And democracy requires compromise, even when you are 100 percent right...You can be completely right and you still are going to have to engage with folks who disagree with you. —Barack Obama

Remembering Olivia Hussey on her birthday. My favorite films with Hussey are Romeo and Juliet -my favorite Hussey performance- and Death on the Nile. The film with Hussey I’d like to see the most is Lost horizon.

Remembering the great William Holden on his birthday. My favorite films with Holden are Sunset Blvd., Born yesterday and Network (Sunset Blvd. and Network are my favorite Holden performances).

Remembering the Oscar-winning WILLIAM HOLDEN — born 108yrs ago today. I LOVE LUCY (1955)

I still can't decide whether I like the book or the movie more. Let's say they're both perfect. To Kill a Mockingbird.

365 celluloid people I love. Day 107. Denzel Washington. He's become the John Wayne of modern-day movies: I’ll watch anything he’s in, good or bad, because he's there.

My favorite Schneider performance

LUISE RAINER was the first actor or actress to win multiple acting Oscars, the first to win back to back Oscars and, passing away at the grand age of 104, the longest-living Oscar winner of them all.

One of one. Marcus Miller, Lisa Fischer, and Fonzi Thornton honor their dear friend Luther’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. #LutherForever

Remembering the great Claudia Cardinale on her birthday. My favorite films with Cardinale are Rocco e suoi fratelli and Il gattopardo, but my favorite Cardinale performance is Vaghe stelle dell’Orsa.

Neil Jordan’s THE CRYING GAME (1992) • Entering the Criterion Collection in July! criterion.com/films/33812-th… Jordan’s emotionally stunning international sensation overcame the barriers between independent and mainstream cinema to become one of the defining films of the 1990s.

Remembering Bobby Lapointe on his birthday. My favorite films with Lapointe are Les choses de la vie and Max et les ferrailleurs. The film with Lapointe I’d like to see the most is La veuve Couderc.

@CineGiant A film I really disliked. Changing the relationship to rival businesses (from rival coworkers in original) really soured the story (especially when one is an indie store devouring corporation). Ryan, Hanks, cast are all fine but I can’t let go of the destruction of Ryan’s store.

You’ve Got Mail (98): As easy as Meg Ryan’s neutral separates, but still packs an emotional punch. Ryan does some of her best work, and it’s fun to see Hanks slightly snarkier. Ephron’s reliance on cute and quirky gets a bit much, but the writing is acerbic enough to elevate. B+

#otd in 1932 the short film "The Music Box" is released, starring Laurel & Hardy, their only film to win an Academy Award (for Best Live Action Short Film) which is a shame because they were a brilliant team. What’s your favorite film of theirs? Mine? The Music Box & Way Out West

Martin Ritt's HUD (1963) • Entering the Criterion Collection in July! criterion.com/films/30203-hud A family’s downfall becomes a stark elegy for the ideals of the American frontier in this quietly subversive reimagining of western myths.

Good morning.

@TheStingisBack Weirdly a friend of mine brought it up today (in context of a Dead Ringers conversation) it’s one of her all time faves!

Does anyone remember the weird past-life thriller Dead Again (1991) Robin Williams shows up uncredited as a disgraced psychiatrist; he didn’t want anyone expecting a comedy. He only has three scenes, and he’s absolutely electric. Oh, and happy birthday, Emma Thompson
