2025-03-02 23:21:02 +0000 UTCI love A Hard Day's Night, After Hours, and The King of Comedy. And Ace in the Hole is great, very prophetic Au hausard Balthazar is a very thought-provoking film, but IMO it might be too slow for most viewers. But I could be wrong.

2025-03-01 15:23:46 +0000 UTCAs with most people here, I'm sure, I could list hundreds of films. Not practical, so I'll just list a few that start with "A"; • A Christmas Carol - 1951 • A Hard Day's Night - 1964 • A Serious Man - 2009 • Ace in the Hole - 1951 • After Hours - 1985 • All Night Long - 1981 • Anne & Muriel (Two English Girls) - 1971 • Au hasard Balthazar - 1966 Comments: "A Christmas Carol" - best film version of the story, and probably the best Dickens film adaptation. "A Hard Day's Night" - Does one have to be a Beatles fan (or even just heard of the Beatles) to enjoy this? I hope not. "A Serious Man" - IMO, the most underrated of all the Coen Brothers' movies. "Ace in the Hole" - Dark Billy Wilder is the darkest dark. "After Hours" - why does it seem that all of Scorsese's films are about gangsters? Only four are (not counting "Gangs of New York"). This and "The King of Comedy" are two of the most accomplished and uncomfortable black comedies ever. "All Night Long" - I believe everyone here has missed listing this Gene Hackman gem (likely because it doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere - oh well). It wasn't successful, but I think its worth seeing. Gene stars as a downwardly mobile store manager in a mid-life crisis; Barbra Streisand also stars, and sings one song (badly). Very offbeat, possibly because it was directed by a Frenchman? (no offense to France or any of its fine directors). "Anne & Muriel" - I most often think this is my favorite Truffaut, but it's hard to choose. One young man, two young women. Complications ensue. Original title: "Les Deux Anglaises et le Continent," most widely known in English "Two English Girls," but I like the UK title best. "Au hasard Balthazar" - The leading character is a donkey. Need I say more? ...yes, probably. Title donkey is passed from one owner to another, enduring all sorts of suffering. The End. Most of these probably aren't widely liked enough to win a poll, but all are worth a look or two IMO.
