Critics and fans rebelled against the heavy orchestration of The Soft Parade (out today, 1969), but I love The Doors’ anthem “Tell All The People,” the soaring melody of “Touch Me,” and sparkling inside tracks like “Runnin Blue” and the psychedelic, only-in-the-60s title track 👍

Fred Zinnemann’s The Nun’s Story (out today, 1959) is about more than Audrey Hepburn’s journey to becoming a twisted sister; the film hauntingly condemns the mass murder and enslavement in Belgian Congo that tests Audrey’s faith. Strong stuff for a “tasteful” religious flick.

@PopcornPost_ I'm not a fan of his. The only movie I saw with him is the mafia crime parody 'Wise Guys' with Danny Devito and Joe Piscopo.

Just the opening chord of the A Hard Day’s Night album (out today, 1964) quickly vaults it near the top of great movie soundtracks; that superb title song is followed by tracks like “Can’t Buy Me Love” and “You Can’t Do That,” filled with bite, energy and speed. The Beatles rock

@Noirchick1 I love Steiger, but I just happened upon him in Bronson movie Love and Bullets. Gawd was that awful. Steiger alright, but he was just earning grocery money in this crappy movie.

Remembering Rod Steiger who died this date 6/9/2002- brilliant in intense leading character roles - including his Oscar winning "In The Heat of the Night". He named two actors the best he ever worked with - Spencer Tracy & Sidney Poitier.. Are you a Steiger fan?

@ATRightMovies I enjoyed the original but the remake gives it a totally different feel.

What’s the story with Sue Lyon (#BOTD)? Kubrick gave her a fabulously risqué debut in Lolita, catching the attention of John Huston (Night Of The Iguana) and John Ford (7 Women.) The 1980s brought total obscurity. But for a moment in time, she glorified the coquettish nymphet.

Art rock, anyone? The Grand Illusion (out today, 1977) launched Styx to stardom, with the rather goofy hit “Come Sail Away” and the more sublime “Fooling Yourself” driving sales. Today the LP seems like enjoyable nonsense; “Miss America” is a tasty little rocker. A 1970s curio.

Vittorio de Sica (#BOTD) had funny acting roles in The 13 Chairs and Blood For Dracula; but as a director, the dude knew his tragedies! The post-war plight of children (Shoeshine) and seniors (Umberto D) hits home in his painful neorealist classics; a truly brilliant director.

Hey movie group: I found another beauty of a movie theater, this one in the quaint town of Evanston Wyoming. It doesn’t appear to be a movie theater anymore but the building is still part of the town’s historic downtown. I would have loved to have watched films here in its heyday

Woody, just send a postcard! To Rome With Love (out today, 2012) feels like a throwback to Woody Allen’s zany comedies but it’s amazing how strained and uninspired the jokes are. An ensemble cast and 4 different stories, and it still feels like Woody on autopilot. And I love Rome

While common today, it must have startled 1940s audiences watching Double Indemnity (out today, 1944) to see two killers committing the perfect crime and getting away with it. The ending feels Hollywood (crime must be punished!) but Barbara Stanwyck’s icy Phyllis still shocks us.
