Of Course I'm Lying: A Tribute to Femme Fatales

"If I'd know where it would end, I'd have never let anything start, if I'd been in my right mind that is. But once I'd seen her... once I'd seen her.... I was not in my right mind for quite some time."

A tribute to the beautiful, alluring and dangerous women who drive men to extreme lengths and even insanity.
Although associated more with film noir, femme fatale is a general term and I've applied it here to a few non-noir films. Not all these characters are evil, and a couple actually turn out to be good guys, but they do lie or else lead the hero into dangerous situations. But no matter how wicked they are, they're all wonderful characters that define some wonderful films.
This video showcases both their seductive and deadly side; really it's just a compilation of attractive people kissing and then shooting each other. :L

This tribute is highly flawed. The song is... difficult to work with, but as soon as I heard it I knew it fitted the type of tribute I've always wanted to do, and the album notes describe the narrator as someone out of a Raymond Chandler book hunting down an adulterous wife-- in essence, a film noir story, and that's how this tribute originated. I'm not happy with the way I've edited (because I'm not used to voiceovers and transitions and I used them terribly) but I need to clear my harddrive so this is final draft. I hope you like it though, if only for the films and actors included. Enjoy and please comment, critique, and maybe like :)
