BILLY LIAR (’63): Another of those unique, memorable #BritishNewWave pieces. Tom Courtenay is said Billy, picking up his last name thru his propensity to lie about pretty much everything, big or small, meaningful or not. Creatively comedic, especially when he juggles the difficult sorta-fiancées. But this gains its heart in the third act, between family tragedy and the romance with Julie Christie. She’s so genuine and terrific here. Unforgettable sequence at the train station and finale too.
