I have Alphaville on my List; looking forward to that one. BIG fan of Three Days of the Condor and I'll be looking into the others, some sound familar.
THANKS Siddon!

Haven’t seen two of these but I would put Day of The Jackal number two behind Red Circle.

Seen Condor, Man who knew too much, 39 Steps, and Brick.
Of those,I would rate only 39 Steps higher, though Brick and Condor both come close.
Also, an aside, Was World on a Wire ever released in theatres? Just curious.

I might pick this one for the next hall...it's a very different political thriller but it was very good.

That looks really good!


Also, just realized that The Finger Man is Le Doulos. Saw that recently and loved it. One of several Melville's that I've become enamored with. Le Deuxième Souffle is another recently seen and loved.

And I do believe I'll be adding Foreign Correspondent to my Watchlist.

Maybe it's a hint and he's doing his best Fellini impersonation.

Or maybe he's just drunk somewhere...

EDIT: Several of them. I checked the main thread.
