"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

I'm actually pretty happy with my list so far:
Young Frankenstein
Double Indemnity
Strangers on a Train
Nosferatu
On The Waterfront
Outside of missing Maltese Falcon in the first round, I'm loving my list."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

I would've picked On the Waterfront if it had made it back to me.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Liberty Valance was on my list.

Requiem is another one that had one of the great endings of any film. For lack of a better word, it was bittersweet. Sad that Mountain ended up like that but such a noble, unselfish, heroic act to bail Maish out while sacrificing his own dignity. Anthony Quinn nailed that role. Jackie Gleason was convincing w his performance, too.

Liberty Valance also had a poignant act of self-sacrifice. Instead of his usual role as the hero that saves everybody in the end and gets the girl, Wayne played the unfortunate soul that gives the girl away to his rival. The "steak" scene is a classic.

I gotta say, nice work with those last two picks! Superman & the Mole Men, and Meshes of the Afternoon - after a quick google I want to watch them both!It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.
