I would particularly like you to watch the following:
No 5 A Matter Of Life And Death (Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger)
The enormous, infinite escalator which transports Carter (David Niven) to heaven was constructed over three months by the escalator stalwarts of the London Passenger Transport Board. It was driven by a 12 horsepower engine which was so loud that all dialogue had to be dubbed in post-production.
No. 11 The Long Day Closes (Terence Davies)
I would like you to look at the cut out and keep guides, for example this one on James Cameron especially if you are interested in World Cinema.

Music and sound is an important factor in Terence Davies’ study of mid-50s Liverpool, and the soundtrack is densely packed. Gustav Mahler, Judy Garland and Nat King Cole are all featured, as well as thirty-five pieces of original music.
No. 12 My Beautiful Laundrette (Stephen Frears)
Stephen Frears’ second film was made for TV, originally to be broadcast on Channel 4, but garnered enough interest to be given a theatrical release, where it received international acclaim and proved to be Frears’ breakthrough.
