"State and Main" is the only Mamet movie I'd sit through again without a gun held to my head. And yeah, yeah, they missed a few of my favorites, too--"Adaptation", "Sherman's March", "The Bad and the Beautiful"--but these guys weren't doing some exhaustive IMDb inventory of every movie on the subject. Maybe they just wrote about flicks they had something fresh to say about; in any case, they did a terrific job with the ones they did pick.

Seriously: 8 1/2

Also: Shadow of the Vampire. Unforgettable final shot.

The REALLY important thing about lists like this is to reinforce the familiar and one must certainly never search for less celebrated examples that the reader may find strange and threatening.

WHAT ABOUT ___________?!??!?
