Played in Sacramento for 3 plus weeks back in September. Happy to see it made the cut.

Nice to hear Paul Thomas Anderson is also a fan of Steve McQueen's TOM HORN (1980).

Before prequels, sequels and remakes populated the landscape, we used to line up for these. Happy Belated Birthday, Francois.

One wonders if maybe Shosanna was on to something here 😉

Happening to Mitchell Leisen's REMEMBER THE NIGHT. Don't see why it can't happen to MIDNIGHT.

It was after the one-two punch of TAXI DRIVER, and later that year, Martin Ritt's THE FRONT, that your husband's name became one I continually kept an eye out for. One of the best.

To think there was a time when marquees advertised motion pictures using the same font used in the films themselves.

Listen, you don't wanna say "no" to this guy. Grab your copy of SMILE (1975) pronto.

45 years ago, these two gifted us ALL THAT JAZZ (1979). Many thanks.

Holiday reminder...Richard Williams' excellent animated adaptation of Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1971) can be found (and enjoyed) on YouTube.

We never really fall out of love for the films we love as teenagers. James Goldstone's SWASHBUCKLER (1976) was one of mine. Can't wait for the Blu-ray.

INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY making its network premiere just a year after its theatrical run doesn't feel right. Kudos to ABC for broadcasting in its proper aspect ratio.
