QuoteThere's so many great B&Ws.
Some one's that stick out in my mind:
Night of the Hunter
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Maltese Falcon
Nosferatu
Some Like It Hot
The Apartment (?, another Billy Wilder & Jack Lemmon one)
Raging Bull - 1980
Some people sweat that this is the best film every made because of the acting and storyline. They may have a point, its definitely in my top ten anyway. A must see if only for the opening scene in the film.
An emotionally self-destructive boxer's journey through life, as the violence and temper that leads him to the top in the ring, destroys his life outside it. When Jake LaMotta steps into a boxing ring and obliterates his opponent, he's a prizefighter. But when he treats his family and friends the same way, he's a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment. Though LaMotta wants his family's love, something always seems to come between them. Perhaps it's his violent bouts of paranoia and jealousy. This kind of rage helped make him a champ, but in real life, he winds up in the ring alone.

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Saw Clerks for the first time last night. Have to say after hearing so much about how it's a 'cult classic' I was pretty disappointed with it. It's dated badly, the acting was for nothing and it wasn't that funny.
Maltese Falcon is great, although good luck making sense of the rather convoluted storyline,and Casablanca is one of my favourite films ever.
I have the Seventh Seal on DVD tonight, should be a nice contrast to Clerks.
I think the Maltese Falcon makes a lot of sense at the end.

Mentioned above already but just watched 12 Angry Men. 95% of the film in one room & well worth a look.
The Ladykillers
Some Like it Hot
Watched Sunset Boulevard for the first time yesterday and I'd second that nomination too. Saying it's excellent doesn't really do it justice to be fair
All About Eve - Bette Davis, George Saunders and a breif appearence by Marilyn Monroe taped it a few weeks ago - not bad
Days of Wine and Roses I'd say. Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick?
Good show.
Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf is better though.
