What are your favourites of their collaborations? For me The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) and A Matter Of Life & Death (aka Stairway To Heaven) (1946) are not just their best, but some of the best ever put to screen by anyone.
I remember seeing AMOLAD as a kid and it being a total mindfuck!

Of the few I've seen, probably The Red Shoes.

Why are the faces in their color movies so pointed (almost cone-shaped). One sees this over and over again. Note the faces in The Red Shoes, Peeping Tom, and Black Narcissus. Was this intentional? Where they trying to create a 3-D quality before 3-D existed?

Technicolor does produce a remarkable 3-D effect in two dimensions.

"A Matter of Life and Death" is in my all-time top five film list. "The Life and Death Of Colonel Blimp" holds the record for the highest price I ever paid for a film, $125 on laserdisc. The laserdisc Of "The Tales Of Hoffman" cave in second at $100. "Black Narcissus" and "The Red Shoes" were both purchased along with my blu-ray player.
So, I am a fan.

Maybe not their greatest movie, but... 1956, but it's an interesting story. Back in my childhood, my brother and me had an old tin cigarr box with lots of small coins from all over the world that we used to play with, in the bottom of that box was a set of photographs that we never understood. The box came from a great uncle who was thought lost during WW2, but suddenly turned up in 1949. After seeing this movie I thought OMG, now I know what those Photos was about, the real blowing up of the ship!

BLACK NARCISSUS by some margin - makes my all time top ten.
But I'm very fond of GONE TO EARTH, which has been described as the most beautiful depiction of the English countryside put on film.
