I was challenged by @ralphsmotorbike to list 6 films I can watch anytime. Ralph’s is a damn fine blog and I’m happy to oblige:

The Third Man (Carol Reed, 1949) because it’s brilliant

The Maltese Falcon  (John Huston, 1941) because it’s brilliant and fun

Funny Face  (Stanley Donen, 1957) because of Audrey Hepburn’s smile

Vertigo  (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958) because it’s bottomless, a deep deep well

The Night of the Hunter  (Charles Laughton, 1955) because of my childhood

Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974) because it’s a masterpiece

So there it is. On another day you’d get a different list. With maybe Picnic or A Star is Born (Judy Garland) or Marie Antoinette (Norma Shearer suffers so beautifully) or even Auntie Mame on it.

And I challenge @sniccolo, @mildredsfierce, @ruihenriquesesteves, @kvetchlandia, and @mothgirlwings to name 6 movies you can watch anytime.

So excellent. Yes. And all so beautiful.

Hope you are ok.

Hi,

Thinking of you,

I love that she smokes with a very flammable veil over her head.
