Because it's October there are a fair number of horror films this month. I recommend all the horror films directed by Jacques Tourneur as well as those directed by Terence Fisher and those produced by Val Lewton. There are also a number of other good films in October:
Oct. 3 Vincente Minnelli's Two Weeks in Another Town (1962), an impressive melodrama about making movies.
Oct. 5 Minnelli's Band Wagon (1953), a somewhat melancholic musical with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse, and Nicholas Ray's Party Girl (1958), a sort of gangster film/musical
Oct. 6 John Ford's beautiful and moving How Green Was My Valley (1941)
Oct. 8 Mark Sandrich's Follow the Fleet, with Rogers and Astaire dancing to Irving Berlin music.
Oct. 11 Rudolph Mate's corrosive film noir D.O.A. (1950)
Oct. 13 Godard's Breathless (1961) and Andre De Toth's Pitfall (1948)
Oct. 15 Orson Welles's Citizen Kane (1941)
Oct. 18 Ernst Lubitsch's brilliantly funny Trouble in Paradise (1932)
Oct. 20 Michael Powell's A Canterbury Tale (1944)
Oct. 25 Jean Renoir's masterpiece The Rules of the Game (1939)
Oct. 29 Raoul Walsh's politically perceptive A Lion is in the Streets (1953)
Oct. 31 Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960)
