Don’t really have time to inspect properly, but on initial glances I only recognise two, maybe:
2 – Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
7 – Donnie Darko
Given my almost pathological aversion to Jake Busey, though, I didn’t linger. But given your previously revealed taste in films, FM, perhaps I ought to’ve.
mysfit and anne: number 6. is, as Fence has already mentioned, “In America”.
Segue: apparently “Broken Flowers” is some kind of mainstream breakthrough for Jarmusch. Anyone seen it? I missed the recent World Cinema Festival because two really inconsiderate friends decided to get married in the Drakensberg and expected my presence for a week-plus-long period that neatly encompassed the entire festival.
“Broken Flowers” is mercifully opening at the Labia on Thursday, though.
It’s always a very fine line between too easy and too obscure. I seem to have erred on the side of too easy.
Well, either that or you’re all just really smart.
Nah, must just be too easy ;~)
And Jonathan, you did not disappoint. Kudos for The First $20 and Dead Man, your aversion to Jake Busey is completely understood and the film in question is not worth breaking such a valid oath over.
The Labia, you say? On Thursday? (furious pencil scribbling in diary)

Okay, I’m back.
3 – Monthy Python and the Holy Grail
5 – Fargo?
6 – In America
there certainly are more of these that i should know – but until i recall:
3)The Professional
8)High Fidelity
wait wait – is #6 from Devil’s Advocate?
2-Eternal Sunshine
4-Leon (whatever the title… oh yes, thanks Mysfit)
5-Fargo?
6-The Interpreter?
And I’m hanging my head in shame about the Robert Mitchum picture.
4 & 5 are two of my favorites. Well, that is if they are The Professional and Fargo. Otherwise, who knows. I suck at this, yet you taunt me, boy.
A chance TV encounter has equipped me to provide:
1. The First $20 Million Is Always The Hardest

(if I kept a diary)
And, I notice that no.10 remains unanswered? =)
Still don’t know #10, this is just to inform a Mr. F Machine that he has been memed
ffMerry Christmas Machine and Luke!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, FM!
(Um, no more updates?)
Any chance we might have the title for the Kubrick-does-Alice-in-Wonderland evoking tenth film, FM?
Drop me a line at forgottenmachine@yahoo.com and I shall reveal all.
Good to hear from you!
