The Grapes of Death 1978
Les Crazies
Far more "action" and gunplay than I would have expected from old Johnny Rollin. The image of Brigitte Lahaie carrying a burning branch and walking two giant dogs (a la Barbara Steele in Black Sunday) is pure gothic bliss. The image of a dying ghoul giving his wife's severed head a final smooch while jaunty synth pulses on the soundtrack is pure Eurohorror bliss.

Masculin Féminin 1966
Jean-Pierre Leaud failing to look cool while flipping a cigarette up into his mouth, failing to find the right way to express his feelings, failing to engage in philosophy or poetry beyond laundromat soliloquies and record-your-own-record booths, failing to engage with politics beyond graffiti slogans and condescending interviews conducted with young women, failing to impress the projectionist with his knowledge of aspect ratios, and failing to impress anyone with his whistling.

For a Few Dollars More 1965
The greatest meet cute in movie history is when Colonel Mortimer spots Monco in his spyglass looking back at him with binoculars, then later they shoot each other's hats.
