All About Eve (just becaues I've never seen it on the big screen and the more big screens it ends up on the better my chances).
Double Indemnity or Witness for the Prosecution
I would agree with Shadow of a Doubt as a Hitchcock selection.
As a relatively unknown selection I'd suggest 1969's Medium Cool as a good revival with pertinence for our current political and journalistic environment.
The Third Man is another I really want to see on a big screen.
Another forgotten film worthy of a revival is 1979's Saint Jack. The bridge between Bogdanovich's great period and his hack period. It was an attempt to get back to basics going guerilla in Singapore and making a very interesting movie in the process. Best performance of Ben Gazzara's career.
