1) Trouble in Paradise
2) In a Lonely Place

Love that you asked "favorite" and not "best". "Best" brings on way too many arguments. Can't really tell someone what their "fave" is.

1. GWTW Out of favor and probably way politically incorrect, but superb storytelling of unsympathetic character in extreme circumstances. One of the great adaptations. Know it by heart, but if it is on, I can't stop watching it.

2. Cabaret
3. Chinatown
4. Network
5. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
6 Nashville
7. Female Trouble
8. Tootsie
9. Brokeback Mountain
10. His Girl Friday (or any three or four Cary Grant comedies between 1938 - 1943. Except "The Philadelphia Story". Blech....)


Could go on and on. The Godfather. Shadow of a Doubt. The Conversation. The Usual Suspects. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Life of Brian. Annie Hall. Manhattan. Shadow of the Vampire. Amarcord. Das Boot. Dr Strangelove. The Omen. Places in the Heart. The Right Stuff. Some Like It Hot. The Apartment.

And for their own WTF value: Valley of the Dolls. Johnny Guitar. Cobra Woman. Showgirls. The Oscar. Who's Afraid of Baby Jane.

"I slept with you and you're in love with my husband. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?"

Some great ones in no order:

Wizard of Oz
Punch-Drunk Love
Persona
The Young in Heart
Days of Heaven
No Country For Old Men
Vertigo
The New World
Godfather 1 &2
The Mirror
Wild Strawberries
The Sacrifice
Gosford Park
Tree of Life
2001
Fanny and Alexander



Citing NASA as experts on these matters is like citing the KK on matters of race relations.
