  ***Elder Victor isn't discovering any Americas when he talks about decline of Hollywood films after the war. I think that the best American films were made after WWII.
  Isn't there a contradiction between your two sentences?
  -----------
  Arrgh. Come on,Victor, drop the semantics:)))You know perfectly well what I was talking about.
  What I meant to say was that indeed, Hollywood took some turns after the WWII, some of them right, some of them u-turns and some of them bad.
  Now, my favorite post-WWII American films would be(before 1980s)
  A Gentlemen's Agreement
  North by Northwest
  Chinatown
  A Hatful Of Rain
  The Hustler
  The French Connection
  Carmen Jones
  The Godfather
  The Young Lions
  Some like it hot
  Easy Rider
  Pinky
  Spartacus
  One flew over the cuckoo's nest
  The Taxi Driver
  Dr.Strangelove
  Three days of the Condor
  The Graduate
  Raging Bull
  On The Waterfront
  The Big Heat
  Apocalypse Now
  Midnight express
  Young Frankenstein
  Jaws
  All The King's Men
  Close encounters of the third kind
  All That Jazz
  Human desire
  To kill the mockingbird
  and that film with Charleton Heston where he plays a Mexican.

  These are just the ones that came to my mind while I was typing. I'm sure there are more.

  All the other stuff about my being wrong for the next 100 years - I wish you all the health in the world, o sagacious Solomon. :)

    ...ever so gently slide the "Paths of Glory" in place of Spartacus?

    Anyway, intersting. I am actually scanning it for holes I need to plug im my education.

    On the ones I know I agree with you about 60% - I would never consider the "Condor" anything but another piece of kaka from Redford-the-kaka-man.

    And I am eternally grateful to you that there was no Stalag 17 on your list...

      I haven't seen the Paths of Glory...but I like Spartacus.
      Wow, Victor, don't get too worked up about the caca-man. I liked the Condor, saw it perhaps 3 times since I saw it first when I was about 12 or 13, still like it.
      He is an OK guy, Redford. Why dislike him so much? It's the horse film, isn't it? Or his political affiliations maybe? There's got to be something beside the acting...
      Stalag 17:))))

      Time to go home now.

        You are lucky man, Dmitry, watching Paths of Glory for the first time - you will not forget it. Simply put - one of five best films ever made, and you know - I don't drop that sort of claims idly.

        Redford - Mr. Hollywood. A facade man, a Potemkin village, with no substance. I don't think is was the horse movie, I think my dislike of him started with the first his film that I saw - the Bruebaker. That was right as I came here, and I thought highly of American films. Bruebaker struck me as something utterly fake, although it toom me several years to understand what it was.
