Sunset Blvd.

Agreed. It just beats The Apartment or Some Like It Hot. He is one of my favourite directors.

Sunset Blvd.

Agreed. It just beats The Apartment or Some Like It Hot. He is one of my favourite directors.

I have a feeling Ace in the Hole could also be in contention once I manage to see it again when my DVR doesn't crap out an hour into the film.

I should vote for The Major and the Minor just for the Veronica Lake gag. But I won't.
