# mmmm
start with some Fritz Lang (M or Metropolis)
move to the Lost Weekend by Wilder, via Citizen Kane detour to I am a fugutive from a chain gang arrive at Manchurian candidate and then finally Blood Simple, Chinatown and Sin City

# I saw M, and half of Metropolis
M was bad as a movie, but sort of interesting as a historical document. It also has Peter Lorre in it a lot, running about and having his anxious, slimy, Peter Lorre face, which compensates. Metropolis ... I keep intending to finish watching because it's supposed to be good, but really, meh. Other suggestions there are all interesting, thanks.

# Actually I find I perk up a bit when something is in black and white or technicolor.
New films make me anxious that they will contain macho bullshit, romantic comedy, explosions at regular intervals, cheesy cliches or other crappiness.
