Gillo Pontecorvo’s ‘Battle of Algiers’. Saw it in class, went straight home and ordered the dvd. When it arrived, I was like, “Ooooh, look at all the neat extra stuff they give you!” I had no idea about the concept of the Criterion collection :P
‘The Haunting’ from 1963. Adapted from Shirley Jackson’s ‘The House on Haunted Hill’, it’s hands down the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. No loud shocks, nothing jumping out at you, no special effects, just a big, old house that I swear is alive and evil to the core. I loved the way in which Hill House itself becomes a character rather than a setting.

Every Friday, it’s like she whips out this giant stick with the word ‘feminist’ painted on it, and uses it to bash your head in.
Although, she did write a pretty decent review of ‘Bride Wars’ recently.

Kane was released in ’41, so it must have been in production (or at least pre-production) when Rebecca was released in ’40.
