My movie year (not yet)

Instead of my usual brief mention of films I've seen, this time I'm going to take note of a few that I haven't. But a quick skim of the following has definitely boosted them to the top of my viewing list.

The Oyster Princess (1919 - Germany), directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Considered to be the first real Lubitsch comedy, it looks great, and so does the sparkling print used on the Kino DVD. And how could any film with a face like that not be funny?

Atlantis (1913 - Denmark). Another beautiful-looking silent, made within a year of the sinking of the Titanic, and based on a novel that predicted the disaster before it happened. (Its author, Gerhart Hauptmann, won the Nobel for literature the following year). The version I have also includes the alternate, "tragic" ending made for Russian audiences.

The Frightened Woman (1969 - Italy), music by Stelvio Cipriani. How many movies have you seen that have hooked you with the opening credits? This one got me, thanks to the visuals and the fantastic main theme. You can watch/download it here (12MB/wmv file) and see if it hooks you, too. Then, if you're curious, see the full view of what you've been looking at for 90 seconds.
