Citizen Kane 1941, PG)
What can one say in such a teeny little review box? The more times I see this movie, the more I admire, respect, and enjoy it. And, for me, that's one of the marks of greatness in cinema. |

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans 1927, Unrated)
This is a work of true genius. I really don't have words to describe how powerful this movie is, and how cinematically stunning! This has instantly become one of my favorite films of all time. |

Vertigo 1958, PG)

Taxi Driver 1976, R)
I can't think of a movie that delves more convincingly into madness--individual madness and the madness of a whole society. Career-making performance by DeNiro. |

The Birds 1963, PG-13)
So very good. This movie gets better every time I watch it. I think the somewhat dated special effects distracted me at first. But now all I see is how brilliant the direction is in this film. Hitchcock is, indeed, the Master. |

Sunset Boulevard 1950, Unrated)
I saw this again at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute (I love that place!). One of the greatest movies ever! There's humor and wit, but there's also a wealth of sadness and tragedy. Norma Desmond was the role of a lifetime for any actress with the guts to play her, and Gloria Swanson was simply amazing. |
|
| 24 |
Casablanca 1942, PG)
Really, really, really good. I think people who don't like this movie might just be alien invaders disguised as human beings. |

GoodFellas 1990, R)

Singin' in the Rain 1952, G)
I know it comes a little late in film history, but for my money, this is THE Hollywood musical. |

Dancer in the Dark 2000, R)
It's not an easy viewing experience. But the movie is powerful, well acted, and well directed. Few movies affect me as viscerally as this one does...just about every time I see it. |
