No Billy Wilder film made my list and he is one of my top five favorite filmmakers! It was gut retching to leave The Apartment, as well as Sunset Blvd, Double Indemnity and Some Like it Hot off the list! I did go with a Hitchcock film and a Chaplin but not the same ones.

So many great movies to consider -- what I hope is that our islands maybe once a year allow us to pick ANOTHER five, or set up an off-island lending program with fellow bloggers. :-)<br /><br />I always come across something I've never really watched -- with yours I can't, for some reason, ever remember watching The Apartment all the way through, or mindfully at least. Truly no excuse for that! It's now on my must-watch list! We always learn so much from these great lists from fellow film/TV lovers! <br /><br />Terrific list!! And tricked-out desert island, too! xoxoLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345830456539347899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-73377026282140665612016-05-15T23:22:58.008-04:002016-05-15T23:22:58.008-04:00Spa?

Indeed, I almost included VERTIGO--my favorite Hitchcock--but ultimately bumped it for REAR WINDOW. I'm still not sure if I made the right choice there. THE APARTMENT was another one on my short list. Yes, Jack Lemmon is fabulous, but it's also my favorite Shirley MacLaine performance (and nothing else comes close). Like Caftan Woman, I thought SUNSET BLVD might be shown on your island paradise.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-27635465984525613052016-05-15T22:57:03.321-04:002016-05-15T22:57:03.321-04:00Okay.
