2. Rope

I’m watching all the Star Trek episodes. I just added Rope today 'cause I mentioned it in an earlier thread.

Rope’s a great film.

#21 is “Bound.”

[QUOTE=Count Sin Horseshoes]  
The one on my Save list is “Candy”, the 60’s satire on Candide. Unfortunately, although it’s out on DVD, they apparently are waiting for more people to oder it before they buy a copy.  
[/QUOTE]

Bummer. I got it from them about 6 months ago. Used copies of it are going for 60 bucks at their cheapest on Ebay. I think some customers might have sticky fingers.

#1 [Freaks](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022913/)  
#40-44 [The Life of Mammals](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364174/) (vol 1-4)

Amusingly, I added the last one after a thread in Cafe Society where we talked about how goofy the Recommendations can be and noticed that it was recommending The Life of Mammals based off of me enjoying [Red](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111495/).

Bottom - #51: His Girl Friday. I’m going through movie books and adding good stuff to my queue - it needs a resort soon.

At Home: Danger Mouse seasons 5&6, disk 2.

Top? **300**. I am hoping to get it next Tuesday.  
Bottom? **Zodiac**. I just found out that it was released.

At home? I just returned **Cinema Paradiso** and **The Hills Have Eyes 2**. I have a wide range of movie interests. Also, I have **Babylone 5: Season 4: Disc 2**. **JayJay** is a fan and we watch it together.

</div>

Top: 300  
Bottom: Brazil “Love Conquers all” version. I’m in no hurry to see it, but I heard it’s educational if you’re interested in just how bad a movie can be due to purposely bad editing.

Was Pan’s Labyrinth any good? I think I’m going to add it.

**Ace in the Hole**? Hell, you should _buy_ **Ace in the Hole**. Before it becomes “not available” again.

Spot #1: **The Train** , 1964, dir John Frankenheimer, with Burt Lancaster, Jeanne Moreau, and Paul Scofield. I caught the beginning and end of this on TCM the other day, and it’s really been sticking in my mental craw. It’s about Nazis trying to steal the paintings from the _Musee Jeu de Paume_ during the final days of the French Occupation, and the Resistance trying to stop them. It’s more about art and personality than a typical war movie , but there’s some great action scenes as well. Anybody else ever see this?

Spot #83: **Even Dwarfs Started Small** , 1971, dir Werner Herzog. Early Herzog, surreal allegory with a cast entirely made up of “little people.” First time this was done since the 1938 wester “Terror of Tiny Town.”

I’ve got \*\ ***Candy** on my “saved” list, too, along with **Two-Lane Blacktop** , \*\* The African Queen, and the 1974 **Three Musketeers**.
