My Favorite Movies

Medea 1987, Unrated)
This is the wrong version; it is not authentic. Pasolini's with Maria Callas is formative. |
|
| 2 |
Antigone 1974, Unrated)
I wanted the Greek version with Irene Pappas. |

Brokeback Mountain 2005, R)
All of Ang Lee's movies are scenically lovely, subtly characterized, and sensitively directed. |
|
| 9 |
El Amor Brujo (Love, the Magician) 1986, PG)
All of Carlos Sauras' films are splendid for production values, spectacular mise-en-scene, and passionate acting. |

The Dresser 1983, PG)
It's too bad that Tom Courtenay is no longer making movies; his work with Albert Finney in this two-man drama is convincing.. |
|
| 13 |
Schindler's List 1993, R)
This is an important movie with a finely crafted screenplay and superb acting worthy of the best live theater, but able to exploit the movie screen's superior ability to portray the scope of the human devastation and consequent diaspora. |
