Top 10 Films
Since i did a top 10 for songs, why not for cinema? I only choose feature lengths of a regular running time
1. Sweet Movie - this has for awhile been my official #1, but it could just as well switch places with Makavejev's earlier film WR Mysteries of the Organism, both are sweet, and daring works of subversive art.
2. Fruit of Paradise - a divine work
3. The Color of Pomegrantes - this too could switch with Parajanov's other film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, that one is more vibrant, this one is more static and tableux type, haunting stuff!
4. The Death of Maria Malibran - such a great fusion of images and sounds
5. In a Year With 13 Moons - Fassbinder's most personal work
6. Birds, Orphans and Fools - totally love this Slovak work
7. Passion of Joan of Arc - the greatest silent film imo
8. A Woman Under the Influence - my #1 American drama
9. L'Immortelle - Alain Robbe - Grillet's debut feature, so hypnotic and strange
10. Ivan the Terrible parts 1 and 2 - favorite Eisentein, would have been an awesome trilogy
