I want to press on with my film journey that began on January 7, 2005. Over the course of the rest of my time on earth there has to be a full disclosure to the masses of what I consider the finest in all of cinema, cinema as an art form primarily.
In this list, which will be one film per post in most cases are films i've at most only mentioned once or twice in all that I remember mentioning in all of my semi-voluminous mentionings of movies. Only when I get to around 200 can I begin including the films I would always mention.
I am personally unclear about the state of filmmaking, I seek to be able to express why I feel the way I do, whether positive or negative, to strive to be as clear as I can, so we all can see films just like I do, hardeeharhar, I hope my sarcasm is seen as me just expressing my kind of humor.
Look at the supplements you get on The Criterion Channel,just like owning the disc!!
Criterion Collection Edition #351
Directed by Víctor Erice • 1973 • Spain Starring Ana Torrent, Isabel Tellería, Fernando Fernán Gómez
Criterion is proud to present Víctor Erice’s spellbinding THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE (EL ESPÍRITU DE LA COLMENA), widely regarded as the greatest Spanish film of the 1970s. In a small Castilian village in 1940, in the wake of the country’s devastating civil war, six-year-old Ana attends a traveling movie show of Frankenstein and becomes possessed by the memory of it. Produced as Franco’s long regime was nearing its end, THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE is a bewitching portrait of a child’s haunted inner life and one of the most visually arresting movies ever made.

Pan's Labyrinth was good, but not something I'd say is a fave. But Night of the Hunter from the 50's the sole directorial film of Charles Laughton is a fave, maybe that'll be #335
