I watched Black Orpheus (Orpheu Negre) on Turner Classic Movies... must be the fifth time. I didn't think it could get me interested yet again but it totally kept me watching it! There is also a great doc about it (maybe check Youtube) and a soundtrack LP/CD.
It's a rare movie that gets to three viewings for me, we're in Akira Kurasawa or Jean Cocteau territory, or the 1933 King Kong... try to see this if you haven't.
