Movies watched over the last month

Here they are:
1. Avatar. I think we all know what this one is about.
2. La Femme Nikita. A completely average assassin movie.
3. All The President's Men. The well-known, gripping watergate thriller.
4. Ox-Bow Incident. Follows a group of cowboys seeking vigilante justice against a cattle rustler. Very emotional, and far more impactful than...
5. Fury. A 1936 film with Sylvia Sydney and Spencer Tracey. The couple is engaged to marry, everything's going well...when an incident of mistaken identity puts Tracey at the center of a manhunt. A proto-noir movie.
6. The Vanishing. A dutch 80's film with an interesting premise and a creepy conclusion that follows a dutch couple vacationing in France. Someone else may just be following them.
7. The Third Man. My favorite film noir I've seen so far. Just magnificent, claustrophobic cinematography that match the fast-paced plot well. A mid-movie twist, which is apparently common knowledge, took me completely by surprise.
8. Double Indemnity. Classic film noir. Nothing ever goes as planned!
9. Empire of the Sun. Completely overrated, in my opinion. Has a very Spielberg sheen that gives the whole movie a feeling of fakeness. I suppose Malkovich is interesting, but all the rousing orchestral score and crane shots of "period crowds" just put me off. Too epic for its own good.
10. Dial "M" for Murder. Hitchcock's classic crime thriller. Has an interesting play-like feel (which makes sense considering its source material).
11. Vanishing Point. A highly dated atmospheric piece from the 1970s that follows a car delivery person as they race across the southwestern US. He meets the hippies, the religious revivalists, partakes in 70's drug culture. There are some exciting sequences at the beginning, all filmed with real drivers, of course, but even at a lean hour-twenty the movie feels like a crawl by the end.
12. Night of the Hunter. I really like Robert Mitchum, and would absolutely run screaming for my life if I were to run into his infamous preacher character. Genuinely creepy as he assimilates himself into an unsuspecting country town on a search for stolen money. The movie is brought down by some unbelievably gullible townsfolk, as well as a strangely didactic and unclimactic ending. Best watched for the famous "love-hate" speech and some really interesting sequences, such as the chase in the cellar and his interactions with only the children.
13. Samurai Trilogy 3: Duel at Genriyu Island. The third movie in the Musashi historical trilogy about the real-life samurai swordfighter. The entire movie is a build-up for the final duel, which lasts only five minutes but delivers some incredible shots of Musashi and his counterpart as they fight on the beach.
14. Bullitt. Well, 70's cool doesn't seem to hold up to well. I found this quite dull and slow, with brief spurts of violence and the requisite "how does McQueen STAY so damn cool?"
15. The Big Sleep. Full of nice quotes with a fun mystery that has a great payoff of action and suspense at the end. Humphrey Bogart as Marlowe: "Did I hurt you sugar?" and the woman responds, "You and every other man I've ever met."
