They're not new releases, but they still rocked my hairy butt. Let's give them their due.

"Day of Wrath" has been on my TiVo since November. Guess I need to break down and watch it. Have you seen "Day of the Outlaw" yet?

No I haven't. It does turn up on TCM now and then though, no?

Great list! I had a similar idea, but didn't know what to call it. Now I do.

I wish I could wipe my memory and experience Singin' in the Rain, The Killing, and Sweet Smell of Success for the first time, again.
