The other night, I was watching Oliver Stone's 1986 Oscar-winning movie 'Platoon'.  And I am quite convinced that Vietnam was a much more ghastly mess for the US military that either Iraq or Afghanistan could ever be.  And then, a couple of days later, I got the opportunity to see Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psyco' (1960).  And I thought, can there be any b/w movie this good?  I mean, every frame is a piece of art.  A poetry in motion.
