Best Shot: Final Two Episodes!
Tuesday, October 20, 2015 at 6:29PM We promised two episodes to conclude our sixth season of Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Join us in these parties by picking what you think of as the movie's "best shot" on the following days. We'll link up.
A ROOM WITH A VIEW (James Ivory)
Deadline Wed October 21st - Here are the first articles !
One of the greatest movies ever according to sane people like your host. "Merchant/Ivory" became a substitute name for an entire genre (the costume drama) for a time but there was never anybody as good at as them in their heyday. See Helena Bonham Carter & Daniel Day Lewis as engaged young Brits back when they were babies before anybody knew who they were. Plus Rupert Graves and Julian Sands at their prettiest. And, last but not least, Dame Maggie & Judi, best friends in real life, as best friends on screen. And so much more!

REPULSION (Roman Polanski)
Deadline Thursday Evening October 29th
In which virginal Catherine Deneuve totally loses her (mental) shit. A psychological horror and the first of Polanski's three consecutive films about people losing their minds in apartment buildings. (Rosemary's Baby was right around the corner.)

I just rewatched Rosemary's Baby. Must see Compulsion again.
I've just mentioned Repulsion two posts ago. Love it. Was it me? LOL
A Room with a View is close to perfection. Julian Sands is the only weakness.
Cal -- your love for it i am aware of :) but i promised this one ages ago but never saw it anywhere streaming (which makes for more participation) but here is it on youtube.
2 great films - I upgraded Repulsion to Criterion, but not Room with a View, yet. Also upgraded My Beautiful Laundrette on Criterion recently. What a glorious young punk was Daniel!
YEY for Repulsion!
Gah! I wish I wasn't so swamped in schoolwork because I would love to participate in these two. I look forward to reading everyone else's work!
