My comrade over at Rupert Pupkin Speaks loves a movie list. He’s the KING of movie lists, hit up his blog, it will blow your mind! It’s been a while since we did one together, so here we go again. The Cinematic Alphabet – 26 movies, one for each letter of the alphabet – personal picks, so if you don’t like mine – do up your own list! That’s how the internet works, yo.

A is for Auntie Mame

B is for The Big Lebowski

C is for Chungking Express

D is for Dead Man

E is for L’eclisse

F is for Female Trouble

G is for the God of Cookery

H is for Hard Day’s Night

I is for It’s a Gift
(List overlap with Rupert Pupkin Speaks! Deal with it. This movie is hi-larious.)

J is for Johnny Guitar

K is for Kiss Me Deadly

L is for Léon, the Professional

M is for Mulholland Drive

N is for Nashville

O is for O Brother Where Art Thou?

P is for Paris is Burning

Q is for Queen Christina
(Q was the second hardest letter, by the way.)

R is for Rome, Open City
(100% chosen for Anna Magnani)

S is for Shaun of the Dead

T is for Tokyo Drifter

U is for Up in Smoke

V is for Valley of the Dolls

W is for Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

X is for Xanadu
And slightly against my will. Hollywood needs to make more movies starting with the letter X.

Y is for Young Frankenstein

Z is for Zatoichi VS. the Blind Swordsman
