Jules et Jim might be a bit harder to 'get', but I hope you enjoy that one too!Hedwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910606263248113264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15887708.post-12310622136740452202007-11-22T20:39:00.000+01:002007-11-22T20:39:00.000+01:00Just wanted to say thanks.I StumbleUpon'd the blog...Just wanted to say thanks.<BR/><BR/>I StumbleUpon'd the blog and saw the top 50 - I was so scandalised by the Big Lebowskie being so low I came back for the no.1.<BR/><BR/>I dl'd Casablanca having read the review & having always avoided it before - it was absolutely superb. I'm looking for Jules et Jim and I may stretch to the Princess Bride :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826691326887369601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15887708.post-66842108805315060932007-10-29T06:42:00.000+01:002007-10-29T06:42:00.000+01:00The weird thing for me Hedwig is not that you shar...The weird thing for me Hedwig is not that you share one of my all time favorites as your favorite (and curse you for making us wait so long!!), but that you would capture my same feeling about seemingly everyone else's favorite movie Citizen Kane.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, CK is terrific fun and it's an exercise in the possiblities of cinematography and editing and all that jazz, but it's a fundementally cold piece of business where Casablanca grabs you by the heart...if you HAVE a heart that is. <BR/><BR/>You might take some crap for making this your #1, but not from me.<BR/><BR/>And it IS Bogie's movie. Here's a dirty litty secret about me...I'm not a huge Ingrid Bergman fan (though she was never better than in Notorious), but Bogie is so sad in this movie! There's a point where he realizes that Ilsa didn't betray him, but that she was doing the right thing and he KNOWS it but it doesn't make him feel any better. It almost makes it worse that he can't hate her for leaving him!<BR/><BR/>Great great stuff, and how can you not love him for that??<BR/><BR/>I love love love this movie. Nice pick!Craig Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924813294666616097noreply@blogger.com
