I think you're probably right about the story losing its impact, so it probably really depends on which version you watch first. I liked the doc, but I've put off watching the movie version for just...

Wendy and Lucy (2008)

This one was surprisingly quite hard to get hold of - had to buy it off ebay in the end.

It's an extremely low key drama about a woman just passing through a town loses...

Waterloo Bridge (1940)

"Darling don't cry, it's a happy ending!"*

Good pick for me as I enjoyed the original Waterloo Bridge and also Random Harvest which was picked...

Thanks Thief. I really felt like I should have liked it more. Perhaps one to rewatch.

I really liked The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum from the same director. That was also quite tragic but...

Sansho the Bailiff

This was a long overdue watch, a film that has been languishing on my watchlist for a long time.

Sansho the Bailiff is a deliberately paced melodrama. A governor is exiled...

Rosemary's Baby

"It's not what you're expecting."

The film's tagline was true for me, because somehow, despite this being on pretty much every list ever, I didn't really think I would like it. ...

I watched Another Earth quite recently. I thought I hated it for quite a lot of the runtime, but then parts of it were thought provoking. Some of the time I felt like I could see what it was trying...

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame IV

I've fallen behind a bit but I will finish. I've got Waterloo Bridge on dvd and Rosemary's Baby is on Amazon. I can rent Wendy and Lucy but they sent out a different dvd which I haven't got round to...

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame IV

Not all surprised Raul didn't like Trainspotting and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for Citizen. I feel like I should rewatch it some time though. I liked the book better.

The River (1951)

I had not heard of this film, although I have liked everything else I have seen so far from Renoir.

This was an interesting mix of melodrama and coming of age tale with a...

The Cranes Are Flying

I'm not sure I can do much of an analytical review of this film, it was just too emotional. I'd say it's one of the saddest films I've seen, but there are so many sad films,...

I've genuinely never heard of The Court Jester, although I must have scrolled past the name on the lists a few times.

Re: The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame IV

I think Paris, Texas, Room at the Top and The Conversation are all really good films, so good luck ordering those.

Mustang is pretty good...
