Movie You're Watching Tonight

I used to knock this quite a bit, but revisiting it while exploring Lugosi's career last year improved my opinion of it quite a bit. Browning's direction can be too stagey for its own good, but there are moments where it just basks in the production design that are quite atmospheric, and Lugosi of course is tremendous. No other Dracula has embodied the mixture of alienness, oldness and menace as fully as he does here.



I forgot the opening line.
I have a feeling that this film might be better than I ever thought it would be :



I must also make sure I see The Way Back (2010) - Peter Weir's last film (to date) which is very well regarded. There's not much else of his I haven't seen, except for Green Card. Picnic At Hanging Rock is one of my all-time favourite films. Also, Gallipoli, Witness, The Mosquito Coast (preferred the novel though), Dead Poets Society, Fearless, The Truman Show and Master and Commander.

He had a great track record.
