I've seen 4 thus far:
- Faces
- Woman Under the Influence
- Shadows
- Husbands (on the Starz Channel)
Must mention A CONSTANT FORGE, a 3 hour doc from Criterion about his work. It took me too long to "discover" his directorial films but I'm plowing through.
THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE is on tap for tomorrow.

Having seen all but
Killing of a Chinese Bookie
(I own it and will see it very soon) and

- Opening Night 10/10
- Minnie and Moskowitz 10/10
- Faces 9/10
- Shadows 8/10
- Gloria 8/10
- Husbands 8/10
(A Child is Waiting, 6/10)

Killing of a Chinese Bookie is defanitely my favorite from him. And it is one of my favorite mob movies (maybe not my FAVORITE, but it is up there).
Then comes "Husbands"
Then comes "Love Streams"

- Faces
- Husbands
- A Woman under the Influence
- Opening Night
- Shadows
Then it becomes quite random, a question of moods, but I like them all, the only one I haven't seen is LOVE STREAMS, but I will try to get it as soon as possible, there's a french DVD-Release (Code 2) by the way.
Cheers
David

I just completed a course on Cassavetes and his films. We watched all his films except for Big Trouble. My order now would have to be the following:
Love Streams
A Woman Under The Influence
Husbands
Opening Night
Faces
Shadows
Killing of a Chinese Bookie
Gloria
Too Late Blues
A Child Is Waiting -

It's great to see how many people realise just how important Faces is/was, probably the greatest USA-ian film of all time.
- Faces
- A Woman Under The Influence
- The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (original cut)
- Opening Night
- Shadows
Putting a film at the bottom of the list is quite difficult, especially considering that Shadows is one of the best USA-ian films of the 50s.
Truly brilliant film-maker.

Why not just say American instead of USA-ian? That sounds sorta wierd. I haven't seen HUSBANDS, TOO LATE BLUES, A CHILD IS WAITING and BIG TROUBLE.
A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE
MINNIE AND MOSKOWITZ
LOVE STREAMS
THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE (love both cuts the same)
OPENING NIGHT
SHADOWS
FACES

First of all, America is a country, North America is a continent. And second, why are you referring to yourself in the third person?

USA is a country, not America, that's a continent. You must be from there, hence your inability to understand the difference. Your country doesn't even have it's own name. How stupid would it sound if France was called the United Provinces of Europe?
How am i talking about myself in the third person?
