I'm always underwhelmed by Lubitsch and Ozu especially. Borzage's Seventh Heaven is good.<br /><br />There's no conspiracy, just one of those things.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036103762441216161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-71301457461657418722012-07-05T21:48:12.275+01:002012-07-05T21:48:12.275+01:00I'd like an explanation as to why you have no ...I'd like an explanation as to why you have no films from the 1930's. I would argue [and have] that it is the best decade in film history because it was as if cinema were reinvented. And the changes in style and technique came fast. Also all the movie formulas we know developed that decade. Great films by Lubitsch, Borzage, Ford, Renoir, Ozu...the list goes on.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977662030208589392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-13157626302297832382012-06-21T06:34:55.949+01:002012-06-21T06:34:55.949+01:00Not at all, Brian.

Dark Water, for me, has that added emotional punch. The scenes involving the lift at the end are heartrending.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036103762441216161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-12363612513372509022012-06-18T22:58:37.838+01:002012-06-18T22:58:37.838+01:00Interested to hear why Dark Water made your list. ...Interested to hear why Dark Water made your list.
