I've only seen 3 on your list, Birdman, Mockingbird, Manchurian, All good! Ill add
The Longest Day
Dr. No
Mutiny on the Bounty - The weakest of the 3 versions IMO but still worth watching.
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Gypsy
The Miracle Worker
Lawrence of Arabia - Overlong and overrated (IMO) but still a must see.
I have to catch some of these in your list. I just watched Knife in the Water a few months ago. You could definitely see the directors budding talent at play. The Loneliest of the Long Distance runner was also unique, I just couldn't predict were that film was going.
For me.. To Kill a Mockingbird was near perfect, and I love war films and The Longest Day is very watchable, which I sometimes revisit on Memorial Day.
Very cool. I hope you do. Please let me know what you think!
I didn't see that ending for "Loneliness......", but it made sense after. He wasn't going to sell-out, and join The Establishment just because there was a carrot for him. Especially since they had been screwing with him, until they found a way to use him (beating the other school) and he wasn't going to be used. Winning the race is very symbolic, and he mentions earlier that he (quoting his dying father) that he waits for the day when the workers get a piece of the pie.
Knife In The Water" was another unique movie, full of tension. I think the older man saw a bit of himself in the younger man, and wanted to show off in front of his woman.
I never saw "The Longest Day", but I do have Mitchum on automatic record.
