Grosse Pointe Blank (1997, R)
John Cusack wins again. Not only laugh out loud hilarious in parts, but the whole premise of this is too funny for words. A hit-man is sent to his hometown for a job on the same week as his 10-year class reunion. How does an assassin answer the question "So! What have you been doing with yourself?" |

Rear Window (1954, PG)
What would you do if you anonomously witnessed a murder, or at least think you did? Closest to perfect of any film I've seen. |

Johnny Eager (1942, Unrated)
With this film about a gangster in love with a girl out of his league, Robert Taylor showed the world that he was more than just a (VERY) pretty face. He showed his soft romantic side that all the ladies loved, but also pulled a badass out of his hat that satisfied the male audience. Lana Turner did a fine job as his love interest (she'd really show her stuff a few years later in The Postman Always Rings Twice), and Van Heflin won an Oscar as Eager's alcoholic sidekick. A good example of 40's film noir. |

Casablanca (1943, Unrated)
One of the best films ever. The story of a cynical man who follows a higher cause than himself and loses the woman he loves in the process. |

Excalibur (1981, R)
Overacted at times, and the story jumps around, but it's a lush beautifuly done story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Great battle sequences. |

Great list! Casablanca is very thinly disguised. :)
