Stalker (1979,  Unrated)
Stalker
Tarkovsky comes close to perfection in his ultimate masterpiece. Visually this is possibly the best film ever made, it contains several shots that should be ranked amongst the best ever put on celluloid. Stalker is a philosophical Sci-Fi film in an environment that reminds of the post Tschernobil area. It's so deep that the questions that it raises at the end cause you to think about if for days. Truly am-az-ing work of a Russian master.

Höstsonaten (Autumn Sonata) (1978,  R)
Höstsonaten (Autumn Sonata)
Amazing how Ingmar Bergman manages to depict the tormented inner soul of characters in such a believable way. Emotions are captured remarkably well here. This movie (although it feels more like you're watching a theatre play at times) that features beautiful music of Chopin, is about the troubled relationship between a mother (Ingrid Bergman) and daughter (Liv Ullman). Things run out of hand during the night when the mother visits the daughter. Ullmann's long, emotional monologue is chilling to watch. Both lead actors deliver the performance of their career.

    Fascinating list! Contentious ratings! I concur with many of them, but I would rather watch "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" on a loop for the rest of my life than sit through "Solaris" a second time.
