The Third Man
Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:40pm.This is what classic noir is all about. Exquisite in black and white.
Modern Times
Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:39pm.The first 30 minutes is the funniest, most memorable chunk of comdedy you will ever see on film. Does it stand up over 70 years? Indeed yes! Charlie Chaplin is kind of like the Kinks in music... only read more »
Blow Up
Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:31pm.Antonioni's first film in English... this sets the bar for coolness. Our guy gets Vanessa Redgrave (sexiest backside in history) AND Jeff Beck's smashed guitar. Amazing to look at.
L'Avventura
Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:24pm.Beautiful, exquisite film -- especially the first hour -- but then it's hard to keep track of what's going on. Unless you know Italian or are a fast reader.

Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:18pm.Ultimately overrated but still a must-see! Russ Meyers' "mainstream" release gives all the good stuff and then melts down into violent weirdness. Very weird weirdness. Makes you wonder about Roger Ebe read more »
The Quick and the Dead
Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:06pm.Great western with Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman. Sharon is hot as hell and Gene is over the top in this send-up of Fistful of Dollars. It might edge on camp, but it gets better every time we watch.
Le Cercle Rouge
Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:05pm."The Red Circle". A stylish French trendsetter from back in the day... doesn't really stand up over time. Every single scene in the film begins with a car arriving.
Black Widow
Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:03pm.Not bad for the 80's....
The Island
Submitted by jack on November 19, 2006 - 9:02pm.A cross between Dark City and Logan's Run. Smartbabe Scarlett has to act like a twit.
