• Videodrome (1983) • Giant (1956) • Body Heat (1981) • All That Heaven Allows (1955) All these films are almost perfect. My favourite is All That Heaven Allows. Even if it’s a melodrama, it’s so...

Man’s Favorite Sport? (1964)
This one is quite different from Pillow Talk and Lover come back. It’s a film by Howard Hawks, and it’s obvious, he even plagiarises one of his most famous gags from Bringing Up Baby. Here, Rock...

Written on the Wind (1956)
This one is much better, and much less innocent, than Magnificent Obsession. Besides, it plays a little bit with structure. Anyway, I think that All That Heaven Allows is more perfect and deals better...

When a film starts like this, it must be good (Saul Bass, of course). A paranoia, a dystopian history about who we are and who we would like to be. And, like all good science fiction films, with a lot...
