Shadow of a Doubt 1943, PG)
My favourite Hitchcock movie. Joseph Cotton is great in this. I had a mad crush on Macdonald Carey in this movie until my roommate pointed out that he was now very old and probably dead. But he was a hottie. Shame about the name. |

Breakfast on Pluto 2005, R)
Another brilliant film by Neil Jordan. |

Citizen Kane 1941, PG)
Technically pioneering, it's so much more than that. It's Orson Welles' masterpiece - the beginning and the end of his Hollywood dreams. If only we'd been able to see more like this. His was an unrealized genius. |
