A super-duper year. Ordering aside, I agree with all your choices (from what I've seen...) except the Lower Depths. Granted, I saw it over a year ago.. but it failed to engage me, I thought it was heavy handed and for a Renoir I didn't find the visuals particularly enthralling.
ReplyDeleteI really want to see Fury, Monsieur Lange, Sabotage, Come and Get I and Show Boat. I highly recommend After the Thin Man, best in the series by far. Camille is probably my favourite Cukor film, very nice little romance and Garbo is great. The visuals are pretty awesome too.
The General Died at Dawn and Libeled Lady strike me as films ou also may enjoy!
