my chronological top 40 (forgive if the year is incorrect):
80 – stardust memories, the falls, bad timing, raging bull, elephant man, the shining, grown ups, permanent vacation
81 – my dinner with andre
82 – three crowns of the sailor, fitzcarraldo, the draughtsman’s contract, veronika voss, fanny and alexander
83 – nostalghia, l’argent
84 – love streams, legend of suram fortress, stranger than paradise
85 – a zed & two noughts, ran, brazil, hail mary, the purple rose of cairo
86 – down by law, blue velvet, sacrifice, hannah and her sisters, caravaggio
87 – medea, a short film about killing, withnail & i, raising arizona
88 – wings of desire, cobra verde, ashik kerib, a short film about love, tales from gimli hospital
89 – mystery train, the seventh continent
I love Jarman and like Jubilee, but I think he has at least 3 better films in his oeuvre. Namely, Wittgenstein, Edward II, Caravaggio. luckily, Zeitgeist recently put out a pretty decent boxset including Wittgenstein and Caravagio…both of which i’d highly recommend over Jubilee, which is a film much more valuable to fans of punk and punk film in my opinion.
