Black Narcissus (1947) by Powell and Pressburger, with Deborah Kerr and many others. I don't know how to think about it: visually arresting, with some flash cut editing and a couple hysterical scenes. Glad I saw it, though, it's one of the must see films for cinephiles.

Love this movie - for starters Jack Cardiff's work on it was superb. The film has a real air of forboding throughout and great performances too - particularly from Kathleen Byron as Sister Ruth.

I watched His Kind of Woman last night....

"Father's Little Dividend". 1951 sequel to 1950 "Father of the Bride". Another Spencer Tracy classic. Perhaps the Archie Bunker proto-type?

Director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven. Putting those 45 minutes back into the film most definitely brought an improvement.

Agreed! The movie's only a mere brush with actual history but it was very good none the less.

My recent fave is the HPLHS's new movie "The Whisper In Darkness".

It is a fantastic adaptation and like their earlier effort "The Call Of Cthulhu" though they made some additions to the storyline I thought they were well considered and tastefully done. While "COC" was done as a silent film "TWID" is a 'talkie' in keeping with their "Mythoscope" esthetic and has fun mimicing the 1930's style monster films.

These folks are doing the best Lovecraft adaptations to date and I hope they keep on keeping on.
