The 39 Steps (1935) dir. Alfred Hitchcock
A Fish Called Wanda (1988) dir. Charles Crichton & John Cleese
Gothic (1986) dir. Ken Russell
Three visions of England, and reassurance that Americans aren't the only psychos in the world speaking English. If you're unfamiliar with the work of Ken Russell, check out: Altered States, The Devils, and Lair of the White Worm. His career is a bit under appreciated (partly due to his negotiation of taboo and "blasphemous" subject matter) but contains some truly remarkable pieces of cinema history along with some of its most haunting, memorable images.
