C'mon, guys! There are at least hundreds of great films that have done as much or more for the movie history. How come you will never hear here about La Strada? Persona? Scores of others? How come M surfaces at least once every two months?Is this purely the American phenomena? Seems to be. Is the reason that it is is a mandatory item on most liberal arts programs? Reader's Digest "World Films to Remember" list?
WHAT IS IT that makes it this persistant? If I recall corectly, every time it is mentioned it is by an American - is that true?
I dunno... I think I could think of at least 200 films I would like to revisit before going again to that pesky M.
Just go away... at last!
