Yes, but I’m guessing Sabooshs doesn’t think much of the film.

I just remembered that and came in to poast it.
Yup, Billy Wilder's movies !!!
I also found Dog Day Afternoon very funny.
A Separation (Iranian) also comes to mind, although there are several others I could also mention.

He seems to only watch Bollywood movies, and occasionally the latest Godzilla or Jurassic Park which he then mawks.
He would have liked it had it been Schindler's Menu
He also wonders if Sophie's Choice was between a donut or a gulab-jamun.

Ah, I must finish this. I was watching it with my dad once (2013). He fell asleep around the 48 minute mark. That was when his dementia was progressing. Never got around to finishing it.

DDA funny? How so?
Odd bit of trivia about that film...John Cazale co-starred with Pacino in three films, all of which were nominated for Best Picture (winning twice); he co-starred twice with RDN and both won Best Picture. His only other film, The Conversation, also was nominated for Best Picture. The Deer Hunter was his last film he acted in before dying of cancer but archival footage of him was featured in The Godfather 3, which somehow also got a Best Picture nomination.
If you got Cazale in a film you were guaranteed a nomination.

I was going to sort my picks by my fave directors but I like your approach even better. Here it is, my top 10-ish (see below) followed by a close second/third in its respective genre:
Comedy - City Lights (Chaplin) / Sylvia Scarlett (Cukor) / I Was Born, But . . . (Ozu)
Drama, Contemporary - When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (Naruse) / Yearning (Naruse) / Make Way for Tomorrow (McCarey)
Drama, Period - Gertrud (Dreyer) / The Magnificent Ambersons (Welles)
Epic - Sansho the Bailiff (Mizoguchi) / The Leopard (Visconti)
Horror - Kuroneko (Shindo) / Vampyr (Dreyer)
Literary Adaptation - Ran (Kurosawa) / Great Expectations (Lean) / The Best Years of Our Lives (Wyler - yes I understand it's based on a novella written specifically for the picture)
Musical - The Young Girls of Rochefort (Demy) / A Star Is Born (Cukor) / The Band Wagon (Minnelli)
Romance - Children of Paradise (Carné) / The Earrings of Madame de . . . (Ophüls)
Science Fiction - Stalker (Tarkovsky) / A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Spielberg/Kubrick)
Thriller - M (Lang) / The Night of the Hunter (Laughton)
Obviously some of the categories overlap but these are more or less what I'd come up with even if I didn't have to restrict myself to each genre. And as you can see I gave moi allowance for one more entry in four of the categories as it proved too painful to leave them out. A best-films list without an Ozu simply felt wrong, while McCarey's unsung masterpiece remains, with the only arguable exception of Ozu's better-known Tokyo Story, the single greatest on-screen depiction of the cruelties society inflicts upon the elderly. (The director himself considered it his best film, and indeed when he accepted his Oscar for Best Director for The Awful Truth which was also released in 1937 he quipped, "Thanks, but you gave it to me for the wrong picture.") I've expressed my love for Wyler's almost equally unheralded picture (though I doubt that's the case anymore) in another thread, and the Minnelli classic deserves a shout-out for all time for this sexiest/coolest of all sequences in cinema:
Kael once groused about the Cyd Charisse character's balletic pretensions before adding that all is forgiven once she flaunts those perfectly sculpted legs. No argument from me!!!

No, I didn't know about the book, sounds exciting. I especially like movies that can combine fantasy and drama. Both are not easy to master and to mixing them together is even more difficult.
Not sure what made you sad in Spirited Away, it has a happy ending. It still remains as my favorite movie. I guess I am/was a child who also wanted to save his parents.
