Everyone’s a critic.

Here are some great flicks I’ve seen over this passing cold, wet winter that I highly, highly recommend. This list is tipsy on the West and WWII, but what times and places for film fodder of the ages.

All of these films are worth discovering, although the movie below from the USSR I actually rediscovered this winter after watching it for the first time in Ukraine three years ago.

San Francisco (1936, USA)
Flame and Citron (2008, Denmark)
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009, USA)
A Prophet (2009, France)
Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears (1980, USSR)
The House on 92nd Street (1945, USA)

True Grit (1969, USA)
Memories (1995, Japan)
