Sorkin's politics aside - he writes GREAT dialogue and great characters.
Yojimbo - Kurosawa in general - should be required. And I love "Double Indemnity" and "DOA" for noir. Or "Lost Weekend". A few years ago during the noir year we showed "Double Indemnity" in Rex and someone was whining because it wasn't SF/F. I jumped all over him that good film is good film. And you gain a whole new appreciation for films like "Blade Runner" when you understand noir.
