may i ask who is on my party line?

i have pneumonia so for the next five days it will be movies, sleeping, trying to read a book, lack of concentration, throwing the book down, sleeping, watching movies. its a wonderful cycle, oui?

-The Unknown (lon chaney as an armless knife thrower who crushes hard on his female target, who so happens to hate the male touch. everything else is a bonus!)
-Pulp (Michael Caine in the 70's)
-The Odessa File (Jon Voight as a german trying to shut down the SS, pretty good, i like the Ronald Neame.)
-I am a camera (i thought i would like this better then cabaret, funny.)
-Blithe Spirit (i dont remember much of it except they should have named it 'ghost wife')
-Gaslight (really fricken amazing george cukor film, would make a good double feature with 'bunny lake is missing')
-The Power and the Glory (known as one of preston sturgis's financial disasters, pretty good little precursor to 'citizen kane' oddly touching)
-The Good Thief (Nick Nolte shot up in prep for this role, i shit you not; the proof is on screen, interesting remake however)
-Elevator to the Gallows (fates a chump! great ending, great opening shot, pretty great!)
-Crash (f' this movie, all i got from it is that female asians are bad drivers, white men with money are dicks, black guys carry guns, unless they have money, in that case they are spineless, women are bitches, but then sometimes female asians arne not bad drivers, sometimes white men with money arent dicks, black guys dont always carry guns, and black guys with money sometimes find thier spines. Women however remain bitches throughout eternity.)
