Fanny (1961)
Top of my list!
I saw this movie in 1961 when I was 16 years old. It touched something deep inside me then and still does to this day. Jack Cardiff did a magnificent job photographing this movie. The kissing scene on the steps, under the single bulb, is so perfectly composed, it would make a great painting. Only recently did I discover it was a musical before becoming a motion picture. The musical score is so evocative, so poignant, that together with the beautiful photography they add up to a remarkable movie that will have a tremendous emotional effect on anyone with a heart. What a wonderful, wonderful movie! I understand the first DVD version of Fanny will be available this June. I can't wait.
Above Suspicion (2000)
Ingenious plot
If you're like me and often frustrated by illogical movie plots (Why do smart people do dumb things in the movies?), then you'll appreciate the ingenious ending to this little film.
You might also appreciate the acting job turned in by the teenager who plays the daughter. She was picked out of a local soft ball team and had no prior acting experience.
