Not all great movies perhaps but some of the best the studio system ever made plus some great work by maverick directors like Sir David Lean, Sam Peckinpah and Jules Dassin. This will be provide a little finish off to the movie blogs I've done this month. Goodbye August. See you next year, and bring cooler weather.
A collage of film clips of some of the the best work by American and foreign film makers from 1930 to 1970, approx. Music by Igggy Pop and the Stooges. With thanks to Commander Putney of You Tube for the video and Aaran Aardvark for the inspiration.
great clips , fab song , love Iggy Pop !
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is some list you have there Doug, now you have inspired me to compile a list of my favourite films too and so it goes as Kurt Vonnegut might have said. Great video, Iggy always does a good show, secondary vocals are of course by David Bowie who also travels well I think.....nice one!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the music and the montage. Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteMost of these films would indeed find their way on my list of favorite movies of all time, not coincidentally I think because they were films I saw when younger and had maximum impact. The glaring exception to Commander Putney's list is, of course, a lack of Alfred Hitchcock films. There are always atleast one glaring exception to any book or video compilation.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to do such a list but the presentation is all and I need to figure how to do it and do justice to the best of them.
Speaking of glaring exceptions, I recently re-discovered a coffeetable book I laid away on cinema over the first 75 years of commercial film. It's by a couple of noted critics, one British, one American. And darned if they manage to make no mention whatever of Welles' "Citizen Kane"(1941), or much of anything by Welles apart from a passing refernce that he was a director who was once married to and did a film with Rita Hayworth ????
What the HELL gives!!!
Bit like doing a book on alternative music from the 60 and 70's and leaving out Frank Zappa.
Didn't notice the Bowie secondary vocals there. Now I do. Thanks AA.
I had never seen it. I will have to go check it out.
ReplyDeletereally enjoyed that, always loved Iggy
ReplyDeleteWhich film do you mean Fred?
