Hey I voted for Rio Bravo! It's the greatest thing Fred Zinnemann ever did in his life.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 14 November 2008 19:48 (fifteen years ago) link
Rio Bravo was my number one. I love how it manages to give showcases to all of its stars without hurting the plot whatsoever.
In A Lonely Place my number two - yeah some of the writing's corny, and the soundtrack is a bit intrusive as well. But apart from Bogart and Grahame, I value the gorgeous shots of the main character's house and the hills (one of the great LA movies, deffo) and...it's sort've lame to hold up taboo breaking as a reason to like a movie, but I do like how absolutley ruthless the movie is in making you love Bogart without giving you any confidence at all that he is not a psychopath and possible murderer (when the resolution comes, of course, it doesn't matter anymore.) One of the most comvincing anti-heroes ever.
I think the german stuff in Hiroshima Mon Amour is quite powerful but overall I'm not too keen on all those scenes of Riva walking around being pensive. Definitley didn't make me want to check out Duras. There's a latter (and ok, more conventional, who cares) Resnais that I really love, though - On Connait La Chanson.
Love Paths Of Glory, too.

HOWARD HAWKS, YOU INFIDEL
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 14 November 2008 19:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Wasn't Hawk's decision to film Rio Bravo as an answer to High Noon loaded with a pretty nasty political subtext? At any rate, Rio Bravo's the better movie, sure, but High Noon has its charms. Tex Ritter, for one.
xpost Alfred I think Kevin was zinging the Zinneman.

Fave (campy) line from Mommie Dearest: "Tear down that bitch of a bearing wall and put a window where it (godlike emphasis) OUGHT to be!"
Fave Edith line from Desperate Living: Haven't seen it in years but "Rob my safety deposit box" off the top of my head." Mink Stole has the best lines in this, though.
