Sadie McKee 1934
A less-known early Joan Crawford film which I found quite endearing. Yes, it does get a bit melodramatic at the end but I found the sense of longing and lost love touching. As you would expect in a film about the wealthy in 1934 the costumes and sets are divine.

Man Is Not A Bird 1965
Everything I like about Czech New Wave is here in this film. Gritty sex, typography, humor, jump cuts, grim working class lives plus a touch of avant garde.

The Bride of Frankenstein 1935
A rollicking good time. Way ahead of its time and full of iconic scenes. Short, well paced and worth a watch...even if you aren't into horror films (which I am not). Loved it.

Three Colors: Blue 1993
The best films are the ones that need the fewest words. This one is no exception as 90% of its message is conveyed through Ms. Binoche's eyes.
