Top 10 People-On-The-Phone-In-Cinema
Telephones are an economical source of tension in cinema (who’s calling?), and are intrinsically mysterious (who’s calling?). Look at the faces of characters on the telephone and they usually wear a worried expression, for they are confronting the mystery or trying to avert a threat.
Notable exclusions this time, included; Cronenberg’s Scanners, His Girl Friday and The Kid With The Bike.
