Lost in Criterion

Milos Forman's 1965 film is probably the best of the Czech New Wave, and it's hilarious.

Bunuel's last film is either brilliant or really dumb. Possibly both.

In The Last Wave, Peter Weir seeks to show how a pragmatic person would deal with suddenly having visions. He doesn't succeed in doing that, but still makes an interesting movie.

"The French Gone With the Wind" in that it is long and features racist caricatures.

Fellini makes a movie about Fellini making a movie. They may be the same movie.

Seriously, dude released The Seventh Seal in February then went on to make a television movie and Wild Strawberries, possibly his greatest masterpiece.

Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon introduced the director to the West. Thanks!

David O. Selznick decided to make a little extra money by selling a film to RKO just before shooting. Oh, and renting them Alfred Hitchcock to direct it.

Honestly the most surprising thing about this, compared to modern films, is that love interests Peck and Bergman are actually the same age playing.

Upon arriving in America Alfred Hitchcock worked under contract with famed producer David O. Selznick. It did not work as well as it could have.

What a ridiculous and wonderful and long film!

Hey look, a psychological thriller about a sociopath that's actually good. Now we never have to talk about Silence of the Lambs again.

Peter Medak directs Peter O'Toole in an adaptation of Peter Barnes' play. Jeezy pete.

The Shop on Main Street is an incredible story about why it's bad to pretend everything is fine when it's not.
