Susie said; "Only twenty essential films."
Finn said; "Nothing else worth seeing?"
Susie deadpanned; "Guess not. Must be the perfect number."
Finn said; "No list is complete without something of Welles; 'Chimes at Midnight,' 'Citizen Kane,' or 'The Magnificent Ambersons.'
Susie said; “We’re in Europe, silly.”
Finn said; “’Nashville,’ ‘The Natural’ ‘The Birth of a Nation’ -1915, ‘Edie: Ciao Manhattan,’ Buffalo 66,’ “The Postman Always Rings Twice,’ ‘Double Indemnity,’ ‘The Big Sleep,’ ‘The Maltese Falcon,’ ‘Gun Crazy,’ ‘The Shanghai Gesture,’ ‘The Killers’
‘Strangers on a Train,’ ‘The Phantom of the Opera,’ ‘Detour,’ ................... ”
When Finn came up for air, at the pause, Susie added; “’The Way We Were’ and ‘Gilda.’”
