  I had an opportunity to watch this one recently, and imo this isn't one of Hitchcock's best; the characters are not developed, including the protagonist, the plot is simplistic. The scene of a political meeting was funny, and some dialogue also, but overall - rather bleak and forgettable.

  Rushmore is a pocket classic, otoh.

    Dim,

    I liked it the first time thanks to Bill Murray, but my opinion after seeing it again is that the film is a snoozer. It drags forever.

    I would dump it from his list and add "A Nous La Libertie".

    "Do the Right Thing" is okay, but I'd look for a copy of "Yojimbo," or "The Lady Vanishes" instead.

      too bad the ice closed back over him--he waay overshadowed Murray.

      I think it's a very funny flick, but fair enough..
      I'll trade you your Rushmore for my Shnooz la Liberte.

        Tarkovsky's "Solaris" is amongst Criterion Collection, but for the
        life of me, I cannot understand why they choose "Fiend Without A
        Face" to promote. Much better sci-fi films out there, FWAF is
        one of my faves, but it's riddled with plot holes, and in my opinion,
        doesn't merit inclusion. - AH.

        • LOL! It's probably because Fiend Without a Face is more fun than either filmed version of Solaris. (nt) - Audiophilander 10:06:02 07/16/04 (1)

  • Sheeesh! No offense, but is such curtness really necessary? All Audio Head did was share Criterion's recommendations. - Audiophilander 09:55:47 07/14/04 (0)

    You're right, anyone can make up a list and others can just as easily tear it down; some of Criterion's recommendations might not be on your list or mine, but it's interesting to see which films Criterion sends to the head of the class for whatever reason!

    So where's your list? C'mon Victor, let's see your choices for a Top 10 Criterion Collection Start-Up Kit; be sure to explain the reasons for your choices. Enquiring minds want to know! ;^)

    Regards,
    AuPh
