Got a big one today, included in which is IMO the best film noir of all-time, arguably the most influential crime drama of all-time, and one of top ten greatest films period: The Maltese Falcon.

CLASSIC FILM 101: High Sierra (1941) and The Maltese Falcon (1941)

I'm not trying to short-change High Sierra, which is great, no question, but The Maltese Falcon is just on another level, and if you're not familiar with it, I'd strongly urge you to check it out.

Like I said: It came down to song+video. I wouldn't put Land of Confusion in a top ten, probably not even a top twenty list of the best Genesis songs, but it is a great song and the music video is great, too, IMO.

And IMO: Phil never did anything better in his solo career than In the Air Tonight. I Don't Care Anymore comes close, but even that song can't touch In the Air Tonight.

Not until someone can identify that music video I was talking about. I want to know what the hell that was

i still think the first 20 or so minutes are a bit too "heavy" but overall it was an ok and, again i say, amusing film that had a few good laughs in it..
Pretty much my thoughts. Very weak effort but not quite bad.

Watchable with a couple of funny parts, particularly the scenes with Teila Tuli.
