Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule Test

Black Narcissus

2) Second favorite John Frankenheimer movie
The Train

3) William Bendix or Scott Brady?
No Opinion

4) What movie, real or imagined, would you stand in line six hours to see? Have you ever done so in real life?
I think I would stand in line for any film festival involving Buster Keaton, The Marx Brothers, Yasujiro Ozu, or anything that sounds like fun. I stayed overnight at a theatre at the premier of Episode one The Phantom Menace. Nothing like camping out in a big city.

5) Favorite Mitchell Leisen movie
According to IMDB the only movie of his I've seen is "Easy Living" which is a film I love. Now I want to see more of his films.

6) Ann Savage or Peggy Cummins?
Peggy Cummins

7) First movie you remember seeing as a child
An American Tail. Whatever happened to Don Bluth?

8) What moment in a movie that is not a horror movie made you want to bolt from the theater screaming?
As a child and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as soon as he enters the temple. I was 8 and didn't know what to expect, the only time I left a movie early in fear.

9) Richard Widmark or Robert Mitchum?
Mitchum

10) Best movie Jesus
Willem Defoe.

11) Silliest straight horror film that you’re still fond of
The Return of Doctor X

12) Emily Blunt or Sally Gray?
Emily Blunt

13) Favorite cinematic Biblical spectacular
Probably still the parting of the red sea in The Ten Commandments, that film had a huge impact on me as a child.

14) Favorite cinematic moment of unintentional humor
Perhaps again in "The Ten Commandments", the self-important narration by Cecil B. DeMille or when Yul Breynner says out "His God, is God".

15) Michael Fassbender or David Farrar?
Michael Fassbender

16) Most effective faith-affirming movie
"The Decalogue"

17) Movie that makes the best case for agnosticism
"A Serious Man"

18) Favorite song and/or dance sequence from a musical
"Never Gonna Dance" from "Swing Time"

19) Third favorite Howard Hawks movie
"Only Angels Have Wings" I think. First two are "Rio Bravo", and "Ball of Fire"
