Yes, "The Third Man" should be on anyone's very short list of great films.
Thanks for reminding me about "Our Man in Havana." It has been quite a while since I've seen that film. I fear, however, that events since viewing that film have changed my perspective on it. I thought it was an amusing dark comedy back then. But, since then, the U.S. has gone back into Iraq, base heavily on evidence given by someone who drew pictures of what he claimed was a biological weapons laboratory, a claim which brought this fella a lot of "sponsorship" and money from the U.S. government. As it turned out, the facility he drew looked remarkably like a vacuum cleaner. I would guess that "Our Man" would not play as funny these days. The same thing happened to "Network;" I wonder if "Fight Club" is next.
