(May 2009 - July 2009) - As I progress with my adventure, I become more and more fascinated by foreign films. Often, films of France, Italy, and Japan completely overshadow the majority of the American films that I watch. It's evident that I'm entering and era when foreign films and foreign directors began to gain popularity in America. My favorite American movies of 1958 are incredible examples of two genius filmmakers at the tops of their respective games. Hitchcock's Vertigo and Welles' Touch of Evil are hard to beat when you look at the rest of the releases this year. I'm not positive which I liked better. I shouldn't discount the rest of the year's offerings. Admittedly, it was hard to develop a top ten list, with so many fun movies to choose from.

Top Ten - Ashes and Diamonds, Big Deal on Madonna Street, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Cranes are Flying, The Defiant Ones, The Hidden Fortress, Mon Oncle, A Night to Remember, Touch of Evil, Vertigo
