CINECAST! Contempt, btw.

Your awesome new blog post suggests The House Is Black:)

My number two film, by the way, would be Andrzej Munk's Passenger ... though that could change once we watch Vidas Secas for the 1960s World Cinema series.

You know, I might have to seriously change my vote to the Zapruder film...

Yeah, nice post!  But seriously, where the hell was Chungking?

1. Charade - I"ll probably be the only one voting for this but whatever.
2. 8.5

EDIT: Wooo! 2 for Charade!

Seriously, Charade? Come on, people!

8 1/2 by a country mile (though I'd be inclined to vote for The Birds if it stood a chance of getting 2nd place).
Wanting for Thor what Thor wants for Thor.

High and Low

I despise using this word, but I would go so far as to call it a masterpiece.
-Le Chiffre: You changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Yep.

I'll even say that 8 1/2 is overrated (don't worry, I still think it's really good).
