Incomplete but growing...
Generally speaking, the best
(those who wish to understand the complexities of David Dault would do well to consult the following)
Alphaville
- My favorite movie. Jean-Luc Goddard takes on Sci Fi and Film Noir and makes everything dada
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
- a meditation on war, love, regret, redemption, and honor. Starring Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto, "Beat" Takeshi and David Bowie
Cyrano de Bergerac (1950)
- the Jose Ferrer version. The "aristocratic" Cyrano, over against the 1990 "proletarian" take of Depardieu
Kung Fu films
Fist of Legend
- Jet Li
The Legend
- Jet Li
Master of the Flying Guillotine
Young Hero of Shaolin
