01. The Iron Horse (1924, John Ford) - I love Madge Bellamy!
02. Ikiru (1952, Akira Kurosawa) - Perhaps the most famous Kurosawa movie I've not yet seen. It's meant to be brilliant.
03. Smiles Of A Summer Night (1955, Ingmar Bergman) - A classic that's so far eluded me. I think I might end up loving it, based upon what I've heard (and my passion for 1950s Bergman).
04. The Iron Petticoat (1956, Ralph Thomas) - A pair of megastars face off in a cold war farce from British comedy maestro Ralph Thomas? It's Katharine Hepburn & Bob Hope.
05. Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison (1957, John Huston) - I might have seen this before, but if so, it was a long time ago. It's on tv, I need to tune in. It sounds like a nice companion piece to 'The African Queen' (1951).
06. Mannequin In Red (1958, Arne Mattsson) - A must-see for its influence on the Italian giallo crime subgenre which I love.
07. The Music Man (1962, Morton DaCosta) - teleadm turned me on to this musical by Iowan Meredith Wilson and now I gotta see it!
08. Je T'aime Je T'aime (1968, Alain Resnais) - I own a lot of movies on dvd that typically fall under the 'French New Wave' banner. I've never seen this sci-fi picture from Alain Resnais which intrigues me, especially as I view a couple of his earlier pictures as psychological horrors. This could be a hidden genre gem like Andrzej Wajda's miraculous Stanislaw Lem adaptation 'Przekladaniec' (1968) from the same year.
09. Ludwig (1973, Luchino Visconti) - JulieKohler recommended this to me and I'd like to see it. The dvd is very expensive but it's high on my watchlist.
10. Critical Care (1997, Sidney Lumet) - I recently saw 'Find Me Guilty' (2006) which I found interesting and enjoyable. Here's a Sidney Lumet medical drama that fell through the cracks (he's a director whose film work I rarely find anything less than fascinating).
