- As my tastes and perspectives evolve, many old reviews no longer reflect how I now feel about them.
- Jules and Jim (1962) - There are a few cliches you cannot fault a film for using. One is the love triangle.

Spoiler: Highlight to viewThe ending surely inspired those of Bonnie and Clyde, Thelma & Louise, and others.
