Personally, I don’t like David Fincher, but I think Fight Club is a masterpiece. If only for the shot where they introduce Helena Bonham-Carter’s character, and she’s got smoke pouring out of her like she’s one of the undead. It’s just a big, mean, angry movie that says exactly what it’s trying to say without — this is corny, but I can’t think of a better expression — without pulling any punches.

His Girl Friday is still one of my top 10. I would say that it should replace Bringing Up Baby, but Rain’s mad enough at me as it is.

And good call on Superman. It totally belongs on there.

“The Crying Game”? I agree. Doesn’t survive with the others on the list.

Where is “His Girl Friday” or “The Hustler”?

For me, even though it is not considered a “classic”, “Superman — The Movie” is a must see.

Chuck, e-mail me so we can catch up.

Anyway, I think I’m going to save “Taxi Driver” for last. It’s been on my list of movies I have to see to become movie literate (or at least to be able to understand Combat Rock completely) that I’m afraid what’ll happen if I finally watch it.

ZING!

Of couse I disagree with you almost completely, except for the “Pink Flamingos” thing.

Also missing from the list: “Manos the Hands of Fate.”
