Everyone should post their ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).

Dog Day Afternoon (1975), dir. Sidney Lumet

These are the three on your list I haven't seen! I don't even know the last one.

I suspect you would enjoy most of Ken Russell's early films. (It was hard for me to leave The Devils off the list.)

Von Trotta is a very interesting director. Marianne and Juliane is about two sisters, one a feminist, the other a member of a terrorist group loosely based on the Baader-Meinhof Gang. I first saw it on British TV in 1990, and it made a huge impression on me.

I think you're the first to mention Dr Strangelove on my list--surprising! Though I would have seen it somewhere.

That is surprising!

You do love your classic horror! :)

I easily could have done a list of only classic horror!
