love, but Astaire is at it again. This is a musical romance with good and bad numbers, and charming work by Crosby and Astaire.

The Wolf Man, George Waggner directing. Featuring Lon Chaney, my man Claude Rains, a cameo by Bela Lugosi. Astoundingly moody visuals. Dark irony, fate.

Dance, Girl, Dance. Dorothy Arzner is the first female director on the list. Two dancers with wildly different ambitions work together, but not quite towards mutual benefit. I really liked Maureen O'Hara in this, and Lucille Ball practically runs riot. What a duo!

O'Brien. The man earned his money and then some. What a spectacle. Weak human drama, as usual. But the viciousness on display suffuses Kong's story with much more pathos than I believe was intended.

Ninotchka. Ernst Lubitsch. I don't mind that these classic romcoms are set in the upper crust. But it's sad how Ninotchka embracing her emotions is displayed thru her wardrobe. Does she love materialism or a person? I liked Greta Garbo, but felt she had no chemistry with Melvyn Douglas.

In Bringing Up Baby, Howard Hawks asks us to believe that Cary Grant is a socially awkward nerd who associates, against his will, with a pathological klutz who happens to be Katharine Hepburn. I soon upgraded Hepburn to walking calamity, and brother, I believed it. I believed it all.

La Grande Illusion, Jean Renoir. I waited a good long while to get Renoir in here, but it was worth it. Immediate comparison brings up The Great Escape, but no, superficial similarity. Illusion hopes we're all the same. Couldn't know better. I'm a Jean Gabin fan now.
