NOT INCEPTION! ;)

Bonjour Tristesse-a dated Preminger drama that I watched only for Jean Seberg and David Niven. Not particularly very good, but not a bad random selection from the rental shelf.

The Trouble With Harry-Saw this on a gorgeous original VistaVision print!! Extremely underrated Hitchcock film where he turns from suspense to black comedy. Stunning-the Technicolor hadn't faded one bit! It even had the old style of reel cues-tiny white circles.

The Bridge On The River Kwai-watched this old DVD for the last time in preparation for looking at the new restoration. It was definitely in need of some cleanup because the last restoration was in 1985! God, it always takes David Lean to remind me of why filmmaking is worth pursuing. For the first time the story actually completely held together for me. Usually I get slightly bothered like many at how much time the story spends on the Shears character. Maybe I've just become too big of a fan of Bill Holden.
