Brief Encounter is not typical of my usual favorite films, and yet it is one of the best movies that I've ever seen. I've now watched it three times in the last few years and each time I've been blown away by how perfect a movie it is.
My favorite films tend to be screwball comedies from the 1930s and 1940s, film noir, and Alfred Hitchcock movies. I've watched many of them numerous times.
I had never heard of Brief Encounter until recently and just cannot praise it enough. The cinematography is fabulous as is the Rachmaninov soundtrack. The cast is excellent and the fact that it's comprised of ordinary looking actors and actresses adds to the overall impact.
Flawless perfection throughout!
