In Reply to: Then, I think at heart... posted by Harmonia on November 12, 2002 at 15:29:52:
Potemkin and Nevsky, but no Ivan the Terrible? The first two I must have seen few dozen times each when growing up, the Ivan was not too popular with the Party bosses.But I don't really think the Goodfellas or Grifters are quite of the same caliber... I know, I know, until I have seen them twenty times...
Don't Look Now is an interesting, moody film.
Yep, many good ones on your list.
Follow Ups:
I was typing at work and completely forgot Ivan the Terrible, but I've only seen it twice, and not for a long time. I feel worse about leaving out Andrei Rublev, although I think I've only seen it twice.I think Goodfellas is one of Scorse's best, for reasons I don't have time to go into here. While I love The Grifters, it's probably just a great little thriller, not a "masterpiece", but it makes a nice companion piece to Goodfellas - two different takes on the American Dream and American greed.
Oops...I just realized I misspelled "L'Atalante" - darn bifocals.
...Zero for Conduct? I don't think it was anywhere near the L'Atalante. Jean Vigo, dead at 29... such a shame.Ivan - I am sure you noticed just how different the second part was from the first. Looks like two different directors, so much time and growing up in between.
Of those three works I always considered Nevsky the minor work, even though I love certain parts of it. It drips with propaganda.
Speaking of Nevsky - did you notice the imperfection in the editing? In the battle scene Alexander constantly changes his armor, every five seconds, back and forth. Now it's this helmet, not it is that, now it is back to the other one. Obviously scene reshot without regard to details.
technically perfect as one can get....I'm always amazed and impressed with this scene....They are entering the club as a foursome and the scene is them walking into this nightclub and they have to walk through hallways and corridors, people are coming in every direction delivering food and drink....the scene is UNCUT and keeps going and going...it is mezmerizing if you pay attention.
I didn't notice it the first time around.I also thought Stones acting in Casino was top drawer, surprizing. I think it is a fine film too. I find it almost as good as Goodfellas. The soundtracks for both are also great.
