Teorema - I really, really, really, really am going to get around to seeing this soon. I'm a total Pasolini fan, but I'm too lax about working my way through his films.
Our Hospitality - nice Buster Keaton film. Not my favorite by a long shot, though. I think that the NFT is showing this very soon.
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - so so so classic. Great Robert Shaw, Walter Matthau, Jerry Stiller, Martin Balsam, Hector Elizondo. Much love for a sharp precursor of the whole Die Hard genre.

Going My WayMy sum total knowledge of this movie is that it stars Bing Crosby, it's heart-warming and wholesome, and the guys at Mad Magazine used to base a lot of jokes on it.
The Shootist
Saw this in the theater (yes, I am that old). John Wayne's last gig, I believe, and one of Ron Howard's last before going behind the camera for good. Wayne had already been "killed" in The Cowboys, but here we got to watch him die. I thought it pretty tough-minded at one time; I'd be interested to see it again.
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
Hot '70s action. A long-time fave owing to my adolescent man-crush on Robert Shaw.
Play Misty for Me
Very '70s, this assortment. Anyway, again, haven't seen it in years. Really all I remember is the montage scored to "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."
