Baskin in there! What mentioning of Minnelli there is on this list makes me wonder with which Minnelli fans you're speaking, it seems that Two Weeks is always a favorite, and widely seen! A description of this as a "Hidden Gem" might give this film the wrong air about it, Undercurrent is a different beast -which I agree is underseen, as are the greats Dood It (remake as it is), and The Cobweb. <br /><br />So much of your list is around the 70s (which is great), but what about Under Fire, The Blockhouse, The Black Bird, or earlier films like Weddings and Babies, Ride the Pink Horse, or one of my favorites that seems to always be neglected Down to Earth!<br /><br />I know you're such a great defender of Out, but I have to disagree.sunrisehttp://www.candlerblog.com/2009/08/21/once-upon-a-time-in-violence-occupied-cinema-an-analysis-of-inglourious-basterds/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383666616230951888.post-36559005062661407912009-04-13T15:09:00.000-07:002009-04-13T15:09:00.000-07:00Hello there,Thanks for the comment.
