The Impossible?

Place beyond the Pines?

You got it.

Yeah I've certainly heard of Barbara Stanwyck but couldn't have picked her out of a lineup.  This movie has been on my list to see for a while.

Double Indemnity?

Yeah, I was amazed to learn that Groucho's trademark moustache and eyebrow were just grease paint.  I actually liked the music numbers in the one that I saw.  Seemed to me that they were actually skilled musicians and not just playing for laughs.

I won't have a chance to add a new entry for the next 4 days so if anyone else wants the privilige, it's up for grabs.

I had to work for that one.  I've only seen one Marx Brothers movie and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.  Guess I should check out some more.

Monkey Business?

Okay well let's try a Screwball Comedy with Anthony Quinn in a bit part.  "The Milky Way"?

No. You're entirely on the wrong track.

Yeah no surpise there; I was just taking a shot.  I thought I recognized Anthony Quinn as one of the guys in the first screenshot and Googled for Film Noirs that he'd been in. 

The Naked Street?

The Wolf of Wall Street?

Is that "Chronos"?

This is "Blue Velvet", by David Lynch.

I like your certainty.  Take it away.

Nope.

New entry:

I became a comic nut when "Prisoners of Gravity" (a low budget Canadian TV show featuring interviews of science fiction authors ) dedicated an entire episode to the importance of "Watchmen".  I purchased the trade paperback shortly afterwards.  This was also around the time that we first got internet access and I was amazed at the analyses of the book available online.  I don't remember what turned me on to Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" but it finished the job of converting me by providing a myriad of recommendations for comics outside of the mainstream.

Donnie Brasco.

Upstream color?

You got it.

Probably an easy one:
