As a UNC film major, we spent long hours over beer, burgers and coffee debating the celluloid of the days gone by. The great directors ... Wells, Hitchcock, Wertmuller and Truffaut. ... Pekinpah
The hours of film that have washed over me then and since are innumerable.
In Atlanta my frequent haunt was the Film Forum showing the likes of Man Friday, The Ruling Class, Harold and Maude and The King of Hearts which, oddly they always paired with Bambi Meets Godzilla as a short at the beginning
saw it at nyu, as a cinema grad student. chantal akerman attended. she was in town fir the premiere of her commercial flop tgat starred wm hurt and j binoche, a couch in ny. the other grad students loved it. i hated it. compression is one of the hallmarks of movie story-telling, and the movie chosr not to ude it, instead making us suffer the tedium and boredom of the main chatacter. this was the artistic choice of the director, on the anti-bourgoise postmodernists love as it proved, in their minds, that the role of homemaker and mother and wife are degrading, dehumanuzing and anti-femininist. and thats why it won this poll, too: ideology over aesthetics. the star of the film, the beautiful delphine seyrig - buried in the cemetery montpatnasde, also starred in last year at marienbaf, a masterpiece of surrealism.
Oddly enough, my wife and I were scrolling through the films available to us on TCM and came across this last night. Alerted to its #1 Sight and Sound ranking by your article, we started watching. Although impressed with Jeanne's potato boiling prowess at the beginning, we quickly decided to "cleanse our palates" by watching an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

:smiles in remembrance:
Were most of the ballots unfolded?
Reminds of me "Used Innocence." Wow, what a brain destroying waste of 95 minutes. Also, it featured a character named Bambi!

This review of yours reminds me of why I rarely care to watch movies and often end up having contempt for the time I wasted at it. Kudos!
