Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
NC-17
This is one of my all time favorite movies, definitely in the top 3 of all time. It is campy and fun. I am a huge Russ Meyer fan and I think this one stands in a category of its own out of all his work. I especially love the writing by Roger Ebert. The character development is right on, and there are a lot of characters to juggle. But the editing and cinematography are noteworthy as well. All of the elements that Meyer fans enjoy are here in their splendid glory. Favorite scene: When Kelly arrives at Z-man's party and he gives her the tour. "This is my happening and it freaks me out!"
Gone With the Wind
G
I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie. I was swept away by its grandeur, and it is one of those classic Hollywood movies that makes me come to appreciate the beauty of early American cinema. It is ambitious and lavish in set design, and the acting is grand and dramatic. I came to really care about the characters Scarlett and Rhett. It is a real experience to sit and view this movie from beginning to end because it is so long, but when you do you really get transported to that world of the civil war. It is a classic epic film that should be viewed on a big screen if ever given the chance so that it can be fully appreciated. Favorite scene: When Scarlet wear the green dress and visits Rhett in jail trying to get him to give her money.
