And though I had not singled out <B><I>Screaming Mimi</I></B>, that has been rectified and I look forward to seeing that too. Thanks for the rec!<BR/><BR/>As for the unreleased films poll and <B><I>the Class</I></B>, we were instructed only to list films that had commercial releases <I>in San Francisco</I> in 2008 on our main list. It seems different contributors took different approaches to a film like <B><I>the Class</I></B> which had a local festival screening in 2008 but is getting its commercial release here in a couple weeks. Perhaps verifying your <A HREF="http://daily.greencine.com/archives/007275.html" REL="nofollow">comment</A> that using NYC/LA releases as a national standard is no longer valid.Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531345904528580427.post-7893942332596037322009-01-14T13:13:00.000-08:002009-01-14T13:13:00.000-08:00Brian, thanks for organizing this.

It's not like San Francisco had a handful of good screenings in 2008. Tons!<BR/><BR/>It's interesting to see Carriage Trade on your list because I really wanted to see it. (I've never seen anything by Sonbert.) But it was in my last few weeks in SF, and I had an avalanche of preparations to make, so I missed it. Ah well, I'll just have to leave it on the to-see list.davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10459132352667973470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531345904528580427.post-52000522831430390492009-01-14T10:15:00.000-08:002009-01-14T10:15:00.000-08:00I hope you have the chance to see Blue Angel in En...I hope you have the chance to see <B>Blue Angel</B> in English, and <B>Screaming Mimi</B>. Not totally unrelated, <B>Screaming Mimi</B> was directed by Gerd Oswald, son of German director Richard Oswald.<BR/><BR/>I looked at the lists of unreleased films and could not understand why <B>The Class</B> was listed. It has a distributor, and is scheduled for U.S. release next month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
