The likes of:
I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang
Gold Diggers of 1933
My Man Godfrey
A Day in the Country
Holiday
Only Angels Have Wings
The Roaring Twenties

La Ciénaga (which I found really self-satisfied)
The Tribe (which is just repulsive)

Also, The Lives of Others is as dull as hell.

And while 'dislike' is far too strong a word, the charm of Chaplin films still alludes me.

climactic dictionary scene ... which was amusing in a droll way.

5. Beau travail

Some of my favorites are on your unseen list but I suspect you won't be a fan (Dancer in the Dark, Ratatouille, City of God); however, I'm dying to know what you'd think of About Elly because I just saw it recently and actually sought out your and other forum members' opinions about it because it left me feeling especially inarticulate.

I got around the length problem with Les Vampires by watching the episodes individually, and found it thoroughly delightful.

I still need to watch both About Elly and the Past, but I greatly enjoyed A Separation and own both, so I don't know what my deal is!

I think Fireworks Wednesday is Farhadi's best film, so you might as well toss that on the kevyip too.
