Almost every week, like clockwork, I will go through the guide and see everything that's scheduled to play on Turner Classics and the HD movie channels. Takes a long time sometimes, but there are always some great titles. Someday, when TCM, IFC and Sundance are all HD, I will have to buy a bigger DVR.
Oh, you silly, HD snob.
I was reading some reviews of the remake and a lot of them were pretty positive. I'd like to see it at some point.
It's one of those things that if it comes on the telly and there's nothing else going on, say no scheduled Magic the Gathering tournaments, it might be worth watching. Or you can just explore more of Henri-Georges Clouzot's work if you haven't (Like Wages of Fear).
Apparently, Hitchcock wanted to get the rights to Boileau-Narcejac's "She Who Was No More," which was the basis for Les Diaboliques, but lost, and as a consolation, bought the right to Boileau-Narcejac's "The Living and the Dead" which served as the basis for Vertigo. Tic for Tac.
Why not? Do you have the DVD?
Alas, I don't have the DVD, and that's one reason. It really is one of those movies that one has to be in the right mood to watch, you know, otherwise it's kinda hard to watch it all the way through. I would also like to watch the one with Burroughs narration.
Other than Dreyer stuff, what else would you recommend in that department? Did you ever see A Page Of Madness?
Yeah, I watched A Page of Madness, silly, I recommend it to you.
There's quite a bit. Have you ever watched any of Murnau's work, say, the silent Faust or Noseferatu?
You can or rather SHOULD. Faust is the APEX of silent film German expressionism.
