FORGETTING NOW FROM A TO Z

From Citizen Robot via Vitagraph, American. A sort of game where u list a movie most important to u for each letter of the alphabet, though I streched my version of the rules a bit, each letter corresponds to the first non-the word in the title. The images from each movie side by side really struck me as beautiful. Make yr own list and post a link in the comments if u do. I also wrote some tawdry polemics to justify the presence of such a list on a blog for my "poems" which accompany and debase each scene from my favorite movies here.
BELOW: TAWDRY POLEMICS


A A Boy and His Dog
Let us begin by agreeing
to be faithful to the end.

B Barfly
Poor as we are,
let's have a good time.


C
Cool Hand Luke
Eggs r cheap.
Eat & get strong.
Though it seems otherwise,
we work for nothing material.


D Drugstore Cowboy
So smile @ sentinals, leaveing behind
today's fix for tomorrow's freedom.

E The Empire Strikes Back


Inisde every evil empire's
an innocent participant,
as surely as a big charity
hides a healthy profit.


F Fata Morgana



Purity is barren &
Life's creations are a mess

G The Golem
Let's make monsters of ourselves.
Let the villagers & kings cowar.

H Horsefeathers
The bigger the better my friend.
The bottom's dropped out.

I The Immigrant
And it is better to be stuck with a bill
that we can't pay for $300 than $30.

J Junk Squad
When they come to collect,
We'll fire what we find,

K Kubrick (I'm Cheating, he deserves his own letter)
Knowing that they know
its all been for show.

L Lawrence of Arabia
Blow up the ties that bind!
The world is ours to take!

M Maltese Falcon
But there's always another fat man
who finds a way to make us negotiate.

N Nosferatu The Vampyre
For a moment forget.
U have a tender spot
and you've left it to a stranger.

O Out of The Past
Should we fail, remember:
losing in the end depends on which end's up.

P Pink Flamingos
Like an egg, the big end's
as good to some as the small.

Q (Vision) Quest
Eggs again. That's where it begins
after desire.

R The Road Warrior
After the end,
we learn to live again.

S Stroszek
And again a dance from eggs
trapped in glass.

T They Live

Glasses to see bankers for what they are.
To chew bubblegum and kick ass.

U (20000 Leagues) Under the Sea
Rescued and then trapped
by machines, by fear, by greed.

V (Fearless) Vampire Killers
Naked awaiting their lord,
villagers still are not free.

W When Nature Calls
When nature calls,
do not hesitate.

X Hitchhiker's Guide To The Gala[X]y (Wow a made for TV movie...)
Don't panic
or be an old goat.

Y Young Frankenstein
We've never seen anthing like this,
and perhaps for somebody or something:

Z Zardoz
It is all just for show.
