How about Manos: The Hands of Fate? Everyone needs to see Manos again.

Except me.

Touch of Evil

Great film it's recently been restored. The first 5 minutes are worth everything, masterpiece of a single tracking shot. Thanks for reminding me of this! Only flaw, Heston as a hispanic! Ew!

I added to my list:

There's a whole slew of great early 70's films I missed. I was too young to see them in theaters and they wern't being shown at revival theaters yet.....and video didn't exist (remember when....) Patton, Last Picture Show, Nashville, Billy Jack, French Connection, Network

Or some 60's Oscar winners that I have never seen: The Apartment, The Hustler, Hud.

Or maybe Splendor in the Grass, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?, Suddenly Last Summer, Blow-up, Bonnie and Clyde, Midnight Cowboy, Easy Rider, The Trip, Psych out.

They showed "Strangers" last year. I never end up seeing Lifeboat for some reason. Rear Window and North by Northwest seem to be on all the time (but I'm still not sick of them).

All great films, well not Billy Jack but that has it's own appeal. I saw that on a first run at the Hacienda Cinema in Sunnyvale....also saw Vanishing Point, always a warm spot of me, until the end.

A double feature of Delicatessen and Les Diaboliques would be nifty.

Do they go for a specific mood or is the film selection pretty much divorced from the location?

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.
