Well, I've been watching some, but sometimes I like to look ahead:)

[OscarGuy]

Are you already caught up with the ones from 1952?

[FilmFan720]

Hey Wes, want to let us in on the next three or four years after 1952? Some of us are trying to get ahead on our viewing for some of these years.

[Big Magilla]

Correct.

[rain Bard]

Peeking ahead to 1952: Limelight is still ineligible for our purposes as its Los Angeles premiere came 20 years after its New York engagement?

[Big Magilla]

Correct, To Have and Have Not is Oscar eligible in 1945, the others are 1944.

[rain Bard]

Looking ahead to 1944 titles, I found four that seem at least semi-conspicuously absent from Magilla's and Penelope's lists:

First off, To Have and Have Not- presumably this is not eligible as though it was released in 1944 in New York, it didn't make it to L.A. until 1945.

The other three are Robert Siodmak's technicolor jaw-dropper Cobra Woman, the great classic of Mexican Golden Age cinema Maria Candelaria, And Val Lewton's least-known film made at RKO, Youth Runs Wild, directed by Mark Robson. Any reason to think these three shouldn't be eligible?

[Big Magilla]

1954, the year of its L.A. release.

[Penelope]

Ok, I'm going over the 1952 list and I've come across something interesting: Forbidden Games (Jeux Interdits) received an Honorary Oscar as "the best foreign film released in the U.S. in 1952" but then was nominated for Best Motion Picture Story at the 1954 Oscars. Which year should we go with? It's definitely a film that deserves recognition.

[FilmFan720]

You're right. I just looked up the NY Times. Well, that will certainly be important before my next turn:)

[Big Magilla]

I don't know. You're assuming that the imdb. is correct, but Ikiru didn't open in New York until January, 1960 and was reviewed by the N.Y. Times then. I suppose it's possible that it was shown somewhere in the U.S. in 1956, but where? It would be highly unusual for a foreign film to be shown somewhere else in the U.S. prior to its New York opening.

The imdb. often contains misinformation that it later corrects. For example, they used to show Ozu's Tokyo Story as having opened in the U.S. in 1964, but recently corrected that to 1972.

[FilmFan720]

Magilla, you have Ikiru on your 1960 list, but wasn't it a 1956 release in America? I don't want to leave it off my nominations, but want it in the right year:)
