Oops, I forgot about these...

It's a fun, nostalgic and likable movie, with lots of quotable lines. I don't know if you'd enjoy it now, only because it feels like you've made up your mind about it. It's not "It's a Wonderful Life", but I do understand why it's become so popular.

"Porkys" wasn't my kind of movie (but it did well with pre-teen & teenage boys). But "A Christmas Story" has replaced "It's a Wonderful Life" as THE Holiday movie everyone loves (there's even a stage show now). I honestly can't believe you haven't seen it. They do marathons of it every December.

Often credited as the first "slasher" film. Four years before "Halloween". Directed by the late, Bob Clark, the same guy who later did "Porkys" and the now enormously popular "A Christmas Story".

Maybe a tiny shred, but only at the beginning during her fierce ride to scatter her father's ashes. After that, her deceptions are far too calculated to feel anything but repelled. Probably her best and most complex performance.

You probably would have loved it like I did. The scene where Amy Irving makes the guy explode predated the exploding head in "Scanners" by a couple years and was THE horror scene frequently discussed among my friends. I have a lot of affection for that flick.

I think I have four copies of this on Blu-Ray. It was public domain so a dozen different labels released it. Then the boutique studios did some restorations and every time another released their "restored version" I bought it. I'm hopeless. It's also a frequent watch for me. Welles hated it.

Are you spying on my Facebook account? At the beginning of the month I did a whole post about the perfection of the "Innervisions" album.

Same. I know I'm risking my 'gay card', but I've never liked "Auntie Mame". I like her in "His Girl Friday" & "Night Must Fall". Find her tedious in "The Women"& (the awful) "The Guilt of Janet Ames". But in "Picnic" & "The Velvet Touch", she's excellent.

Oh good. I found it streaming and thought it might be hard to find. From the writing on up, every aspect lifts it above similar storylines. I think it's the most subdued and textured performance of Russell's career. Plus Sydney Greenstreet as the detective! It's a real hidden gem.

I think my favorite is the Art of Noise version WITH Duane Eddy

Before the Criterion release two years ago, I had only seen lousy TV prints with commercials breaking it up. When I bought it I wasn't sure if it was as good as I thought it was. Turns out, it was much better. Glad it's finally getting the attention it deserves.

"Enemy of the State" (1998) with Gene Hackman and Will Smith is a sort of unofficial sequel to "The Conversation". It's not as good (few films are) but it's a solid thriller and worth watching.

♥️♥️♥️ I watched and photographed the dismantling of the Jack Tar Hotel while it was happening. I wish Union Square still looked like it did in this film. My current dentist is in the building where he met with Robert Duvall & Harrison Ford. This has always been one of my favorite Gene Hackman films.

I think it's one of Susan Haywards most appealing performances. If you fall into it, it's easy to suspend disbelief, while rooting for the oddballs to figure it out. Learning "whodunnit" could be sad, but somehow it isn't. Even people who don't like noir (whoever they are) would like this one.

They were clearly very selective about the comments they chose to feature. Some of these people sound downright delusional. He's a convicted felon and a liar. His election is one of the lowest points in our history. I won't normalize it.

I always thought it was hilarious that Merritt was intentionally trying to make people lisp when discussing the band. I mean, he called the group The 6ths (tricky enough to say) and the albums Wasps' Nests & Hyacinths and Thistles (no way to butch up any of that!)
