  "The Sheltering Sky," I appreciate more and more each viewing, though I find more to fault in Winger's performance each time, too.
  If you want to really go back aways, try "L'Atalante."

    I love the early reference to Star Wars and the wonderful tracking shots.

    Jean Vigo died at 29... such a loss. Of four films he made I saw two - that one and Zero for Conduct.

    I bet you didn't know Georgy Daneliya made essentially a remake of L'Atalante, called Fortuna... not too bad either, but set in the bandit Russia of the nineties.

    Well, maybe a "remake" is too strong a word, but you will definitely recall the Vigo's film when watching the Fortuna.

    Of course there's no Michel Simon in Fortuna.

      Laughton was really good at dircting..., and that may easily be the best role Mitchum ever played.

      An eerie, poetic film indeed.

        was more believable) in "Cape Fear." (The original, of course, with a fabulous Gregory Peck performance and with Polly Bergen looking good enough to eat [Mitchum came close...]).
