Out of the Past is one of the all time great noirs. Very, very good movie, it reminded me a little of Chinatown, with the convoluted plot that kept you in rapt attention. 

Eyes Without A Face has got to be one of the creepiest horror films I've ever seen. Great stuff. 

 

these are a couple of classics that I highly recommend.

 

Holmes blew. It was actually painful to sit through. Give me Basil Rathbone any day of the week!

! You're the only one besides myself that I've seen put a D on Holmes. I'm more of a Jeremy Brett guy, though. {nm} edzep Jan 04, 15:34

What was so subpar about SHOLM, in you two guys' opinions? It's by far Ritchie's biggest success, anyways. It was alright holiday Toruk Facto Jan 04, 16:58

"Broken Embraces," "Up in the air," "Sherlock Holmes," all very fine. In SHOLM, my only beef apparent peril without consequences. second gary Jan 04, 15:52

I have big beefs with Broken Embraces. Toruk Facto Jan 04, 17:13

I appreciate that many reviewers who have enjoyed and praised other Almodovar have felt the door was open to dislike "Broken Embraces." second gary Jan 04, 18:56

Well, okay, good and serious answer, but Toruk Facto Jan 04, 21:33
