In the Heat of the Night (1967) should get a mention here. Damned fine movie.

First one I thought of. I was about 8 when it came out and I was fascinated with it and how it felt like the exact town I grew up in.

Is that really a prison in Louisiana or was that all make believe?

And why does the devil hang out in Louisiana so much? Except when he makes quick little jaunts into Georgia and Texas?

Angel Heart had a ton of classic scenes but that scene where Mickey Rourke is undressing his girl Friday (Connie) while she is giving him the lowdown on Johnny Favorite is an all time classic.

That girl, played by Elizabeth Whitcraft, she played a lot of memorable parts in big movies but nobody knows her name. May have been the only white girl banging DeNiro back in the day. Was in a few of his movies.



She’s a hairstylist now.

Modern era? O Brother. No question about that.

Silent? That's even easier: Buster Keaton's The General.





Buster's stunts are remarkable, but the special effects were pretty amazing as well:



I remember seeing that for the first time and thinking, 'wow, what a great miniature sequence'.

And Then I Found Out It Wasn't A Miniature
