the cigarette flits in the
flicker of the lit sign
signalling night has struck
the down-on-their luck
plume behind the shroud
in the gutter bottle eyeing
the heel-clack strut smelling
of blossom-rose and regret—
as the projector dance
strikes dirt-speckled
and light winks to your face,
depicting glances of eyes
which cut something true—
the smoke lingers... a while, yes—
'mesmerizing' you say, always—
Thank you to all the individuals who submitted lists 😄 — as always, couldn't be done without you. And now you must reap what you sowed.
A total of 378 unique films were submitted. Turnout was excellent, and I really believe we made a great list here. I know it's the 50s, so this makes sense, but whenever I was tallying lists I couldn't help but repeat to myself— 'these are all classics! banger after banger after banger!'— there's some good stuff here, I'm tellin' ya.
Runner-ups in alphabetical order: Giant, The Magician, Pickup on South Street, The Red Balloon, 3:10 to Yuma
Director(s) who appeared most on the list (with ? films)—
TBD
