Right now, I am partial to "Untitled." The tiny things that got put back in just make that picture all the better, like extending Kate Hudson's dancing to "The Wind," etc. When I got that DVD from Amazon, god, that was a happy day. I was in the middle of finals, and that just helped me relax, and also led to me deciding to not read the book I was supposed to write a paper on for history, so I just faked my way through a paper on Vietnam, all because I decided to sit there and watch Untitled instead of doing my work.
The other benefit of Untitled is that it has the commentary track.
God, I love that movie. I'd watch it right now, but I'm currently watching the simply wonderful Billy Wilder picture "The Apartment," which all of you should see too, right now. After all, Cameron Crowe, who has released a book of interviews with Wilder, has stated that there are moments in "AF" inspired by "The Apartment." Just a couple real good pictures, Almost Famous and The Apartment.
