bill....Jack wearing that helmet("Oh, I gotta helmet alright") is a great quirky moment in film history, Great choice.
willow...I love The Third Man. Especially when we see Orson Welles first moment on screen as the light shines down on him, and his hand thru the sewer grate.
edward...great choice of Lancaster. I love that movie...and I really miss Burt.
pamela...The Uninvited!?!
I thought I was the only one that's seen that. It IS a scary film. Sometimes the unseen is more frightening, isn't it?
I've been trying to find the rare novel version too, but it's WAY above my...um..paygrade.
