(17,083 posts)film, 1962. The opening sequence, of Lee Remick in a top-down '58 white Fairlane Convertible with a scarf tied around her hair going across the Bay Bridge at night, with a menacing Henry Mancini soundtrack, is the best opening scene of any movie ever.
If you live in San Francisco- Go to the 6th Floor of the San Francisco Public Library. Look for films from the Danger and Despair Knitting Circle. They have a collection of rare and out-of-print San Francisco films. You can take them out and watch them in the 6th Floor viewing rooms, but you can't check them out and take them home.
ALSO- Heart and Souls- a 1993 movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Charles Grodin - a movie you will find heartful, humorous, and affecting long after you've watched it.
