But I'm not surprised he made it to the top of the list either. What I've learned from this is that the films which move and excite me the most, may not be from the consistently outstanding directors. If I were asked who my favourite director was, before I wrote this list, I'd probably say Marcel Carne. And if I were asked what my favourite film was, I'd probably say The Blue Angel. It's a personal, empathetic reaction to the films, regardless of the universal qualities which define great achievements in film. For example, I know very well that 2001: A Space Odyssey is a far superior film to Johnny Guitar on many different levels, but that didn't stop me from excluding one from the other. I know now that 'the list' cannot really define greatness based on popularity, because by that logic, Tremors would come up top of the list, due to it being my annual Christmas movie! Thanks for reading! Any comments are welcome!

So sorry - I only just got your message! (7+ months later). David and I did keep checking for message throughout our 3 month tour and couldn't work out why there wasn't a reply, but I blame it on my android phone, or perhaps my inability to use it properly! If you like you could drop me a line by email when you can - yes , it would be great to meet up. Will tell David asap that I got your message. So sorry about the delay. Hope to catch up soon. Best Wishes, John ps remember: apart from say Szigetti, there were very few non-portly, great, male violinists.... Hi Detlef,

But it must be in Oslo, rather than rainy Bergen. If not, then in London, when you come over the next time. I am happy that you like the website. NeoKitsch is becoming more exciting by the minute. You will see an explosion of new projects there very soon, with an ever growing group of Creatives in Residence. Just keep looking-and in touch of course. All my kindest wishes Detlef Dear Dag

I was visiting the Valdres Summer course two years ago to listen to some of the teaching, unfortunately I arrived the evening after the morning you left! Things are much the same with me as with John, loosing hair and gaining weight... All the best Dag Hi Detlef, compliments on your website!
