It certainly belongs on your list ahead of Saving Private Ryan.

Well...now don't get me wrong---you are correct here.....but the lack of any fluid storyline whatsoever is the thing that held it back.

Private Ryan..... loved the scenes at the beginning but i just can't sit through Tom Hanks.

It's always watching Tom Hanks as someone. I never believe him.

Before Night Falls was a great film.

Saving Private Ryan?

Please Morty. The original Planet of the Apes is better.

Spielberg lost me after Jaws and Close Encounters. I do love Close Encounters.

By the way, I would add Stolen Kisses to my list. It's a great movie.

I've never seen that one.

My favorite Truffaut is Day for Night. The Last Metro was good too.

I can't remember Jules and Jim..... saw it way too long ago.

Is the Last Metro Deneuve and Depardieu?

Day for Night and Jules and Jim are terrific movies. Most of his stuff is great.

Yeah.

Wow, forgot about 400 Blows.

Did you ever see La Notte, the Antonioni film?

I really liked it..I really did. I didn't even know he did this movie.CE and Cajunatah---I mean Jaws are very big on my list,too.


I do judge a movie in a technical way...without being a very technical movie person,but even more so I judge it on how much it moves me-----how much emotion it digs out of me; thus my inclusuion of this fine film.



I never heard of SK.

Stolen Kisses is Truffaut. It's a sequel to the 400 Blows. Part of four, or five depending on how you look at it, semi-autobiographical movies he made.

I would have to disagree here. ( I hope this doesn't cost me valuable brownie points). I never liked him either,but he does make me believe and in vastly different ways. I thought he was very different in this one and played the whole thing really, very well.

Not among my favorite actors,but I can't dispute how good he is.



I have never heard of BNF.
