Perhaps you were thinking of our esteemed Admin - and his small Mozartean son? (though you'd have had to do some spelunking to have caught just a few hints of 'our' Duncan: surely one very Large handful for a mere adult to be trained-by) :-0

Remember all those wonderful theories: that with the Wealth of Nations, there would be all these opportunities for Everyman to Raise-his-sights? All those dead Trade-Unionists whose heaped dead burned bodies bought US the "40 hour work-week" - furthering that Goal?

OK so.. what we Gots was - Reality Tee Vee and neon lights in a Pee Cee case. And LOTS of Stuff. (Stil.. our Eloi are quite more expensively dressed, too.. if not as stylishly as the originals.) Ugly Pants: our style for the Ages.

You forgot, [link|http://207.136.67.23/film/Reviews/bicycle_thief.htm| The Bicycle Thief] (De Sica)

I can only say that this film can possibly change your value system forever and I will rate it the greatest film I have ever see to date. I implore you to view it at least once in your lifetime.

[link|http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ForbiddenGames-1007681/preview.php| Forbidden Games] - what War and children have to do with each other. (I remembered those distinctive names, Brigitte Fossey, Georges Poujouly forever, for some reason)

But Props for the others on your list. Wages of Fear would need an older child and Seventh Seal a one with deviant tendencies towards reading William James instead of watching James Dean.

{sigh} Don't even think.. about all the Disney pabulum and Terminator 5, the Trans-Gender Affair (or someone will Make It).

And at least we may hope - copies of all these shall survive, even a period of Vandals and a temperature of 451\ufffd F.
