Vertigo
I don’t know why, but the title has always intrigued me, and it’s one of my favorite movies
… and I’m glad someone said The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford — Excellent title, excellent movie.
Goodbye Lenin! — I thought it was a musical because there was an exclamation point in the title, so I love that it was used in a movie that was NOT a musical. That’s one of my favorites too
Is there a pattern between one’s favorite titles and ones favorite movies?? Because there is with mine…
