Panic in the Streets (1950) -- Elia Kazan film about the hunt for a man with the plague in New Orleans. Jack Palance's first film

Odd Man Out (1948) Carol Reed Irish thriller about a mortally wounded IRA rebel (James Mason) trying to evade the police in winter Belfast

Who Done It (1941) One of Abbot and Costello best films, as script writers pretending to be detectives in a murder mystery. They think if they can solve the murder, it will help sell their script. Tightly written and with their best gags.

The Professional and Zelig are two of my favorites. Everybody likes Annie Hall so much, and I do too, but there are about 15 or 20 other Woody Allen movies that I think are even better. Take the Money and Run is maybe the funniest movie I've ever seen.

Bill, I adore CHARADE as well. In particular, I love the scene when Audrey Hepburn, her friend and little son rush to visit Monsieur Felix, the honest stamp dealer, who knew there must have been some mistake when he was able to trade a jumbo packet of stamps worth 10 francs to the little boy for "only three" stamps. I can watch that scene a dozen times, as Monsieur Felix lovingly describes those rare priceless stamps in words that mirror how I feel about the elite of my own baseball card and coin collection.

I sincerely hope and pray you're able to get away from "the knife", and back on with your life, my friend.

Best wishes and regards, Brian Powell
