Belle de Jour. Arguably Luis Bunuel's most gripping study of eroticism, and certainly one of the old master's all-time achievements. This 1967 release documents the plunge of a stunning Catherine Deneuve into the abyss of masochism, highlighted by brilliantly filmed vignettes of surrealism and as bizarre plot twist, bringing Deneuve's wife of a Parisian physician (Jean Sorel) to the doors of a brothel for a job.

Brooks freaks who love to see people farting or punching out horses and those who expect outrageously funny dialogue will be equally disappointed by High Anxiety. The movie, dedicated to Alfred Hitchcock and filled with little imitations of the master, just isn't very funny, except in a few spots. Once again, the film is a Brooks extravaganza--he wrote, produced, directed, starred and out-did himself this by writing the words and music to the title song. You'll never guess who sings...
