    Romantic comedy - Sabrina, Ninotchka (screenplay) & The Apartment

      I don't think I've hated many films more than I hated Stalag 17. The tone is so off (is it a comedy? an adventure? a realistic drama about prisoners of war? It's neither funny, suspenseful nor disturbing/touching), and the characters and acting are intolerable. :D I'm really surprised that it's generally so well received.

    I spent time with Jerry Lewis' first wife(a story in itself), but one of the things I had to ask her was about "The Day the Clown Cried", the project that basically scuppered Jerry Lewis' career as a film director. The film was not finished. Jerry had a completed script and filmed enough to assemble a rough edit, but had one of his breakdowns/heart attacks or something causing him to walk away from the whole thing. His ex-wife contended that if the project had been completed, Jerry would have swept the Oscars as director/actor. I've seen clips without sound from the shoot, but it was mostly "Making of" footage. For a legendary rumored project, it has only really been an open topic for the last 25 years or so. Jerry's ex-was dumfounded that I had even heard about the project as it was a topic that the JL camp deliberately avoided(until Roberto Benigni's Oscar). The only person I know who definitely saw the assemble footage was Harry Shearer. Maybe one day AI can finish it.

Some customers were spending the day at my record store and went to Boston Market in Burbank. While standing in line, they noticed, much to their amazement that Bob was in line ahead of them. Surprised, they asked him "Hey, aren't you Bob Hope?" and Bob responded "Get away from me you fucking moron". Thanks for the memories Bob.

    Interesting how One Eyed Jacks suddenly hit Terry. I haven't seen it myself, but love the stories of how Stanley Kubrick was originally going to direct, and showing up at Marlon's house with other actors sitting on the floor in a circle with a gong. Stanley put up with it for a bit, but finally bailed. I'd be interested now to see if Marlon did it all his own way, or was there any influences of Stanley that may have seeped in?

      In Brando's 1979 Playboy interview, he told the story of what finally broke Kubrick. They'd been batting the script back and forth for weeks, and Kubrick finally said, "Marlon, what's this picture about?" and Brando was thinking, Now you're asking me?!? So he snapped back, "Stanley, it's about the $300,000 dollars I already paid Karl Malden to wait for us and not accept a different movie!" Kubrick says if that's what it's about, I'm in the wrong picture. He walks out. Brando is told by the producer that if he can't find another director in a week, the picture is dead. So Brando nominated himself and made the movie.

(Abrahams, Zucker, and pretty much anything else they did), Fitzcarraldo (Herzog, the only thing I like by him, except probably the remake of Nosferatu), Come and See (Klimov), The Thing (Carpenter, and much else besides), Videodrome (Cronenberg), Barton Fink (Coen), &c.

      Tarkovsky is obviously always "deft" and both Ivan's Childhood and Andrei Rublev are statements. But it is not until Solaris that he discovers his "thing" and then perfects it in Mirror, Stalker, and Nostalghia. The "personal" change he undergoes when making a film not in Russia (for Nostalghia) begins to affect his judgment in that movie, and he has completely lost his way for Sacrifice. this is my too-brief summary.
      Meanwhile, the "Russian medievalism" in Gherman's "Hard to be a Good" is utterly staggering. It's like the opposite of Tarkovsky and completely full of its own genius for that very reason. Khrustalyov, My Car! is super-really good too. Gherman was getting better and better as he went along. We're fortunate that Hard to be a God was completed.

They (directors) all praise, as we viewers do as well, the best directors of all time, but when directors actually talk about their top 10 or favorite films, Kubrick, Chaplin, Tarkovsky, Kurosawa (yes I realize Seven Samurai was mentioned here), Leone..etc... are largely not talked about. Even today, many Directors hail Lars Von Trier as the best Director alive today, yet his films are rarely talked about further amongst the industry...

    I agree with Citizen Kane and Seventh Seal. I would add La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (1928)...there is something about Reneé Jeanne Falconetti’s acting in that one...

Who couldn't love The Producers or Young Frankenstein? If you don't like those films, you don't have a pulse. There's about 12 movies. They're not too highbrow and obviously, you can see I like comedies. Nursery's films like the Seventh Seal and Citizen Kane just depressed me.

    The more movies I watch(or re-watch), my list changes. But as of 5/12/21, my top 10 is:
    *Describing why I love it, no plots here:
    1. The Prince of Egypt(1998). I love Biblical epics and this is animated movie about Moses is the best if you ask me. Moving beyond words, gorgeous animation, and simply powerful.
    2. Life Itself(2014). As a movie fan and Roger Ebert fan, I couldn't get enough of this and played many parts over again. I watched the first half at night but I had to watch the rest the next day as a result.
    3. 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968). This is what movies were made for. Yes, I know there is a novel of it(I have it even), but the visuals are mesmerizing and create the ultimate movie experience. If you WATCH 2001, it's a bore. EXPERIENCE it as it's fascinating beyond words.
    4.Citizen Kane(1941). The greatest movie ever made, of course, but not my FAVORITE. Still, it cracks the top 10. I shouldn't have to say anymore, Terry nailed it here!
    5. The Courtship of Eddie's Father(1963). I actually watched this for the first time from start to finish exactly a week ago. (TCM aired it on Thanksgiving but I had to miss the 2nd half.) Simply put, I feel joy watching it, and I think it's the best "Family" movie I have ever seen. I will hold back on saying "ever made". ,
    6. Precious(2009). A heartbreaking story but one of the most powerful I have seen. Not many movies make me cry, but Precious made me broke down. I once wrote a review of Precious and I didn't know how to end it. I finally came up with "I hope I forget my name before I forget this powerful masterpiece."
    7. Toy Story(1995). This is technically a spot for my favorite secular animated movies, but if I had to choose one, it would be Toy Story. I used to watch it all the time as a kid, and so there's probably no exaggeration in saying I have literally seen it 100 times.
    Today I have those memories and now I appreciate the animation, considering it was the first fully computer animated film. Also, it actually makes me cry now because it makes me think of my now deceased sister. It's bittersweet, but in a way it makes me appreciate it more.
    8. My Fair Lady(1964). I love musicals and this is my favorite! I have probably seen it over a dozen times. I've watched only parts of many times too(ie catching it on TCM), because that's just as worth it! It's definitely one of my "perfect" movies.
    9. Juno(2007). Again, "perfect" movie. Cleverly written and I love every minute. It's very funny too. When I first watched it, I tried to pick one nit pick, and I really couldn't. Juno's PG-13 F bomb may be the closest, I am serious, I couldn't find anything else.
    10. The Night of the Hunter(1955). This was deemed too dark at the time, and the Oscars seemed to neglect it. Too bad, this suspenseful horror movie is a masterpiece. "Leeeeeeaning. Leeeeeaning. Safe and secure from ALL ALARMS..."

    Seven Samurai and Seventh Seal are on my top too. But Kubrick's big three are certainly on my list: 2001, Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove. After that, I'd have to fill it in with The 39 Steps, The Thin Man, Scrooge (1951), Babette's Feast, and ... dunno, it probably would be either The Gay Divorcee or Top Hat or The Life of Brian or Arsenic and Old Lace .... Too many choices. Citizen Kane definitely great but I don't like to watch it much. Maybe Elevator to the Gallows by Louis Malle? That's an amazing film.

      Arsenic and Old Lace is a top contender for funniest film of all time. For me, it's between that and Bringing Up Baby. (There are also some really good Finnish scewballs, but they're rather context-specific.)
      My go-to Kurosawa is Throne of Blood. The Seventh Seal might make it. The Great Beauty was an unexpected aesthetic epiphany that actually made me cry. Fallen Angels was my first Wong Kar-Wai (or indeed artsy film) experience as a teenager, and its escalator and night time city scenes left their mark. I'd also probably include some Fellini and Ettore Scola (La terrazza?), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf for capturing the tension of a chamber play. For the most memorable recent experience in theatre, Roy Andersson's About Endlessness really caught me off guard (probably wouldn't have had that impact at home, though).
      But yeah, it gets really difficult to compare between very different films. There's also the (predictable) best spaghetti westerns and Kubricks to consider; some musical (My Fair Lady); something like My Night at Maud's or Léon Morin, priest; Star Wars; Kieslowski's Three Colors; something from De Sica (Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is my favorite for star power, Bicycle Thieves the "objective" pick); The Third Man; The Lives of Others; There Will Be Blood; Columbus (the ultimate visual experience); and among lesser lights, Onibaba, Amadeus, Ida and Cold War, The Reader or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (must have some Kate Winslet), as well as something from Miyazaki, Almodóvar's and Bunuel. Stalker, Blade Runner, Children of Men, Manhattan as the obligatory Woody Allen (until you get so sick of his mannerisms that even the best ones start to seem stale). Etc. etc.
      And, if it qualifies, the second season of Heimat would probably be at the very top of my list.
