Speaking of noir, JZ watched the original Postman Always Rings Twice with me recently and the legendary Lana Turner/John Garfield chemistry was entirely on display.
Oh, that's a good one.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hepburn/Grant in Philadelphia Story.
Oh, they were good. Still no Tiger/Dragon, but of the more classic movies, definitely my favourite mentioned yet.
I may need to see the original Postman too.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Alan Ladd/Veronica Lake had some terrific chemistry in their flicks together.
Oh! Henry Fonda/Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve. I hadn't realized the appeal of a foot fetish until I watched the cabin scene.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
the legendary Lana Turner/John Garfield chemistry was entirely on display.
The best part of this movie is how obvious it is that Lana Turner is capital-T Trouble, and watching Garfield's inability to step back from teh lust and think carefully. In Cain's other big novel, Double Indemnity, the male protagonist throws himself off the cliff in full possession of his faculties, but The Postman Always Rings Twice is like watching a guy too doped up to know better.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jamie and Aurelia in Love Actually.
Not classic, but a new favorite of mine.

I know we have some Gary Cole fans here, so I wanted to include this bit from Stephanie Zacharek's review of Ring 2.
I read this as Gary Coleman and was mightily disturbed.
I hate Sally and dislike Harry but love When Harry Met Sally. Strange.
