..."Amelie", pretty surrealistic, very funny; "The Day of the Beast":simply delirant; "My Friends": bittersweet, with excellent cast and some unforgettable moments in it; "L'Emmerdeur" ("A Pain in the Ass"), with Jacques Brel (Billy Wilder filmed a remake "Buddy, Buddy" with Mattau/Lemon, but a pale shadow of the original); "The Odd Couple"...;"His Girl Friday" (Hawks) / "Front Page" (Wilder), both successful on every count; "One, Two, Three", one really over the top, and incredibly dynamic Cagney; "Sabrina"...; "The Magic Christian", with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr among others...; "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"...; much of Lubitsch, "To Be or Not To Be" being something special...; Huston�s "The African Queen"...

Yes, the list could be loooong indeed.
