The Favourite Films of Critics and Filmmakers (32 movies items)"Numero Uno: Menilmontant. Maggie: What was your favorite movie in your entire life? Pauline: In my entire life? Well, there's a French movie that probably you've never heard of that I like best... Maggie: And what was the French movie? Pauline: "Menilmontant," a silent movie made in 1924 by Dmitri Kirsanov starring his beautiful Russian-born wife, Nadia Sibirskaya. --From "Afterglow: A Last Conversation With Pauline Kael" by Francis Davis The rest in no order: Intolerance: Love's Struggle"
In Praise of Marlon Brando (32 person items)" "Brando represented a reaction against the post-war mania for security. As a protagonist, the Brando of the early fifties had no code, only his instincts. He was a development from the gangster leader and the outlaw. He was antisocial because he knew society was crap; he was a hero to youth because he was strong enough not to take the crap ... Brando represented a contemporary version of the free American ... Brando is still the most exciting American actor on the screen.""
