Great movie. I am thrilled to possess a signed copy by Lelia Goldoni....Cassavetes is like the finest...Faces remains one of my top five movies ever. Who's Afraid of Virginai Woolfe is number one, Midnight Cowboy is number two, Dr.Strangelove is clearly number three, The Best Years of Our Lives is number four, Faces is five, Catch 22 may be six, Meet John Doe number seven, Hud, What Ever Happened To Baby Jane, The Great Dictator, The Marx Brothers, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover...one of the great pieces of art ever, Hard Days Night, Double Indemnity, Scarlet Street, The Lost Weekend, Days of Wine and Roses, The Apartment, Sleepers, To Kill a Mocking bird, Baby Doll...one of the greatest, The Last Picture Show, The Day The Earth Stood Still, In Cold Blood, Modern Times and City Lights, Petrified Forest, El Topo, To Sir With Love, The Servant, The Butcher Boy, Caberaet, With Nail and I, Magic Christian, Being There, Looking For Mr Goodbar, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Bonnie & Clyde, The Exorcist, Easy Rider, Dark Victory, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, Neighbors, The Jerk, The Onion Fields, All Quiet On the Western Front, Bar Fly was pretty good, Good bye Columbus, Breakfast of Champions is really a hidden gem, it is a bit crazy, The Killing Fields, The Ballade of the Green Berets is a brilliant piece of propaganda, Drug Store Cowboy, Woody Allen movies, same with Chaplin and W.C. Fields, Mae West, Marx Brothers was something that I really grew to appreciate as I got older, Blue Angel, Casablanca, It Happened One Night, Night of the Hunter...Robert Mitchem was truly disturbing in this movie, even stranger than Cape Fear, Mancherian Candidate...The Salvador Dali pieces were great, as was the rest of the movie, Kings Row, All the Kings Men, A Face In the Crowd and Network are two of the greatest, The Hairdressers Husband, Psycho...the best part is when she is in the motel room counting the money, The Birds, Streetcar Named Desire, Suddenly Last Summer, Some Like It Hot, Clockwork Orange, Lost Highways, Five Easy Pieces, Lolita, Attack of the 40 Foot Woman, Gummo is one of the best films in the past 25 years, it really captures the lower white economic class, Imitation of Life, Trainspotting, Boys In the Band.......The French films, Blue, Red and White, each being a specific movie, a number of French and Spanish movies, Conversation, this was a great Gene Hackman movie, The Snake Pit, The Misfits...a strange exit for three of the greatest, The Hill...this was a great great movie, Human Bondage, this was a great book as well as a great movie, Johnny Got His Gun was a much better book than it was a movie, but the movie is very commendable considering how difficult it must have been to translate into film...besides, Dalton Trumbo was a significant writer, as well as a real American hero (Blacklisted), A Tree Grew In Brooklyn, another important film/book, by Sherwood Anderson. There is a collection of art films from 1890 to 1940 that is great. One time in Germany I saw one of the strangest pieces of film sure to exist, it was about 90 minutes of early film clips, it was without a doubt one of the most disturbing things I have ever had the pleasure to view, glimpses of carnage, inhumanity, poverty, everyday life...it had a variety of tints to it, yellow and blue, electric rails that executed elephants, horses gasping their final breaths, humans staring into space awaiting certain death, babies smiling...it was some of the most perplexing images. I do not know what it was, I wish I owned it. It was probably filmed in the very early 20th century, if not, some of the earliest film pieces from the late 19th century.
