Yes, this was not something I saw coming in the least...

If you're interested in finding out more about the character, my advice would be to read all of the Ripley novels....

I have seen all three film adaptations, but have read none of the books. I actually liked Ripley's Game when I saw it a few years ago, however, maybe if I read the novels beforehand that wouldn't be the case?

Im surprised Hanake isn't in the collection to be honest, the final moments of The Seventh Continent is horrifying.


Oooooh page 5000 do I win anything? £5k to spend on Criterions?:-)

Roger Ebert on The Vanishing:

The movie advances in a tantalizing fashion, supplying information obliquely, suggesting as much as it tells, and everything leads up to a climax that is as horrifying as it is probably inevitable.

Who knows? Maybe Haneke's Code Unknown or The Piano Teacher will receive the Criterion blu-ray treatment.

Or a boxset! haha

I'd be happy with anything though, his films are incredible, and so emotional.

kind of a fun article for movie lovers... anyone frequent any of these theaters? slightly disappointed that the Music Box Theater in Chicago and the Virginia Theater in Champaign, IL did not get a mention.

I've been to the Plaza once to see A Clockwork Orange. It's a nice theater, but I'm surprised it made the list. The Virginia Theater definitely deserved a placement. That's the greatest theater I've ever been to.

There are two other Ripley film worth checking out:

(1) René Clément's Purple Noon, with Alain Delon as Ripley. Available on Blu-ray from...wait for it...Criterion.

(2) Wim Wender's The American Friend, with Dennis Hopper(!) as Ripley. Not available on Blu-ray that I know of, but came out on DVD from Anchor Bay about 10 years back.

I just want to be on page 5000! (for now)

RE: Caché - It's probably the closest thing to the horrors and magic that Hitchcock could pull off in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. PHENOMENAL film.

I'd recommend importing the Region Free UK Blu-ray for those curious.

Plaza Theatre here in Atlanta is the only one that I've been to. Watching Dr. No and From Russia with Love on back-to-back nights there last summer was an experience that I'll treasure forever.

I've seen several other movies at Plaza, but I do not make it down there as often as I should.

Now, I'm not normally a fan of going to movies for a first date, but the first row of seats at Electric Cinema in London on the above link...yeah, that would be a fun movie date experience. (Yes, this sentence is tongue-in-cheek. Sort of.)

I was going through the slideshow of movie theaters and there was an ad for the new Camry. Must have had different ads for everyone.
