Cemetery Film Screenings - request for suggestions - Page 3

Some Fuller-- Shock Corridor, for instance. (Though Forty Guns-- also excellent.)

Some Hitch-- I agree that Shadow of a Doubt deserves more attention.

Harold and Maude. Harold and Maude. Harold and Maude.

Some Wilder-- Apartment's good, but I can never love a last line as classic as the example in Some Like It Hot.

What about a short-film fest? Old animated shorts, old b shorts, old newsreels? Keaton?

Did they show Sunset Boulevard last year? If they didn't, they really damn ought to.

And a silent. City Lights? We just watched Modern Times again and that was terrific.

Song of The South double featured with Birth Of A Nation

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.

I would like to see Whatever Happened To Baby Jane and Arsenic & Old Lace.

Well, you can always check out the Glendale Center Theater where rumor has it that a certain pipe-tootin' swanker may just land himself a role

He's playing Baby Jane, right?

Desperado would be good. One of the best damned first few minutes of a movie.

Or Raising Arizona. Gotta love a movie that has the pre-opening credits last for half the movie!

Oooh, Cohen Bros. would be good. My vote would be for Oh Brother or Barton Fink.

How about Last Action Hero followed by Heaven's Gate - movies that killed many careers, and in the case of HG, killed an entire film company.
