I think Mastroianni's little stride as he tries to get away from the producers in the hotel lobby in 8 1/2 is the shiat. Plus, Benicio del Toro's dance as he tries to run away from the cops in the Usual Suspects. Pretty funny, I like to imitate it, though I feel a little effeminate. Also, who could beat Barry Egan's grocery store shuffle (I'm sure it's not really a shuffle, just trying to alliterate).

I'm the number one fan of the girl who dances on the roof car in Blue Velvet.

While we're on the subject of Benicio Del Toro

The Way of the Gun:  I think it's in the kidnapping at the beginning, he fires off a few rounds with his shotgun and then does this totally badass walk-away.  Just see it.

Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like It Hot" when she struts down the train platform. So sexy it makes Jack Lemmon say, "Look at that! Look how she moves! That's just like Jell-O on springs. Must have some sort of built-in motor or something. I tell you, it's a whole different sex!"

Also Ratso Rizzo's 'rocks-in-the-shoe' walk in "Midnight Cowboy". Couldn't think of that character without that limp.

That has gotta be my favorite too. I read in this GREAT book called Cult Movie Stars that she would practice it for HOURS in private. I couldn't even tell, it looks very natural.

i like the way paul bettany walks in gangster number one.


and the way claudia cardinale comes out of the forest in 8 1/2
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

I have seen Once Upon a Time in the West but for the life of me, I cannot remember this Claudia girl you've been talking about, I don't know why I can't picture her face at least. I saw it a long time ago but a girl this beautiful seems like she would have been pretty etched in my mind...it's weird. I keep trying to think. I'm dying to see the movie again.

See 8 1/2, or The Pink Panther, or Big Deal On Madonna Street.

She's in those.

Oh yeah, can't forget Corky St. Clair trying to 'groove' in Waiting for Guffman. And Ron Livingston handing off the disk in Office Space, pretty fucking cool.

I always liked the way Steve Buscemi limps out of the cabin before he's killed in Fargo.
