Here's a list of movies i was encouraged to check out late one night after explaining the nature of this class to some old-school thespians. I've added a couple others that went by...
"The Spy Who Came In From the Cold"
"39 Steps"
"The Truman Show"
"Sex, Lies and Videotape"
"Apocalypse Now"
"Who Killed the Electric Car"
"Quiz Show"
"Syriana" (sp?)
"The Last Emporor"
"Serpico"
"Catch Me If You Can"
"The Departed"
A Dalton Trumble was also recommended, an author i think. Also, Heart of Darkness by Conrad. Bear in mind, if some of these seem a stretch, that it was quite late at night, after a large dinner, with quite a bit of good wine, good company, and good indigestion.
Anyway, this is just a test. But watch them all tonight.

Also for an hilarious flick on the absurdity and effectiveness of truth as a "lie," treat yourself to "The Man Who Knew Too Little" (spoof on "The Man Who Knew Too Much). Tonight.
ReplyDeleteAHHHH THE 39 STEPS. I was looking for any excuse to mention that last time. I'd put that right next to Third Man in terms of visual elegance.
ReplyDeletewow did I say "visual elegance"
Terry, i just bought a copy of it at Brattle--I'll bring it tomorrow for you to drool on.
