Agreed. Sometimes you just need to go with what's in your heart in service of the greater good. Mission accomplished.

R:15. X7 They were both oddly hot, but which I am Curious do you prefer, Yellow or Blue?

Thanks Alf!

this one breaks hearts...

High and Low is great. It's actually my favorite Kurosawa, samurai or no samurai.

CHALLENGE: Third is not a number.

S:17. X4 Criterion #539 is titled House. No, not the grumpy doctor and unfortunately not the one where Richard Moll shows up half decayed and toting a giant machine gun. I’m sure the William Katt House was better than this one because it led to 3 sequels. Which Sequel was the best?

then, technically 49th wouldn't be a number either.

Yes it would, because 49 is a number and it is in the title. If it was The 3rd Man, it would be correct.

We will start with these two answers

SO it came down to House 2 and House 3. I never knew Dedee Pfeiffer was in house 3, nor did I know she had such a following here.

I actually think I agree with you. your challenge is upheld.

The Third Man +5

S:18. x4 Most of the time when I watch a Criterion I’m watching blind…sometimes I am surprised by my reaction to it. Occasionally, I watch something and afterward I’m like, “WTF was that? “ Name a Criterion movie where you were confused, annoyed, and generally thought of as a waste of your time after watching it.

I was surprised how spread out these were, but there are definitely some "head-scratchers" here

Here are a couple that people agree on

This one occured to bunch of you guy, just not me...
