It’s 10 am on a Monday morning, I’m on deadline and apparently nothing at all has happened in the world except for the news that “Paul Blart, Mall Cop” defied expectations to remain atop the box office in its second weekend, and that just makes my nose bleed.

So I’m going to throw to the Onion AV Club’s weekly inventory, which this week is devoted to “fifteen great gearshift movies” — films that start out, either narratively or stylistically, as one thing, and then become something else.

Spoilers abound, obviously, so read with care. And somehow, “From Dusk Till Dawn” didn’t make the list, though there’s plenty of discussion about that in the comments.
