Here's a new one for Conviction:

“Stop making me think,” Murphy said. “I’m believing over here.”

Now that I've got your attention... does anyone have any ideas for movies to watch to get into the mood for Spirit of the Century?

Here's my list:
The Rocketeer
The Shadow
The Phantom
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Mummy
The Maltese Falcon
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Ok, I've shown you mine now you show me your's ;)

Here are the rest of the list from my end.

Deceit
Summer Knight
"You should know, Mister Dresden, that my kind, from great to small, are bound to speak the truth." - Mab
"That hasn't slowed your ability to deceive." - Harry

Discipline
Proven Guilty
I pushed out every sensation but for the bathing, and without conscious effort my motions took on the steady rhythm of ritual, something commonplace transformed into an act of art and meditation, like a Japanese tea ceremony.

Empathy
Death Masks
Looking on someone's soul is something you never forget. No matter how badly you might want to. – Harry Dresden

Endurance
Blood Rites
Panting, I looked down at the box of whimpering puppies. A bunch of wet black noses and eyes looked back up at me from under a white dusting of extinguishing chemical.
"Hell's bells," I panted at them. "You guys are lucky Brother Wang wants you back so much. If he hadn't paid half up front, I'd be the one in the box and you'd be carrying me."
A bunch of little tails wagged hopefully.
"Stupid dogs," I growled.

Investigation
Summer Knight
"Too good to be true," I repeated. I drew the .44-caliber revolver from the desk drawer, leveled it at her, and thumbed back the hammer. "Call me crazy, but lately I've been thinking that if something's too good to be true, then it probably isn't.” – Harry Dresden

Lore
Death Masks
A cold chill started at the base of my spine and slithered up over my neck. I stopped and looked around me, reaching for my blasting rod. I extended my magical senses as best I could, tasting the air to see what had given me the shivers.

Might  
Fool Moon
I smiled at him and contemplated his shocked expression to my own satisfaction. Then I drew in a breath, and my renewed will with it, lifted the rod in my right hand, murmured a phrase in a language I didn't know, and blew the tires off his f**king truck.

Performance
Grave Peril
"I still can't believe," Michael said, sotto voce, "that you came to the Vampires' Masquerade Ball dressed as a vampire."
"Not just a vampire," I said, "a cheesy vampire. Do you think they got the point?"

Rapport
Blood Rites
"Is that a puppy in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" – Karrin Murphy

Resources
Grave Peril
Mortimer Lindquist had tried to give his house that gothic feel. Greyish gargoyles stood at the corners of his roof. Black iron gates glowered at the front of his house and statuary lined the walk to his front door. Long grass had overgrown his yard. If his house hadn't been a red-roofed, white-walled stucco transplant from somewhere in southern California, it might have worked.

Scholarship
Proven Guilty
“But we’ve been tinkering with that stupid thing every night for six months. You’re growing a cowlick and buck teeth, by the way. You keep this up and you’ll have to retire to a home for magical geeks and nerds.” - Bob

Stealth
Fool Moon
Into the water went the ingredients: plastic wrap for sight; a bit of plain white cotton, for touch; a little deodorant for smell; a rustle of wind for hearing; a leaf of plain old lettuce, for taste; and finally I threw in a blank piece of paper, for the mind, and some elevator music for the spirit. The ingredients were boring. The potion looked and smelled boring. Perfect.

Survival 
Death Masks
It came charging toward me, several hundred pounds of angry-looking monster, and I did the only thing any reasonable wizard could have done. I turned around and ran like hell.

Weapons
Dead Beat
The next morning my brain was throbbing with far too many thoughts and worries to allow for any productive thinking. I couldn't afford that. Until I knew exactly what was going on and how to stop it, the most important weapon in my arsenal was reason.
I needed to clear my head.

One of my friends bought the game and we are getting ready to have a run at it. So far we are in the character development stage but I'll be glad to let you know how it goes.

Alertness
Storm Front
Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face.

Athletics
Death Masks
“Leaping tall buildings in a single bound. I should probably put on some underwear.” - Susan

Burglary
Blood Rites
"So we get a plan," I said. "Any suggestions?"
"Blow up the building," Kincaid said without looking up. "That works good for vampires. Then soak what's left in gasoline. Set it on fire. Then blow it all up again."
"For future reference, I was sort of hoping for a suggestion that didn't sound like it came from that Bolshevik Muppet with all the dynamite."

Contacts
Grave Peril
"Let me tell you something, Morty. When I come into a place and don't say a thing except, 'Let's talk,' and the first thing I hear is 'I didn't do it,' it makes me think that the person I'm talking to must have done something. You know what I'm saying?" – Harry Dresden

Conviction
Death Masks
Sleep is god. Go worship. - Butters

Craftsmanship
Proven Guilty
“This map,” Bob said, “is pretty cool. I’d have thought you would have shown it off to someone by now.”
“Nah,” I said. “Tiny model of the city down here in my basement laboratory. Sort of projects more of that evil, psychotic, Lex Luthor vibe than I’d like.”

Driving
From Summer Knight
Behold the angry wizard puttputt-putting away. – Harry Dresden


Fists
Blood Rites
"Here, if you get the chance, make like Buffy." – Harry Dresden

Guns
Death Masks
I'd hate for someone to drive by and shoot me with a plain old gun. Embarrassing. – Harry Dresden

Intimidation
Storm Front
Have you ever been approached by a grim-looking man, carrying a naked sword with a blade about ten miles long in his hand, in the middle of the night, beneath the stars on the shores of Lake Michigan? If you have, seek professional help. If you have not, then believe you me, it can scare the bejeezus out of you. – Harry Dresden


Presence 
Death Masks
"Boo-ya, snakeboy," I muttered, letting out a tense breath. "Stick that in your scaly ass and smoke it."
"The action-hero one-liner doesn't count if you mix metaphors," Susan said, panting.
"Looks like no Harry Dresden action figures for me," I answered.
