"The Naked City" (1948) - Rossellini meets Weegee in Jules Dassin's landmark of location shooting. Entertaining enough, but best viewed as the pulpy forerunner of a Dick Wolf police procedural, right down to Barry Fitzgerald's seen-it-all lead detective and the day players bringing the world to life

Microsoft’s little emblem in its desktop search bar today is supposed to be birthday boy Alexander Graham Bell and a telephone but all I see is a cannon pointing at his head Looney Tunes-style

“Stalag 17” (1953) - Proto-“Hogan’s Heroes” comedy/drama directed by Billy Wilder and set in a POW camp during Christmas 1944. Twisty thrills abound, William Holden cigar-chomps his way to an Oscar win, and any movie is made better with Sig Ruman in a supporting role. Add it to your holiday rotation

“White Christmas” (1954): The charms of the four leads are undeniable, the Technicolor pops, and you can’t go wrong with Michael Curtiz directing, but what always sticks with me is Dean Jagger’s tough, tender work as the major general. His arrival in the final scene is just beautiful stuff

“The holidays sure bring out the worst in people, don’t they? I’m not saying folks are finding strange new ways to celebrate Christmas, but I just saw Robert Kennedy Jr. dump a dead reindeer carcass in Central Park.”

No idea why I got a bunch of new followers tonight BUT here’s a photo of Bob Hope in a football uniform from a 1982 Thanksgiving special that for some reason also doubled as a Pink Panther tribute special

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) - Have you watched this recently? Have you watched this in the context of the (fun but occasionally sloppy) Disney shorts released just before it? The leap in artistry is just incredible. Don’t read up on composer Frank Churchill, it will break your heart.

“Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977) - Imagine directing this and it not even cracking the Top 5 of your filmography. Spielberg mixes the sci-fi B-movies of his youth with the paranoia of ‘70s cinema, and ends up with a beautifully humanistic film about connection. We are not alone.
