Actually, I dug your list quite a bit too; after looking through it, I felt a bit guilty about leaving off Tarkovsky and Bresson completely. And The Crowd was, for me at least, a no-brainer, if only because a large section of my thesis went into exploring that film (in near painful detail). <BR/><BR/>Jacob - Valerie is easily one of the most haunting (and haunted) films I've ever seen; it's the sort of movie that still gives me goosebumps just thinking about. Actually, if I get accepted to any of these cinema studies pHd programs I'm applying to, I would really like to do a more all-inclusive study of the Czech New Wave--which Valerie is an integral part of.<BR/><BR/>(btw: the Second Run R2 DVD of Valerie can be purchased on Amazon.co.uk for a pretty cheap price--don't buy the Facet disc.)<BR/><BR/>James - I had no idea Jeanine was being rereleased! I own the R2 DVD and was considering springing for the Akerman boxset... but might wait if more is coming out of the woodwork. Glad to hear it.<BR/><BR/>(Oh, and psssst! If you're going to post these, would you mind replacing my "F" selection with "Funeral Parade of Roses (Matsumoto, 1969)"? I immediately felt guilty when I put Suzuki's film in its slot...)<BR/><BR/>That was a really long post! And I have so much to do!

Masters of Cinema released an excellent R2 DVD of the movie about a year ago, which I highly recommend.

But there is a Region 2 DVD from Masters of Cinema. Chuck Williamson has it. That's how I saw it, in Hovet's class. I think you would be safe just buying it, as long as you have an all-region player. I can almost guarantee that you would love it.<BR/><BR/>Ibetolis,<BR/>I don't know if it was quite my foresight as much as the fact that I haven't seen most of the like 10 movies that start with "x" and I felt ashamed for not having MAGNOLIA on my list.
