I was totally hoping this was gonna show up on your list since I really can't muster up much enthusiasm for it myself (though I think I'd like it a lot if I saw it again).

But somehow it makes me glad to know that you like it. If that makes any sense at all.

Yeah, I love everything about this film for reasons I'm not entirely sure of myself. Obviously part of it has to do with the pairing of Joan Fontaine, one of my biggest cinematic crushes, and Robert Ryan, quite possibly my favorite actor period, but I also think Ray's contribution is too often overlooked. The film is so full of tension and energy that I was giddy as a school girl both times I've watched it. I think Jaime put it best when he said the film is like sipping really good whiskey for 90 minutes. I'm drunk on its charm.

And yes, I know what you mean by the second part. For some people, I'm glad when they love certain films that I'm not overly excited by. In most cases, they're films I think I'd like more if I revisited them or others that I wish I could love more, but can't for one reason or another.
