I'm going to do this again, too. I have seen every film by FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT, except Such A Gorgeous Kid Like Me, which I am saving to ease the suffering of my deathbed, unless I don't die in a bed, then I guess I'll never see it. Two English Girls is my favorite film, I think. Kubrick taught me at a young age what English language film could be. Last Tango In Paris is perfect, but Bertolucci blows. Orson Welles is the voice of god/God.
