Loved Midnight Cowboy
Midnight Cowboy and Rosemary’s Baby came out around the same time, and each was directed by a foreign director showing you his impression of New York City. Both movies feel so authentic to the time but don’t feel dated.

Liked Romeo and Juliet
Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet is such a time capsule of 1968. But what I like about it is that Zeffirelli stayed true to the Shakespearean period and didn’t purposely make the story appeal to young people by doing anything flashy—and yet, it did appeal to a young audience.

Loved All About Eve
But in All About Eve, she is screamingly funny because the character is so well-written and feels authentic.

Liked The Heiress
The Heiress is an adaptation of the Henry James novel Washington Square and a very successful stage play it inspired. But Wyler’s film doesn’t feel stage-bound at all, even in the scenes set in the house where most of the film takes place.

Loved Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is this outrageous story of devil worshippers conjuring forth the living Satan—and yet there’s such reality in the film and concern for the everyday details of New York life.

Loved Rebecca
Loved His Girl Friday
His Girl Friday is the most fast-paced of the classic films. I love the speed of it, and the actors pull this off with such precision—Rosalind Russell in particular.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
