1949-The Third Man |
I'm not sure what properties make
my favorite movies my favorite movies, but looking over this list, I see the overall skill
and artistic vision from directors, writers, cinematographers, composers and actors seems
to be very high in just about all of these films, so I guess I like movies made by
experienced, talented people with their own stories to tell. Duh. Many of the titles seem to focus on the darker side of humanity. Murder, prostitution, betrayal, obsession, etc. Maybe enjoyment of such negative themes in the theater gives release and helps me to be the warm, cheery person I am in real life. In any case, if you haven't seen any of these movies, check them out. |
