I know I've posted this before, but what an incrdeible run of great British films from Michael Powell, alone and with his artistic partner Emeric Pressburger.

Powell alone: 49th Parallel and Thief Of Baghdad, pre-Archers, and Peeping Tom post Archers, which nearly ended his career, plus the underrated The Queen's Guards.

With Pressburger:

One Of Our Aircraft Is Missing
The Life & Death Of Colonel Blimp
A Canterbury Tale
I Know Where I'm Going
A Matter Of Life And Death
Black Narcissus
The Red Shoes
The Small Back Room
Gone To Earth
The Tales Of Hoffman


At least 7 of the Archers are masterpieces...quite a record in any day by any standards.
