Nearly every film on that list has a devoted cult following that I feel disqualifies it from being "forgotten."
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

to catch up, my middle finger cooperates quite well, I just can't get the little finger to do anything without the ring finger getting involved, either up or down. They're so co-dependent.
There seems to be more of a sense of isolation/desolation in Spaghetti Westerns, ie, the long establishing shot of an empty landscape and one guy on a horse. A lot of SF has the same feeling.

My ex-husband would screw the three finger hypothesis all to hell; he used the little, ring and middle finger to indicate three. I've been known to do that myself, occasionally.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My Dad does that too.

That's what I do, too--see previous co-dependent finger issues.
Of course, now we're revealed as alien spies, so we'll have to kill you.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have seen 3 fingers counted from either side of the hand, or the middle. I go back and forth between thumb and middle 3, but usually do the "German" way (because the middle 3 mean "W" t /ASL )

Wow, The Hurt Locker is already playing at the $2 theatre near me! I might have to go see it again for that price.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We finally saw Brick, which we DVRed off of free HBO preview week a while ago. Best High School-Film Noir-Coming of Age- Comedy-Murder Mystery I ever saw. I really liked it. I am a sucker for movies which mash up genres in an interesting way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
If you like that, you likely will enjoy the director's followup "The Brothers Bloom." I liked this movie quite a bit.
