  1. Three great films this year: Stagecoach, Wuthering Heights, and Of Mice and Men.

    I think Stagecoach is still one of the best screen Westerns. It's John Ford at his best.

    Laurence Olivier gives a fine performance as Heathcliff, and Geraldine FitzGerald is fiery and ravishingly beautiful in  Wuthering Heights.

    I think Of Mice and Men is the best film Lewis Milestone ever made. The novel is also one of my favorites.

  2. Some of my favorites have already been mentioned, so I would like to add two interesting, well-made movies from Spain:

    Concursante (Contestant). Directed by Rodrigo Cortés. With Leonardo Sbaraglia, Chete Lera, Miryam Gallego, and Fernando Cayo.

    A black comedy/thriller about a man whose life takes a turn for the worse after he big on a quiz show. Director Cortés does a fine job keeping the right tone for the movie, a nice balance between comedy and paranoia. Leonardo Sbaraglia (Plata Quemada) and the rest of the cast give fine performances.

    La Torre de Suso (Suso's Tower). Directed by Tom Fernández. With Javier Cámara, Gonzalo de Castro, Malena Alterio, Emilio Gutiérrez Caba.

    A man who, after living abroad for years, returns to his hometown to attend the funeral of an old friend, and decides to fulfill his friend's dream of building a tower.

    Very funny comedy about friendship and lost love, with good performances, especially Javier Cámara and Emilio Gutiérrez Caba.
