From China:
Kung Fu Hustle (for the entertaining humor) House of the Flying Daggers (for the cinematography) especially the final fight scene in the snow, stunningly beautiful

Tons of good gangster movies. Millers Crossing by the Coen Brothers certainly ranks up there.

Day of the Jackal was great! Although the book was even better. So too the book for Hunt for Red October.

I agree on both counts Arthur. Same with "Three Days of the Condor." In the book you got three extra days! It was titled "Six Days of the Condor."

My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Yes, with William Holden. I own it. Having been to Stockholm many times, it was interesting to see. Good flick.
