I have, but many years ago. It’s up for a re-watch. Mamma Roma I remember I loved.

mamma roma is good, but teorema is really special!! porcile has its moments too, especially the scene where the beauteous pierre clementi playing a savage repeats the lines "i killed my father, i ate human flesh, i quiver with joy." interestingly, the only one that didnt really grab me was accattone.

I’ll make it a priority!
Haha, I remember Porcile. Another one I haven’t seen in a long time. It was gruesome, but still a thoroughly good film. Interestingly, I had the same experience with Accatone. I really wanted to like it.

Of those, the L-Shaped Room and Billy Liar are two of the next films I'm planning to see.

Withnail is brilliant, and I'll check out the others - thanks.

seen many. Off the top of my head..
Taste Of, Billy, Hobson’s Choice, Victim, are my favorite 4 of the British films.

The man who came to dinner, Bringing up Baby, The member of the wedding, Christmas in Connecticut, from the American films.

Mamma Roma, is great.


Never mentioned by him or on his lists. Though he did use a screenshot from the film.
Is the 1962 film called Eva, directed by Joseph Losey. Starring Jeanne Moreau and Stanley Baker. A must see.

I'd be interested to hear about the films you've all seen which are related in any way to Morrissey's interests
(or those that he has specifically referenced or mentioned)

I'm quite interested in older cinema (mainly French poetic realism, French new wave, British kichen sink, the golden age of Hollywood)

I also enjoy newer independent British cinema.

What are your favourites?

Always open to recommendations.

Happy to kick things off:


Pépé le Moko (1937)
Brighton Rock (1947)
The Blue Lamp (1950)
Rebel Without A Cause (1955)
Room at the Top (1958)
The 400 Blows (1959)
Look Back in Anger (1959)

Morrissey's influences are just millions of others of his generation, in the UK, which is no bad thing. That was part fo his talent, like Matk E Smiths said he keys into a certain mindset of a certain generation. In some ways, he likes stuff that were more popular the generation above him , i mean Ray Davis and John Lennon were also big fans of Kitchen Sink, lets face it most Brits are
You forgot Withnail and I , Victim , Accident etc etc etc

I believe the Stanley Baker image for use as the cover of the Lady Willpower single didn't get permission - so was used on a drum head cover instead.

if so, that would have worked well as the single’s image, considering the film’s subject matter.

2 films Morrissey previously recommended that I got to watch in the past week:

The Honeymoon Killers (1970) is based on a true story revolving around a string of romantic passions and murders in about equal measure that makes for a heady hair-raising drama. Shirley Stoller and Tony Lo Blanco star. An interesting fact is that Martin Scorsese was supposed to direct this film but was fired after two weeks for being too slow and meticulous.

Trailer



Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush (1968)
A very different much more upbeat movie, about a teenage boy coming of age in England. Starring Barry Evans, Judy Geeson and Angela Scoular. 500 Days of Summer did come to mind but this is more frank, with a busy plot, and lots of comedy moments. Risqué at times, if in a quaint dated way, but very enjoyable
