#15: The Letter (1940) (dir. William Wyler)
This won't be the last Wyler film I write about, but it was my introduction to the powerhouse acting and wide-eyes of Davis. A stunning opening tracking shot alone is worth paying close attention to.
#14: "Red Dragon Tattoo" - Fountains of Wayne
Adam Schlesinger is one of my favorite songwriters, so this won't be the last time he comes up. Him + Chris Collingwood wrote many of my favorite pop anthems ever.
#13: Wendy and Lucy (2008) (dir. Kelly Reichardt)
One year after seeing this movie, I adopted a cat I named Lucy for a reason. This film also kickstarted one of my favorite actor/director collaborations ever.
#11-#12: "Divorce Song" "Fuck & Run" - Liz Phair
I missed last week's song write-up so decided to double up this time with an artist that has two songs on my list that absolutely changed the way I listen to music.
#10: Brief Encounter (1945) (dir. David Lean)
Some love isn't meant to last and that can be both tragic and beautiful.
#9: Take This Waltz (2012) (dir. Sarah Polley)
Technically this is a re-edit via Letterboxd, but since this movie came up in the generator and most of my feelings are the same... Sarah Polley's Take This Waltz is next up. It still hits home.
#8: "Hide" - Matthew Sweet
Again, lots to say about this particular songwriter who I'm glad has come up with a "hidden" gem in his vast discography. Sweet truly means a lot to me.
