A Clockwork Orange -- now there's a movie that is a favorite of many I have known. But the book brought tears to my eyes just reading the violent parts; don't think I could stomach watching it (or should I say viddying it?). Same with Passion of Christ: too graphic for this Catholic! Think I'll stick with the book ;) The Battleship Potemkin is a movie I frequently see homages to and feel I ought to see. The original Ben Hur is one I'd love to see. A documentary on movies I saw years ago showed side by side comparisons of the chariot race from the 1925 version and the 1959 version. William Wyler, who directed the 1959 version, felt the scene in the 1925 version was so perfectly done that he recreated it as an homage to the original -- same camera angles, same props, etc.

I love the faces of the onlookers who are so clearly delighted. Too bad there's always a few who look bored or disapproving. I wonder what their lives are like. But I don't wonder for very long.
