Decade by Decade Pure Cinema Canon
Happy 2023! Elric and Brian kick off the new year with a sort of response to the latest Sight and Sound List of the greatest films of all-time, by doing their own list of the Pure Cinema Canon of Great Films by listing two films each per decade from the 1920s on up to the 2020s. This was not an easy task but was a lot of fun and hopefully makes for an enjoyable discussion.
