ViDEO Below are the 10 movies I couldn’t possibly do without. It’s a lopsided list to be sure, one that favors narcotic trance films (always a great place to take a camera) over realism and renown, but if you see a couple here that you already like, give the others a shot—not one will disappoint: Contempt (Le mepris ); The Battle Brigitte Bardot exempliďŹ es ‘Contempt’ in Gould’s of Algiers; Thieves’ Highway; Fata desert-island favorite. Morgana; Eraserhead; Outcast of the Islands; Mishima; The Scoundrel (1935); Bigger Than Life; The Mummy (1932). All are available on DVD. (Honorable mention goes to early radio drama, sire of Hollywood’s Golden Age—with many entire series now available by podcast.)—Richard Gould
