    The problem with movies today is that too few feature werewolves fighting zombies.

    Despite the "ass like a 10 year old boy" line, Funkin' was not credited as assistant writer.

    Some more recents:

    Vatel (2000) - story of a chef in the France of Louis XIV

    Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) - takes place in 17th century Paris

    The Earrings of Madame de... (1953) - beautiful black and white photoplay set in late 19th century Paris

    The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) - seems a bit out of place here with the others, but still, features a stellar cast that ultimately carries it through

    Ridicule (1996) - set in France at the time of Louis XVI. Some historical inaccuracies, but still worth watching

    Carlito's Way (1993) - great Pacino picture

    Dressed to Kill (1980) - well-built thriller worth a gander

    Platoon (1986) - portrayal of May Lai with a group of young stars-to-be

    Manhunter (1986) - very good early Hannibal flick

    Mean Streets (1973) - great Scorsese picture

    Point Blank (1967) - great flick about an assassin

    Straw Dogs (1971) - nice early Dustin Hoffman picture

    Tampopo (1985) - great about Japanese noodles

    The Emerald Forest (1985) - great about the Amazon rainforest

    Klute (1971) - about a call girl in NYC

    Sisters (1973) - crazy but totally worth it

    One thing that both the original Blade Runner and its sequel got absolutely right is the scenography. They show a future that's somber and destitute, yet also alluring at the same time.

    Apparently there'll be a threequel in the form of a TV series?

    I was very pleasantly surprised with Sleepy Hollow (1999).
