(February 2009 - May 2009) - Another very good year with foreign films really soaring. Ray's Aparajto, the second film in the Apu Trilogy is incredibly emotional. Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, a samurai version of Macbeth, is stunning to watch. Bergman's The Seventh Seal is a masterpiece of film that commands your viewing. American films were just as impressive with Witness for the Prosecution and 12 Angry Men competing for my favorite film of the year. I'd give the edge to 12 Angry Men for its dramatic excellence and social importance.
Top 10 -- Aparajito, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Nights of Cabiria, Paths of Glory, Peyton Place, The Seventh Seal, Throne of Blood, 12 Angry Men, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, Witness for the Prosecution
