Re: I'm not a snob...(winds, up...)

***"Great" and "enjoyable" don't mean the same thing but they're not mutually exclusive.

I'll drink to that, it's the difference between having a great teacher and having sex.


***OTOH, Pandora's Box is probably a "great film", and many critics love it too. Black Orpheus, Los Olvidados, Belle du jour, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Blow-up, and the Cocteau films all regularly make critics' lists...uh oh. You may be a closet snob.

LOL! That was my feelings exactly!


***Sheltering Sky - interesting failure. The Passenger Anotonioni's best??? Don't think so.

And here I agree with him... which one would you rate higher?


***The Conformist - don't remember well.

Love that one. Marvelous.

***French Lieutenant's Woman - Meryl does good accent, mediocre film. Peixote - never seen it.

Ditto on both counts.

***Really, the only trash on your list is arguably The Hidden, and it's a fun piece of genre filmmaking. I think you need to ryy harder. Your list isn't that provacative. And anti-snobbery is snobbery of a sort.

Agreed.


***So many movies, so little time.

To this one I would add: so many so hard to find!
