Battleship Potemkin

★★★½☆

Watch this film for the Odessa steps sequence - which is stunning, disturbing and consuming. Watch it for the camera placement and how he builds tension. A must-see for film students it is the first real use of montage in film making.

How to steal a million

★★★★½

This is a brilliant, witty, feel-good movie that’s deftly directed. I try to watch this movie once each year to laugh and sigh and smile. Like reading an old, familiar, happy book, this movie brings joy, peace and comfort. Audrey Hepburn is at her charming, gamine best. Peter O’Toole is his suave, dashing, debonair self. And the whole movie is just a pure delight to watch.
