I thought you were kidding with Sharka Blue.

Only through labs. That means I should trawl the local rehab center for crack whores.

I suppose it would look something like this:

I could never compile a mere top 10 list. Too many to pick and I couldn't properly rank them. If I do make a list it'll be alphabetical order. In that case...

Rear Window would be in it for sure. The Best Years of Our Lives. Apocalypse Now. Hmm...

I'd have had "Rancho Notorious" in there somewhere, because Arthur gets to play the hero for a change

Yeah... but he's so much better as the good guy who turns out to be a dirtbag. ;)

That said, in 4 of those he's pretty clean, even if he's a racist in BRIGHT VICTORY.

I've decided that TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME is better than ERASERHEAD.
