RIFIFI (1955) - Nov. 30, 2007 (Second Viewing)
A classic heist film -- features a twenty minute heist scene which is almost silent (there's no dialogue or score), and which is probably the best twenty minutes in any movie ever. It's riveting and absolutely fascinating to watch. The rest of the film is also quite excellent, featuring some stellar direction by Jules Dassin, and a really phenomenal lead performance from Jean Servais. ****
