All great films and deserving of placement on such a list. But there's one film that sticks out in our mind today. Written by Graham Greene and directed by Carol Reed, The Third Man explores the tenuous environment in post-war Vienna, which was split into zones managed by the French, Russians British and Americans. In addition to an exciting mystery and noirish love story, the film is also an exploration of the nature of morality and allegiance in a vacuum. This is best typified by Orson Welles' famous soliloquy which includes this passage:
"In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed — they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Featuring GPS, a sixteen-speed ZF gearbox, 480hp, xenon headlights, a terlet, a shower and the all-important Very Loud Horns, the Unicat EX70-HD is "in charge" writ large. This is a manly vehicle, not to be purchased by showboating poseurs, but rather those who aspire to Bondlike studliness. We're pretty certain the collected works of Ennio Morricone and Lalo Schifrin come pre-loaded in the stereo, but you might call Unicat to check. You'll need them.
