  I loved seeing Preston Sturges on the same list as Robert Bresson, Luis Bunuel, and Ingmar Bergman! Thanks, Donald!

  Barbara Stanwyck in "The Lady Eve"
  Joel McCrea trying to zip up Claudette Colbert's dress in "The Palm Beach Story"
  Everyone in "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" ("I think his name was something like Ratskywatsky!)

  PS: When I showed my mother "Sullivan's Travels" she became very upset during the middle sequence when Sullivan finds himself in very big trouble. She began crying and said, "You just do not know...you have to be so careful...five seconds can change your life." Growing up in rural Oklahoma in the Forties and Fifites, she saw one or two things that this film strongly reminded her of.

    I would not go so far. But I love the guy and most of his films too.

  A very good list, I must say, with the exception of Kieslowski, his trilogy been just full of nothing, in my senses....

      Sorry I can not say, as I saw only a part of them and too long ago.

    ...in a flashy envelope, which is worth much more than the hot air it contains...

        I think that Bernardo told it the best possible way! I mean our view on this trilogy!
        A film that is all form without contend.
        Empty.
        But I must say that the first one did at first attrct me too. I soon realised my mistake, after the second and third part.
        So empty as the music in part one.

          The trilogy is overflowing with content, though the style is perhaps strong enough to obscure it for the unobservant.
