Top Five Scenes Out of My DVD Collection That I Play Over And Over

1. The scene in Vertigo with Kim Novak in the flower shop. It is so beautiful.

2. The opening credits to Francis Coppola's One From The Heart, featuring credits on miniature replicas of famous Vegas resort signs. This sequence leave me speechless every time.

3. The part of Fellini Roma about how Romans like to eat. Even better than the Ecclesiastical Fashion Show segment.

4. Antonioni's Red Desert - about an hour in, the part by the dock, when the fog rolls in. Straight from your dreams.

5. All stuff set in Monte Carlo at the beginning of Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca, the Best Picture of 1940. It is straight from cinema heaven.

Honorable mention: the first 20 minutes or so of Russ Myers' Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Must be seen to be believed.

Top 5 reasons why S.F. lost the Superbowl:

1) Worst officiating EVER, many missed hold calls, pass interference, no flags for pushing a ref I guess.
2) Didn't use the run game at the end, shouldn't have passed it all those times for five yards
3) Defense didn't show up, missed tackles..etc.
4) Delay of game made them burn a time out, 9ers need to quit it with that.
5) Can't have ints or fumbles in a Superbowl
