A tough choice. I also really like "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park"
Having studied a lot of math, I'm partial to "Lobachesky".
---and that went right over my mathematically illiterate head.
I did enjoy the clip below, and still do.

Saw that this morning. Bloke was a terrific actor.
For a long time, my favourite character of his was John Humerdink Stover in "The Happy Years" (1950) Was also very fond of "The Boy With Green Hair" (1948)
"The Happy Years is a 1950 film based on the 1910 novel The Varmint by Owen Johnson. It concerns the adventures of Dink Stover, a boy attending the in New Jersey. "

Vale Dean Stockwell.

Bart the Bear 2 - bear actor who acted in some popular movies and received acclaim for his performance in GOT. He also hung out with celebrities like Kevin James and Matt Damon, and Jennifer Aniston narrated his life.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
