Date movies after testicular surgery

After you watch all of the Viceroy's offerings, here are some additional ideas. Setting a tough standard here - movies that a drugged Laird might enjoy that his lovely wife might also find interesting.

The Cameraman - Buster Keaton's first work after selling his soul to MGM, and the only project there where he had creative control. This scene is representative, but I think the Chinatown gang war will also be of significant...er...artistic interest.

Barry Lyndon - Really, isn't this the perfect time to see it again? (Ms. F...put it on endless loop and see if he notices...!)

You Only Live Twice - What's not to like about Blofeld, and surely the Donald Pleasance version is the definitive one. You miss the whole "und counting" bit from Diamonds Are Forever but you can get that here, so it's all good.

Yojimbo?

Woodstock
- An early Scorcese achievement. Now you can see it the way you were meant to see it: stoned out of your mind.

My Name is Fame - Basically a good midrange Hong Kong chic flick. But you'll be on drugs, so what do you care?

Let me acknowledge that my list is to the Viceroy's as Inchon is to The Ten Commandments...
