Um, that would be Rope. At least, once you correct for what couldn't be put on the screen in 1948.
And STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (like most Highsmith) is hardly lacking in the serious HoYay! department, either.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Gael Garcia Bernal in drag? A gay Spanish remake of Vertigo? When does this movie come out in the States??

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I watched Gingersnaps II this weekend. My manager lent me the DVD. He's now my favorite manager ever. (Well, he was before, too. But his adds to his lead.) Good lines, excellent ending.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Thanks, Kate. And just because it has to be said, I fucking hated The Cell as well.
My friend and I laughed during Vince Vaughan's disemboweling.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is Hollywood really so bereft of talent and originality?
Is this a trick question? Don't you remember they made a movie out of The Beverly Hillbillies within living memory?

Bad Education is fabulous in many, many ways. Not the least of which is Gael Garcia Bernal being a thing of beauty, and a joy forever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No one has ever successfully escaped from Precinct 13.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I think I could like Dougray Scott as Bond.

Hey. New board.
New Joss X3 rumor. Admittedly, this comes from somebody I don't know, in a webforum I rarely read, that is in no way a Joss or Movie-related forum (Specifically, it's a forum devoted to high-quality pictures of female celebrities.) But, still.
ETA: Huh. Nevermind, old news. The same quote appears to be on Moviehole, and was actually linked from whedonesque. I am apparently behind the times. Ignore me.
