Alfred Hitchcock directs Paul Newman and Julie Andrews in a Cold War spy thriller. If that sounds like a really odd match to you, you're right.
9) Bring it On, 2000, directed by Peyton Reed
Oh why not. Oldie but goodie. "It's only cheerleading." "I AM ONLY CHEERLEADING!!!"
10) Wings of Desire, 1987, directed by Wim Wenders
Gorgeous. A poem. A million times better than that shitty Hollywood remake (City of Angels). And the lead actress Solveig Dommartin is absolutely beautiful. What lovely eyes. She died in 2007 of a heart attack, which sucks, because she didn't work nearly enough.
11) Notorious, 1946, directed by Alfred Hitchcock
I was watching the special features on the DVD after the movie and guess who kept being interviewed for a feature about Notorious's influence on the spy genre? Professor Kuntz! Ol' Ned Flanders himself.
12) Cool Hand Luke, 1967, directed by Stuart Rosenberg
He can eat fifty eggs! Great movie. Love the scene with his mother, especially. Very touching.
All right, I'm off to San Diego for the weekend.
