How ...Appropriate...


rentadvd.ca once again came through for me. this is what i got from them today:

the life and death of colonel blimp (criterion collection) (powell/pressburger, 1943)
close encounters of the third kind (collector's edition, two-disc set) (spielberg, 1977)

but check out this description of colonel blimp from allmovie.com:
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's drama criticizing a British Army out of touch with the new realities of World War II was controversial when released, with the British government denying its cooperation to the filmmakers and with Powell and Pressberger accused in some quarters of being pro-German.

ha. reminds you of anything?
a film like this would never be made right now in the u.s.
