Touch of Evil triple-cross-post!
It's some kind of a movie. What does it matter what you say about cinema?
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

I can't even bear to try and make a top ## list. I always get near the end and suddenly start thinking of more movies than the number I'm trying to keep the list under.
Also, different movies mean more to me on different days (seeing the recent Criterion THE THIRD MAN with the commentary made me realize I'd let the movie slip down my list mentally when it's somewhere in the top 20, if not 10).

Need to throw Touch of Evil and Wild Bunch on my netflix queue.
I believe I really liked it but spent the entire movie waiting for someone to say "Play it again, Sam."
Like a number of "famous" movie quotes, it's never actually spoken in the film, but is a telephone-like bastardization of the line "Play it, Sam. You played it for her, you can play it for me."
Also? Seekrit message to Kath: I CAN HAS LINGENBEREEZ?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That movie is the one thing that makes Charlton Heston tolerable to me (not his performance, just the fact that he pushed so hard for it to be made -- studios were already getting a little tetchy about Welles and Heston's enthusiasm for the script and the director made it very hard for them to turn Welles away).
