Moving right along. The theme for Monday is Best Original Screenplay. Not too many films here I have seen, and a couple of those were, for me, quite unmemorable. Let's have a look.
Recommended:
The Lady Eve (1941) - I'll give it away now - do not miss this film.
Lover Come Back (1961) - Pillow Talk remains the best of this cycle, but this one is worth seeing as well.
Diner (1982) - Another film that I haven't seen in quite a long time, but I do have fond memories of.
Highly Recommended:
Hands down, The Lady Eve. This film would be in my top three of all time, I love this film. When I was an undergrad I first saw this film in the middle of the night on local TV, but missed the first 10 minutes so did not know what it was or who the star was. This was in the pre-internet days, so I could not look up the film or find out what it was, so I went for days thinking about this film and being in love with Stanwcyk without even knowing who she was. It wasn't until a few years later that I happened to see the film and find out what and who it was. I am convinced, though, that this was the moment that got me interested in film.
Haven't Seen, But Want To:
Vitelloni, I (1953) - This is one of the few Fellini I have not seen. I have since gotten out of my Fellini phase, but I would still like to see it.
Really Not Interested:
Green Card (1990) - I hope I don't have to explain too much.
The Rest:
What Next, Corporal Hargrove? (1945)
The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell (1955)
The Ladykillers (1955)
The Road to Utopia (1946)
The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1944)
The Bachelor And The Bobby-Soxer (1947)
Crocodile Dundee (1986)
...And Justice for All (1979)
