Gone to Earth(Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger)
For archival purposes, I file everything by the year
it had its world premiere. Many of these films will have been
commercially released in the U.S. a year or two later, so my lists
won’t always match up with other folks’ lists.
Films I haven’t yet rated on that scale are
marked with if I
currently think they belong in my top ten. These films are subject to
being shifted around or yanked altogether at any moment, after I revisit
them and they get a numeral. (Lists from prior to about 1988 are
especially suspect, as I compiled them long ago from memories that were
in many cases already pretty dusty.)
Seen but currently unrated (and not
presumptively among my top 10):Aventurera (Gout);
Born Yesterday (Cukor); The Breaking Point (Curtiz);
Cinderella (Geronimi/Jackson/Luske); Father of the Bride
(Minnelli); Girl With Hyacinths (Ekman); The Gunfighter
(King); Harvey (Koster); Rio Grande (Ford); Sons of
Matthew (Chauvel); Where the Sidewalk Ends (Preminger)
As yet unseen:Armored Car Robbery
(Fleischer); Born to Be Bad (Ray); Caged (Cromwell); Les
Enfants terribles (Melville); Scandal (Kurosawa); Stars in
My Crown (Tourneur)
I occasionally write reviews of older movies, but it happens too infrequently to file them by year.
