Hana no ato a.k.a. After the Flowers -- Nakanishi, 2010.
Ai to kibô no machi is a very nice early effort for Oshima; it concerns a poverty-stricken boy who scams people by selling pigeons, which fly back to him so he can then resell him. Dark, but good.
Balkan ekspres had its ups and downs, but the story of a group of minor criminals masquerading as a band in Nazi-occupied Serbia had some really good moments and suspense.
The Constant Nymph is a British version of the film based on the Margaret Kennedy novel -- the more famous 1943 version stars Joan Fontaine and Charles Boyer, but I think I marginally prefer this 1933 version more. I'm not a BIG fan of the book or the movies overall, though...they're very soapy and pretty predictable.
Picture Snatcher was a very solid James Cagney picture where an ex-con tries to go straight as a crime photographer.
Pre-Code Men of Chance makes it very clear that Mary Astor is working as a prostitute when she's recruited in France to pose as a countess and beguile handsome gambler Ricardo Cortez. The two work nicely together, though the film isn't much without them.
Hawks's The Crowd Roars also has a lot of pre-Code stuff in it; it concerns James Cagney trying to help his little brother get a leg up in the world of sports car racing. This is a rare Cagney-Blondell pairing in which the two are not on the same side as lovers, pals, or relatives.
The Irishman...well, I'm glad I saw it in the theater, and I liked it, but good old Thelma could have done a bit more editing than she did and the picture might have been even better. Joe Pesci's restrained performance was particularly impressive.
I had some hopes for Hana no ato, because this samurai film uncommonly featured a swordswoman as its main character, but early in the film, I was preparing myself for serious disappointment: it seemed incredibly predictable and even somewhat soapy. Around the middle, though, it delighted me with a couple of unexpected turns, and it became interesting. It's no masterpiece, but an unusual viewing for samurai aficionados (I've seen a handful of other samurai films with female warriors/swordswomen, but not many), and not nearly as bad as it was shaping up at first.
