  1. I don't watch a lot of foreign films but one French film that really impressed me was the Wages of Fear I believe it was a 50"s or 60"s movie. I saw it years ago on AMC or TCM so it should be widely available.

    1. I'll keep an eye out for it. I just checked, and it's not online. It's in print, but it's a Criterion edition and so is expensive. I'm so glad Criterion has those 1/2-price sales! I read some reviews, and it's widely praised and has been since its release. Thx for the recommendation!
