"A Vertical..." film.
I also have lots of great childhood memories about film (though nothing as exciting as crawling under railroad cars!); my Mom was, I guess pretty typically for her day, enchanted by Hollywood stars and an avid film goer. My sister and I grew up going very often to films with her.
My earliest film memory is watching a screening on our living room wall of "Creature from the Black Lagoon" which Mom had arranged for my sister's birthday party.
I was scared silly.
Two dvds which I own are extremely highly thought of (and deservedly so) Brasilian "Cinema Novo" classics. Think Godard cloned with Bunuel with a dash of Antonioni and Pasolini...though Rocha really is a singular genius.
If you have any intererest in them, we could make a loan trade?
"Terra em Transe" (Land in Anguish) and "Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol" (God and the Devil in the Land of the Sun), both directed by Glauber Rocha.
Email me if you're interested.
Looking forward to your list.
