CITIZEN KANE

BRINGING UP BABY
SHADOW OF A DOUBT (have to have a Hitchcock on there somewhere!)
Now for the REAL fun - looking at everyone else's list!
You're a John Sayles fan, I see, Ruby! I fondly recall discovering THE RETURN OF THE SECAUCUS SEVEN (gulp!) 26 years ago in a Manhattan movie theater.
It's been too long since I've seen A FACE IN THE CROWD. (Especially considering it's a chance to look at Lee Remick - hubba hubba <g>)
I play the theme from FARGO every time I do a movie music program on my radio show.
