Foreign Films

I've been trying to pick up some of the non-U.S. classics recently, and now I just have to watch some of them.

Just tonight, it's a supposed greatest ever - Jean Renoir's "The Rules of the Game"



The time before, it was French New Wave. Jean-Luc Godard's "Masculin Feminin"



Before that, British Ealing Studio's "Kind Hearts and Coronets" - with Sir Alec Guinness in a pre-Sellers 8 roles!



And going back further, Japan. Yasujiro Ozu's "Tokyo Story"



Obviously, I'm letting Criterion guide me somewhat in this area. Can I be blamed? If you want me to burn copies for you, just let me know.
(kidding.)

Tonight, we're watching "The Last Waltz" - one of the sure-fire greatest ever.
