I’ve refrained from posting because this is one of my favorite years for films and it’s making me feel like I’m choosing my favorite children.
Count me as having The Apartment, Shoot the Piano Player, Psycho, and Breathless as a 4-way tie for number one, and La Dolce Vita, The Sundowners, Rocco and His Brothers, Elmer Gantry, Devi and so many of the others tied for number two.
Like ’63, ’74, ’75, ’80, and ’07 … what a year!
Please add Innocent Sorcerers (Andrzej Wajda) and Eyes Without a Face (Georges Franju) to my list. Thanks.
