This rather pointless exercise has been done loads on other blogs (search for Cinematic Alphabet), usually with dreadful, seemingly random films (Almost Famous, Bull Durham, Chasing Amy etc). I like to think that my list is the best. I’ve cheated just slightly by having foreign films listed by their English or original foreign title, depending on which fitted in best.

Atalante, L’
Blue Velvet
Chinatown
Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise, The
Eraserhead
Fear Eats the Soul
Gummo
His Girl Friday
If...
Jules et Jim
Killing of a Chinese Bookie, The
Long Goodbye, The
Mean Streets
Night of the Hunter
One-Eyed Jacks
Performance
Quatre Cents Coups, Les
Repulsion
Stalker
Touch of Evil
Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The
Vertigo
Woman of the Dunes
X – The Man with the X-Ray Eyes*
Yeux Sans Visage, Les
Zelig

*Yes, this film does start with an X. There was no way I was going to have an X-Men or X-Files film in there.
