You can't watch Jaws too many times. It's classic.

I watched the 1960 original, and wonderful "School For Scoundrels" last night.
This brilliant movie starred Ian Carmichael as the put-upon Henry Palfrey, second best when at work (he was the boss, but his chief Clerk basically ran the place), on the tennis court (he had been dropped from his club team) and in love (the object of his affectin had been swept away by his main rival). In desperation, he enrols in the College of Lifemanship, run by Alisair Sim's slippery-smooth Mr Potter. He learns how to become 'one-up' in all areas, instead of settling for being 'one-down'.
So Palfrey sets about winning at all costs, at all times. He belittles his clerk, gains revenge on the car salemen who had previously conned him into buying a heap of junk, and then sets his sights on his rival and his love.
The rest of the cast are excellent. His main rival is the superb Terry-Thomas, who was simply brilliant as The English Cad in everything he ever did. The eye candy and love target is April Smith, played with naiivety and charm by the beautiful Janette Scott. The car salesmen are dennis Proce and Peter Jones, and the rest of the movie is scattered with British Comedy Stalwarts such as John Le Mesurier, Hattie Jacques, and Irene Handl.
Anyone that has had the misfortune to suffer the abysmal 2006 remake with Billy Bob Thornton should seek and enjoy the original. it's more than a suitable antidote.

I still don't think I've ever seen anybody play pure fear quite so well as Marilyn Burns in that film.

I agree. Burns is fantastic. Her performance made an already scary movie absolutely terrifying. 'Tis a shame she never had the career that she deserved, one heckuva actress!

Danger Diabolik. Semi comic book film starring John Philip Law. A criminal mastermind outwits the police, politicians and the mafia. 1967, Italian dubbed into English , produced by Dino De Larentis and directed by a young Mario Bava. Maybe another inspiration for Austin Powers.
