Thirteen movies to which I keep coming back, with renewed pleasure

• The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Huston)
• Dr. Strangelove (Kubrick)
• O Lucky Man! (Anderson)
• The Passenger (Antonioni)
• The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie(Buñuel)
• Chinatown (Huston)
• The Stuntman (Rush)
• Repo Man (Cox)
• Blue Velvet (Lynch)
• The Spanish Prisoner (Mamet)
• To Live (Zhang)
• Moliere (Mnouchkine)
• Ohayou (Ozu)

Some movies that have stuck in my mind of late:

• Tous les matins du monde (Corneau)
• American Splendor (Berman/Pulcini)
• The Draughtsman's Contract (Greenaway)
• Phantom of Liberty (Buñuel)
• The Devil, Probably (Bresson)
• Secretary (Shainberg)

No rationale. I just like these:

• Donnie Brasco (Newell)
• The Trouble With Harry (Hitchcock)
• Paris, Texas (Wenders)
• The Exterminating Angel (Buñuel)
• The Big Sleep (Hawks)
• Holiday (Cukor)
• Local Hero (Forsyth)
• My Blue Heaven (Ross)
• Tempest (Mazursky)

And of course, anything with Buster Keaton is always worth the while.
