   Good choices so far, but we need some Blazing Saddles up in this bitch.

   Personally, I’d like to see some Matt Helm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooY_iwUY91M&feature=related

   8 words:

   “Yes it’s true. This man has no dick.”

   …and oh, Escape from New York is an all-time classic. Lee Van Cleef is one of the best bad-ass actors ever.

   Of course, you can’t have a best of American cinema without a good duster. I’d like to nominate, well, Gene Pitney sang it best:

   “When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they’d hide
   When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside
   ’cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
   When it came to shootin’ straight and fast—he was mighty good.

   From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man
   The kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land
   ’cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
   When it came to shootin’ straight and fast—he was mighty good.

   Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall
   The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
   He was the bravest of them all.”

   With the line from the newspaperman at the end of that film epitomizing everything that is America: “When the legend is better than the truth, print the legend.”

   Escape From New York still kicks serious @$$.

   Except when Snake pulls out his walkie-talkie’s antennae.
