Mister Designer 1987
A phantasmagorical journey into dreams and nightmares. A film of enigma and sublime transcendence. Cinematography and sets: exquisite; lush colors. Nearly every frame, a canvas of artistic masterpiece. The epitome of a film where the soundtrack (here by the avant-garde genius, Sergei Kuryokhin) is not a mere supplement but is essential and fundamental in the film's complex design.
My favorite formula in film: watch it over and and over and keep noticing nuances, clues, meanings and mysteries. A film that transcends movie-watching. A film gives food for thought and interpretation.

I Wake Up Screaming 1941
Well worth seeing if only for the top notch performance of the brilliant Laird Cregar. He simply shines. This film is a great introduction for anyone unfamiliar with this underrated, fantastically talented actor.
Unique soundtrack and great lighting.

The Old Man of the Mountain 1933
A great lively performance by Cab Calloway and his Orchestra of a little known song. Animation is as irreverent as expected. Imaginative and droll. It is interesting to note that the animation of the Old Man closely resembles Robert Crumb's drawings.
