Been on a Welles binge as of late. Been debating with myself whether to watch Chimes on Youtube or not.

I think it’s a masterpiece. It also has a lot of humor in it, which is sort of rare for Welles.

Mathieu, any of them that appeal to you, I guess…

Justin -If you don’t mind me saying, this is a bit of a cop out as Mathieu is clearly after your personal favourites, in order of preference (say 1-5?)
These would also be of interest to me.
