This is the first time that I will not be able to participate. I've got Black Narcissus and that's about it.

[Kurosawa Fan]

1. The Lady from Shanghai
2. The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer
3.
4.
5. Gentleman's Agreement

This is okay, no? I think it's a good film, but I wouldn't be comfortable giving it more than 2.5 points. If not, I'll just abstain this round.

If I found Lady From Shanghai to be more than just a decent movie, I'd submit a three movie list. As such, I don't and thus I would only be able to send in two flicks. I'll be using this thread for recommendations of course.

Born to Kill starts Lawrence Tierney, who we know from Resevoir Dogs and as Elaine's dad in Seinfeld (and there's a tale there). A must see for noir fans, but others may also enjoy.
