DVDs weren't out yet, so please ignore my box set

[sovay]

The hundred movies meme was even harder to assemble because I spent far more of my childhood and adolescence immersed in books than in movies and therefore many of the films on this list were not so much formative as illuminating once I finally started paying attention to cinema as an art form, and/or they wired themselves instantly into my brain and are quoted regularly to this day. A list of favorites might overlap significantly but not identically, I imagine tilting more heavily toward sff and noir. I feel it may be a much more mainstream list than my formative books, although still full of meaningful absences. (I sacrificed a number of classics as well as movies whose circumstances were potentially more important than their content, but just glitched on The Medium (1951) and Katerina Izmailova (1966), both of which I even own.) I find it very difficult to try to winnow accurately. I may just not be designed for this format of meme.

David Finch's Stone Steps (1992) sounded a little like what you were describing.

It does look something like it, although at only 21 minutes, it definitely can't be. But I appreciate you keeping an eye out for me! You never know. It must exist! It probably fails to be quite like what I'm describing in some factor or other, no doubt, but I feel I would know it if I saw it.
