What the corpus says about I Am a Camera (1955)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished I Am a Camera (1955) and wants to know what to watch next.

Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about I Am a Camera (1955) and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

[Blank Check — Patreon · Fear & Desire / Killer's Kiss · 1:37:35 · David Sims (0.40)] I Am a Camera ⇒ Cabaret (the host's read) · lineage · I Am a Camera, from the Berlin stories, led to Cabaret. · "I am a camera, which is, of course, uh, the Julie Harris movie that will eventually... Come, Camera, inspires the guys into cabaret, yes."
[Blank Check · Star 80 · 1:23:50 · David Sims (0.40)] Star 80 ↔ Cabaret · theme · Fosse's female characters like Sally Bowles and Honey Bruce got rich interior life, which Star 80 lacks. · "I would even argue, honey, Bruce, like, you know, who really is, like, pretty wonderful."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Trolls: The Experience · 1:23:36 · unknown (0.35)] Trolls ↔ Cabaret · theme · Can't Stop the Feeling starts as a pleasure and by the end feels menacing, like Tomorrow Belongs to Me in Cabaret. · "It's like in cabaret when, you know, when the Nazis all start singing, what's it called?"
[speaker] David Sims · latest sketch, Blank Check · The Last Temptation of Christ · Prepares history: novel, casting, budgets, box office. Reveres the film and thinks it reads as a normal ground-level story. A sucker for Hollywood deal backstory and box office game. · stances: Praises Keitel and Dafoe casting; Respects Scorsese's persistence and Corman discipline; The film is now well regarded though not 'canonical Marty'
[bits] Blank Check: The box office game (Guessing the film's opening weekend and what it was up against); The sung theme ("Blank Check with Griffin and David", sung; the transcriber garbles it)

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with I Am a Camera (1955); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend I Am a Camera (1955) itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.

Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.

You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.

Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
