@TheWatchdogDBQ @DannyDrinksWine Its hard to find. Good luck. Snag a dvd before it finally disappears. I adore that film.

@tim_everitt @DannyDrinksWine NO WAY! It's one of the best film of the latter 20th Cent Can it even be streamed? Because I've been thinking about watching it again, having just finished THE RIGHT STUFF

@TheWatchdogDBQ @DannyDrinksWine I wonder why. For one thing, it's out of print. Only original release dvds for sale. Should be out on Bluray, but no.

@tim_everitt @DannyDrinksWine Another really fine Kaufman film And also criminally underrated, almost never talked about anymore, even with it being one of D D Lewis's best films (debut film even?)

@MadameGilflurt He's got a huge fanbase.

It's Anton Walbrook, to start your Thursday in style.

@SugarpussOShea1 Good line.

#TheOnlyScienceIKnow is fiction

@TheWatchdogDBQ @DannyDrinksWine I would have put Unbearable Lightness on my list.

@DannyDrinksWine Surprised and delighted to see THE RIGHT STUFF in there Phil Kaufman is a really underrated director

@KubrickPoint omg, I never caught that.

Some fans believe Eyes Wide Shut (1999) ends with Helena being taken. She drifts away while Bill and Alice talk, and those same two older men from the earlier party are right there again. That is why the ending feels so cold: Bill may have escaped, but his daughter didn’t.

@hazelflag Carol is on the Mt. Rushmore of Golden Age actresses. You taught me that.

Bonjour.

Remembering English Director David Lean BTD 1908. Directing Lawrence of Arabia.

@TheStingisBack I first saw most of those on a 12 inch TV on vhs. Let's just say my system today is better.

@tim_everitt Yep, I have a beautiful set-up. Fully immersive. I'm loving this journey of cinematic discovery.

MOVIES I’VE NEVER SEEN #13 Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard Is it truly an iconic “must-see”? Or is it better left in the past? Should I watch? Convince me: YES or NO—and why.

@TheStingisBack Awesome. Hope you have a good screening room!

@tim_everitt And that's the beauty of this little project. I've seen some incredible films recently. Tokyo Story (1953), Rashomon (1950), Holy Motors ( 2012), Nights of Cabiria (1957), Lone Star (1996), October Sky (1999), The Driver (1978), Sabrina (1954)... that's just for starters.

@HollywoodYeste1 @TheStingisBack Oh yeah, the cat.

@TheStingisBack YES - Audrey Hepburn is one of those stars who brought extra magic to every film. Each of her films is worth watching, but this one is extra special. The scenery is spectacular, the story’s intriguing, she and George Peppard CLICK… and, as if that’s not enough… there’s a cat.

@SugarpussOShea1 There should be a Joe Hill movie. But that might change minds, where Norma Rae was a feel good Hollywood film. Alas.

Mar 25: labor movement #Bales2026FilmChallenge Norma Rae (1979)

@ILoveToTalkFilm Good call.

I've been revisiting some older Edward G. Robinson films lately, and he reminds me so much of Joe Pesci. Two incredible character actors with fiery personas and shorter statures who dominated the screen and were as talented as anyone.

@Noirchick1 Babyface.

What is your favorite Pre-Code film you would recommend to someone not familiar with that film period?

@Noirchick1 She has a star on the Walk of Fame.

@derekahunter Reallly. Just put your gun under your pillow.

@js_film_nyc Can't believe Lady Snowblood was 1973. Seems like yesterday.

Wishing a happy 79th to the legendary Meiko Kaji, pictured here on the set of COHABITATION ERA, February 1973. More than 60 years since her film debut, Japan Society will host Kaji this weekend for her first NY visit in nearly half a century.

@DannyDrinksWine Yes. All that.

"In 'La Strada' (1954), which is my favourite film, Fellini is God. The film was more powerful than a work of neo-realism. With 'La Strada', Fellini composed a lyric poem, the great epic of man’s pain and joy." --- Abbas Kiarostami
