For curious minds

For the film buffs, here is the viewing list for Film Appreciation this semester (in alphabetical order):
Annie Hall
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Citizen Kane
The Devil's Backbone
Joyeux Noel/Merry Christmas (2005)
Night of the Hunter (Mitchum, not Chamberlain)
Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Psycho (1960)
Sin City (if we have it)
Singin' in the Rain
Stagecoach (1939)
Some Like it Hot
Tampopo
Tron

Why Stagecoach rather than The Searchers? Searchers is prettier, Stagecoach is a better overall enterprise. And there's the length thing.
Why Tron? To show a movie can rock in one area and be weak in another (and because it's cool!)
I may add Murnau's Sunrise. We'll see.
