Is another repeat of Roadhouse

I've never watched Fellini's 8 1/2

I'm sure it was probably novel at the time, but now it just seems quaint and dated.

Double Indemnity, however, will always be amazing. A great story and phenomenal performances never go out of style.

Nobody is cooler than Fred MacMurray

Everyone who knows Fred MacMurray for The Absent-Minded Professor and My Three Sons should be required to watch this movie, just as everyone who only knows Angela Lansbury for playing the voice of Mrs. Potts in Beauty & The Beast and Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote should be required to see The Manchurian Candidate and State of the Union.

But, damn, was she fine in Double Indemnity. You could easily see how My Three Sons Dad could get enmeshed in her crazy scheme.

you get Clark Gable as Nick.... The Chauffeur

That sounds exactly like my kind of movie!

va va voom Anita Ecberg

And he's restless, irritable, and discontented the whole time.

And that's pretty much it.

Go with Random Harvest.

Holy crap are MacMurray and Stanwyck dynamite in that film! One could easily see MacMurray's character falling for Stanwyck's - what a classic noir bombshell/femme fatale. Great movie. Billy Wilder was one hell of a director.

Fellini and maybe Koyaanisqatsi tonight.

You can see it if you have Hulu Plus. Il Sorpasso has received an 8.2 score on imdb, one of the highest I've ever seen. Il Sorpasso from 1961 is one of the first road buddy pictures, accompanied by contemporary music. For Italian movie star Vitorio Gassman it's the role of his life. He is FANTASTIC in this film as a bombastic blowhard who thinks the world is his oyster. A chance encounter with a shy young law student played by French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant when Gassman wants to use his telephone and ends up having the nerve of taking a shower in his apartment sends the two guys on a cross country adventure through Italy. Catherine Spaak plays the blowhard's daughter. This is one of my favorite films, receiving an 8.2 score on imdb and a near perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. I don't see it mentioned very often in America but it's considered director Dino Risi's master work. I last saw it on American TV about 6 months ago on TCM and before that in the late 60s when I lived in San Francicso but I've watched it online many times since then. It doesn't have a happy "Hollywood" ending. Unfortunately, every spoken clip including trailers has been taken down by youtube.
