Body: A number of our blogging friends have picked up the Alphabetical Favorites meme. The idea is that you list 26 favorite movies, one for each letter of the alphabet. Some people are adding comments, but I think it’s more interesting to just toss the titles out there, to see how they fit together within a single list and how they match up to other lists. Also, it’s been a hell of a week and I’m exhausted. I will say this: after not being able to think of a single movie beginning with the letter “J” that I enjoy more than Joe Versus the Volcano, I noticed that several commenters at the House Next Door had slotted the same film in the same face. So much for Todd McCarthy’s contention in his Doubt review that John Patrick Shanley’s first directorial effort was “misguided.” So! My list is after the jump.

Body: There are plenty of comedies set at the workplace. The obvious mentions allready made for Office Space and Clerks. Merc mentioned Waiting... which I really didn't care for too much. I thought Employee Of The Month was much more watchable. I think a mention for Grandma's Boy is also warranted this week, (cheap laughs don't get any cheaper) There are a couple of decent dramas that center around the workplace as well. North Country and When A Woman Ascends The Stairs are primarily about women's struggles. John Turturo's first film, Mac is a good drama about three brothers that own a contruction company.

Body: This week we’re taking movies with fans, colleagues, and friends. An e-mail from a listener gets us thinking critically about our love for post-apocalyptic movies, and watching the amazing 1962 French short, La Jetée (pictured above). Kevin talks with David Chen and Devindra Hardawar from /Filmcast about podcasting, Roman Polanski, and really good cartoons. Later we check in with Karina Longworth, where she tells us about overlooked Japanese classic When A Woman Ascends the Stairs and a whimsical WWI quasi-musical, La France. 0:00 - Intro, post-apocalyptic movies, La Jetée 8:00 - /Filmcast’s David Chen and Devindra Hardawar 19:50 - Karina’s Media Diet (Subscribe to FilmCouch–Spout’s weekly movie podcast–in the iTunes store or to our RSS feed and an episode will download each Friday) filmcouch-78 Originally posted on:SpoutBlog
