You know what, on second thought, after looking over his filmography again and pondering it a bit, I have to give Donen his due. I don't like musicals generally, including a few of the ones Donen directed. That being said, he did direct a few of the musicals that I actually liked (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Pajama Game), and two that I would include among the best musicals that I've seen (Singin' in the Rain, Damn Yankees). And for that I should afford him more respect.

For which "fundamentals" of moviemaking is Stanley Donen responsible? I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm genuinely curious. I've seen many (18) of Donen's films, and thought him a competent craftsman. But I would never rank him among the greatest or groundbreaking filmmakers.

Mon Oncle Antoine (1971) - 7/10 French-Canadian drama from writer-director Claude Jutra. The inhabitants of a rural Quebecois mining town get ready for Christmas. Young Benoit (Jacques Gagnon) works at the general store owned by his uncle Antoine (Jean Duceppe) and aunt Cecile (Olivette Thibault). Benoit flirts with shopgirl Carmen (Lyne Champagne), while clerk Fernand (director Jutra) flirts with Cecile. This has a pseudo-neo-realist vibe, with most of the townsfolk coming across as very genuine. The main characters who work at the general store are more traditionally cinematic, but not so much that they detract from the overall sense of place. I've read that many consider this the "greatest Canadian film ever made." I prefer Videodrome. Source: The Criterion Channel

The Last Movie (1971) - 6/10 Notorious arthouse drama from writer-director Dennis Hopper. He also stars as Kansas, a Hollywood stuntman in Peru for the filming of a western. After the film wraps and the cast and crew leaves, he decides to stay, and makes time with local prostitute Maria (Stella Garcia). They get mixed up with a rich American couple, as well as villagers who begin re-enacting the movie shoot with equipment made out of sticks. With Julie Adams, Don Gordon, Tomas Milian, Sylvia Miles, Kris Kristofferson, Peter Fonda, Michelle Phillips, Severn Darden, Jim Mitchum, Toni Basil, Rod Cameron, Henry Jaglom, Russ Tamblyn, Dean Stockwell, and Sam Fuller. Hopper was given free rein for his much-anticipated follow up to Easy Rider, but he went over budget and spent a year trying to edit the movie into a manageable length and a coherent narrative. Whether or not you think he succeeded will be subjective. I thought it was a rambling, self-indulgent mess, with a few interesting images and a couple of decent performances from Adams and Milian. The movie was a flop when it was (barely) released, but it has gained a cult following in the years since. This also marked Hopper's lengthy Hollywood exile, spending much of the decade getting heavier and heavier into drug use, occasionally appearing in small parts, before making a major comeback in the mid-1980's.

Is it this?

I always found Taylor to be unexceptional in appearance and talent. The one time I was impressed by her acting was Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, otherwise I found her to be little more than a tabloid fixture. But I know plenty liked her, and that I'm in the minority concerning her.

Drive, He Said (1971) - 6/10 Drama/comedy based on a novel by Jeremy Larner, co-scripted, co-produced and directed by Jack Nicholson. Hector (William Tepper) is a top college basketball player with a bright future in the sport if he'll just straighten up and take things seriously. He's also having an affair with Olive (Karen Black), the wife of one of his professors (Robert Towne). Meanwhile, Hector's roommate is Gabriel (Michael Margotta) a high-strung radical and mischief maker who may be crazier than everyone thinks. With Bruce Dern as the basketball coach, June Fairchild, Henry Jaglom, David Ogden Stiers, Michael Warren, Charlie Robinson, and Cindy Williams. This "New Hollywood" effort marked Nicholson's directing debut, a career path that was originally his intended one. It's sloppy, with poor pacing, and the script is all over the place, but it has its moments. The scenes with Gabriel at the draft board physical are the highlight, as he does everything in his power to get rejected. Source: internet

She was in a bit about women's suffrage.

The controversy has insured that younger generations will try and seek it out much more than if it was released and regarded as most other Disney films. The same was true of the "suppressed" The Black Cauldron, back when rumors said the film was neglected due to "satanic influences", rather than Disney being embarrassed by a flop.

Ucho aka The Ear (1970) - 7/10 Czech drama from writer-director Karel Kachyna. A middle-aged couple, Ludvik (Radoslav Brzobohaty) and Anna (Jirina Bohdalova), return home one night after a Communist Party social gathering. In between bickering, they discover that something is amiss, as their electricity is out while the other houses on their street still have it, and it appears someone may have broken in. As they continue to squabble, they become more paranoid that they are being surveilled and targeted by the Party for some unknown offense. An indictment of Iron Curtain oppression dressed as domestic dysfunction, Kachyna's grainy, B&W film is well-executed and well-acted. Source: The Criterion Channel

Swing Out, Sweet Land (1970) - 5/10 TV-movie/variety show special produced by Budweiser. John Wayne headlines and acts as host and narrator in this look at American history and celebration of patriotism. In true variety show fashion, there are musical numbers (including by the likes of Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, Ann-Margret, Leslie Uggams, and Roy Clark), as well as comedic sketches. The large noteworthy cast includes Bing Crosby (as Mark Twain), Bob Hope (doing a USO show at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary War), Lorne Greene (George Washington), Hugh O'Brian (Thomas Jefferson), William Shatner (John Adams), Ross Martin (Alexander Hamilton), Dean Martin (Eli Whitney), Roscoe Lee Browne (Frederick Douglass), Rowan & Martin (Wright brothers), Michael Landon, Dan Blocker, Jack Benny, George Burns, Phyllis Diller, Patrick Wayne, Greg Morris, Celeste Holm, Dennis Weaver, Rick & David Nelson, Red Skelton, Tom Smothers, Ed McMahon, and Lucille Ball as the Statue of Liberty. This is as corny as it sounds, but a good time capsule of the variety show format, and an example of conservative, "Silent Majority" counter-programming. Source: YouTube

That's easy - the greatest human being of the 20th Century was Tim Jenkins (1922-1996) of 1483 County Rd 5, Longville, Minnesota. The greatest event of the 20th Century was the opening of the Office Depot in Lincoln, Nebraska in April of 2003.

Ah yes...Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars.

The Rebel Rousers (1970) - 3/10 Exploitation/biker flick from writer-director Martin B. Cohen. In a small SoCal beach town, a group of filthy bikers led by J.J. (Bruce Dern) terrorize the locals, as well as Paul (Cameron Mitchell) and Karen (Diane Ladd), a couple with marital problems who had just been visiting the area when the bikers arrived. With Jack Nicholson as "Bunny", Harry Dean Stanton, Neil Burstyn (then-husband of Ellen Burstyn), Lou Procopio, Earl Finn, Philip Carey, Robert Dix, and Bud Cardos. This cheap, very dumb biker misfire was shot in '67 but deemed too awful to release. It wasn't until Nicholson achieved fame with Easy Rider that someone decided to dump this into theaters in 1970. It takes some skill to take a cast with such noted scenery chewers as Mitchell, Ladd, Dern and Nicholson and still end up with a boring dud, but director Cohen manages to do so. Source: YouTube

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970) - 8/10 Italian crime drama/black comedy with Gian Maria Volonte as a high-ranking police official who murders his mistress (Florinda Bolkan) and leaves clues that point to him as the culprit. Flashbacks show his twisted relationship with the mistress, as well as outlining his political and law enforcement philosophies. Meanwhile, in the present, he tracks the progress of the murder investigation by the detectives under his command. With Gianni Santucci, Orazio Orlando, Sergio Tramonti, Arturo Dominici, and Massimo Foschi. Writer-director Elio Petri paints a scathing portrait of corruption in the upper echelons of power, while Volonte, who I know mainly from spaghetti westerns, turns in the performance of a lifetime, at times pathetic, at others terrifying. The production is helped immensely by one of the best scores of Ennio Morricone's career, too. The film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Recommended. Source: internet

Of course not. And there was already another Woody Allen thread on the first page or two of General Discussions. But the OP seems to rarely look at anything but his own threads.

The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (1970) - 7/10 Italian WWII drama from director Vittorio De Sica. The film tracks the lives of a handful of Italian Jews in Fascist Italy during the early war years. As the government passes more and more oppressive anti-Semitic laws, the Finzi-Continis, a wealthy Jewish family, lives in isolated luxury on their walled estate, where they invite others to relax in their expansive gardens and tennis courts. Giorgio (Lino Capolicchio), another local Jew, is in love with Micol Finzi Contini (Dominique Sanda), and he's also friends with her sickly brother Alberto (Helmut Berger). As the war progresses, all three have their relationships tested. Also with Fabio Testi, Romolo Valli, and Barbara Pilavin. De Sica's successful film is a well-shot, moving tale featuring good performances from the young cast. The film earned an Oscar nod for Best Adapted Screenplay, and it won for Best Foreign Language Film. Source: YouTube

I don't know that there is a list. People have asked about specific songs used over the years, and you could go through the threads and compile your own list. Most threads of that nature are in the "Information, Please" section.

Donkey Skin (1970) - 6/10 French director Jacques Demy finally went around the bend with this fantasy musical. Catherine Deneuve stars as a princess whose father the king (Jean Marais), slightly mad with grief over the death of the queen and vowing to marry the most beautiful girl in the realm, announces that he will marry his own daughter. To escape this untenable situation, the princess pretends to be a scullery maid named Donkey Skin (she wears a donkey's skin, of course!), and she meets a prince charming (Jacques Perrin). With Delphin Seyrig as the fabulous Lilac Fairy Godmother, Micheline Presle, Fernand Ledoux, Henri Cremieux, and Sacha Pitoeff. This very colorful, child-like fairy tale has some charm to go with its bizarre lunacy. The production design is a mix of the gorgeous and the tacky, with some elaborate costumes, and set art that looks like something a stoner would paint on the side of his van in the late 70's. In the end it's still a French musical, so I could only enjoy it so far. Still, I liked it more than the critically acclaimed Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Young Girls of Rochefort.

Claire's Knee (1970) - 5/10 French drama from writer-director Eric Rohmer. Jean-Claude Brialy stars as French Cat Stevens, a 30-something-year-old guy who the chicks really dig. He meets old friend Aurora (Aurora Cornu), and vacations on a lake, where he meets landlady Madame Walter (Michele Montel) and her teen daughter Laura (Beatrice Romand) who immediately has a crush on French Cat Stevens, because girls at that time really dug Cat Stevens. Later, FCS meets Laura's slightly older sister Claire (Laurence de Monaghan), who has the best knees. One look and FCS falls for her, and can't wait to get his mitts on that sweet, young knee. Plus, talking. With Gerard Falconetti and Fabrice Luchini. Rohmer's shtick has worn thin for me by this point, with insufferable French pseudo-intellectuals spouting inanities while contemplating bedding each other. This was #5 in Rohmer's Six Moral Tales. I can't wait for the last one to see how it all gets wrapped up. Source: The Criterion Channel French Cat Stevens, undoubtedly scoping out some hot knee action.

Bed & Board (1970) - 7/10 French comedy-drama from writer-director Francois Truffaut. In the further adventures of Antoine Doniel (Jean-Pierre Leaud), he's now married to longtime girlfriend Christine (Claude Jade), and the two are making a go at life. She gives violin lessons, while he dyes flowers for a nearby florist. When they learn that a baby is on the way, Antoine seeks new employment piloting remote control boats (!!!!) for a large company, where he meets an exotic Japanese woman (Hiroko Berghauer), tempting him toward infidelity. With Daniel Ceccaldi, Claire Duhamel, Barbara Laage, Daniele Girard, and Claude Vega. This was another entertaining film from Truffaut, nearly as witty and charming as Stolen Kisses.
