Wes, have you seen Le Samouraï, Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 masterpiece? If so, The American is very similar to that in its tone and the central character's dedication and outlook on life and his profession.

How can I say no to such a recommendation ? Yep, I love those Melville gangster pics especially Le Samouraï - I'll pick up The American right away... Many thanks Nos !

Don't expect The American to be as good as Le Samouraï as it isn't, but the deliberate pacing is something which some people don't like, but I found it essential in such a character study.

The American is also beautifully shot, arguably due to Anton Corbijn's background in still photography.

The Iron Rose - Jean Rollin. A young couple get lost in a large cemetery over night. And that's it. But you know what, I loved it. I haven't seen much Rollin, but after seeing Lips of Blood I always wondered if he had a film like this in him.

Damned in Venice - 70's Italian Horror, similar to other Italian takes on Rosemary's Baby but with some Fulci-esque scenes to liven things up. Features one scene you won't forget in a hurry!

Started watching Demons on Blu until I remembered I have a meeting with a promoter about an all day Metal festival I'm in the middle of organizing

If the meeting doesn't go well, you could always go all "Tony the Pimp" on his ass!

The American is going for £2.00 in Morrisons at the moment.

Control was great as well, considering the rock biog is notoriously difficult to get right...
