Not a film but it features a well-known film maker...
John Waters' "What's In My Bag?" | Amoeba Music
That was an especially good episode of "What's In My Bag"? Waters' selections from Amoeba were quite interesting. He's always been a fan of rockabilly, punk and rock and roll in general. His Nico story was funny. I was surpised that Waters didn't seem aware of Rowland Howard until recently, though. It seems that a band like The Birthday Party would have been close to his heart.
For those not familiar, Amoeba's "What's In My Bag?" episodes ae really interesting. They usually feature musicians but sometimes other popular culture figures like Waters. Even if you don't care for certain musicians, their picks from the Amoeba racks and shelves can be surprising in a good way. For example, I'm not a fan of Rick Astley's music, but I enjoyed seeing and hearing about the wide variety of stuff in his Amoeba bag. I wouldn't have thought he would select albums by ACDC and (especially) Bauhaus.

I've only watched 5 or 6 episodes since I found out about the series. I agree that it's interesting to see what the featured person picks and hear them briefly discuss their picks. Definitely some surprises that I wouldn't have guessed.
Classic noir/crime thriller filmed on location in NYC. The story is centered on a group of homicide detectives while they work on solving the murder of a young woman in the city. One of the top-tier films of the genre, this film gave birth to a TV show in the late 50's and early 60's which used the same title and was also shot on location in NYC and centered around a group of detectives in the city.

My chick insisted we watch this cause her friend told her it's great and while it's not the kind of thing I'd pick (a romantic comedy) have to say it's a fun and charming little film
