Archival Projects

Here's what we've got, as I'm sure everyone is curious as to each other's projects:
Sam -- Crossfire. "A man is murdered, apparently by one of a group of soldiers just out of the army. But which one? And why?"
Noel -- Public Enemy. "Friends Tom and Matt go from small time to big time crime during prohibition. Tom tires of his mistress Kitty (he pushes a grapefruit into her face) and falls for Gwen who resists his advances except when it look as though he might dump her. When Matt is killed, Tom goes after the murderers."
Dave -- The Wild One. It's Brando on a bike with dialog like "Mildred: What're you rebelling against, Johnny?
Johnny: Whaddya got?"
Keith -- Mystery of the Wax Museum. "n London, sculptor Ivan Igor struggles in vain to prevent his partner Worth from burning his wax museum...and his 'children.' Years later, Igor starts a new museum in New York, but his maimed hands confine him to directing lesser artists. People begin disappearing (including a corpse from the morgue); Igor takes a sinister interest in Charlotte Duncan, fiancée of his assistant Ralph, but arouses the suspicions of Charlotte's roommate, wisecracking reporter Florence." The tagline was "Images of wax that throbbed with human passion! Almost woman....what did they lack?"
Ben -- The Pride of the Yankees."The story of the life and career of the famed baseball player, Lou Gehrig."
Janet -- A Midsummer Night's Dream. "The course of true love never did run smooth." Shakespeare, comedy, fantasy, magic, love.
Aaina -- Breakfast at Tiffany's. "Struggling writer Paul Varjak moves into a New York apartment building and becomes intrigued by his pretty, quirky neighbor Holly Golightly. Holly's lifestyle confuses and fascinates Paul; in public she flits through parties with a sexy, sophisticated air, but when they're alone she changes into a sweetly vulnerable bundle of neuroses."
Meron -- An Affair to Remember. "A couple falls in love and agrees to meet in six months at the Empire State Building - but will it happen?"

Alicia is narrowing her choices and I'll update this space as soon as the final choice come in. It's a good group of films. Now let's hit the ground running!
