Not "that" mood you cheekie buggers!

My friend Johannes is a Junta fan. Now, as his loyal second, I am also a fan...but a simple fact exists...if one mentions Junta, Johannes will point out that the evening prior to playing Junta, one must rent (or not depending on how cool one is)and watch Moon Over Parador. He believes, and I support his belief, that the watching of Moon will help appropriately set the mood for a good game of Junta.

So now I have perused my collection, and I have decided to list what I think would be the best mood setting movies for a selection of my games. Feel from to agree or disagree with me and feel free to add films and games from your own collection.

"Cabiria" - Italians created the Epic before WWI & Hollywood ~ this film inspired D.W.Griffith's masterpiece "Intolerance", as well as the bizarre child-sacrifice scene in "Alexander Nevsky":
