The Last Days of Disco 5/5

A couple Saturdays ago my weekend was made when I found out that Criterion was finally going to issue this previously out of print 1998 Whit Stillman film. Every line of the script is perfect, hilarious, and (insert a less tired laudatory adjective here). The movie isn't really so much about disco as it is about people in between college and marriage. The trailer should win you over, but just in case here's my top ten to help you gage if we have remotely similar taste.

1.Casablanca
3.Star Wars
4.Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
5.It's a Wonderful Life
6.American Psycho
7.The Usual Suspects
8.Annie Hall
9.Lawrence of Arabia
10.Glengarry Glen Ross
