AND FAVORITE MOVIES WITH “OF” IN THEIR TITLES

Another fun list for me, helping me fall asleep to the sound of the rain and memories of the pleasure these movies gave me and still do.

ANATOMY OF A MURDER
THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES and THE BELLS OF ST. MARY’S
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES
EAST OF EDEN (a lot of which I find overblown melodrama, but a lot of which I also find original and unique movie acting and storytelling)
FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS
GRAPES OF WRATH
HEART OF GLASS
IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER and IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH
JESUS OF MONTREAL
KILLER OF SHEEP and KING OF THE HILL
THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (Michael Mann’s version)
THE MIRACLE OF MORGAN’S CREEK
THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
OUT OF THE PAST
THE PIRATES OF THE CARRIBBEAN
Q?
RUGGLES OF RED GAP and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
SHADOW OF A DOUBT and THE SANDS OF IOWA JIMA
THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE
THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG
V?
THE WIZARD OF OZ
X?

ha! I am sitting in a motel room only a few miles from where many of the scenes in Anatomy of a Murder were filmed. 50th anniversary of the movie this year. The old folks still talk about how nice a guy Jimmy Stewart was.

"Tess of the d'Urbervilles," 1979 version, "Tess," by Roman Polanski. New version to come, starring Lady Gaga.

Toby, I'm assuming the Lady Gaga bit is a joke, right? Right?!

Intentionally a joke, but if I imagined the prospect, someone in Hollywood has.
