Yeah between Stranger than Paradise and Mystery Train Jarmusch hasn't really impressed me all that much, but I do definitely plan on watching Dead Man before making any firm assertions about him. :)

Glad you enjoyed it Skepsis :) It's an amazing movie, Altman's best IMO. I've seen it several times and it never loses its charm for me.

The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl Dreyer, 1928) - 4

Heavy stuff for sure, a powerful piece of work drawing its strength from wells of pure emotion. Above all, this really is Falconetti's movie.

Yeah, amazing performances. I can't name too many other films where the empathy I feel for the characters is so natural and unforced.

It's the only one of his films I've seen. The instructor had a disc from Kino which had a whole bunch of them on there, so I figure that's a pretty good resource for his early shorts. :)

I hope you enjoy it, Le Cercle Rouge is a perfect movie if ever there was one. What's amazing about Virginia Woolf is how often my sympathies shifted, especially with Taylor's character. At one point...

If you've never seen any Melville, I don't recommend starting with it. He based it on his own experiences in the French Resistance, and for me at least it wasn't quite as captivating as the other two...

^I think I had a similar reaction to M*A*S*H, Daniel. Never understood why it's considered one of Altman's best; according to those clowns at the AFI, it's the finest thing he ever did!
