Top Ten

Now for my favorites:

Alice's Restaurant I cannot
say enough about this movie. It is
the one movie o of this list which
will undoubtedly stand up under
the test of time. Arthur Penn is the
best American director today. See
it more than once.

Sterile Cuckoo Alan Pakula's
direction is noticeably unnoticeable.
Liza Minelli is
ably notable. Sterile Cuckoo is
noticeably beautiful.

Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice
A controversial entry in the New
York Film Festival, this film is
characterized by a strangely original
directorial style. The liberal newlyweds
of today are given their most
sympathetic and amusing treatment.
The movie will be here next
semester.

- Castle Keep - Unfortunately
this film was passed over. Sidney
Pollack's style is naturalistic, comic
and unreal. He combines these
elements and successfully demonstrates
the absurdity of war.

Last Summer Frank Perry's
youths are emotionally fluctuating.
They are cruel and considerate,
amusing and sad. Consequently,
"Last Summer" is not really about
youth but about everyone. Honesty
is worth seeing.
