My Favorite Movies

The title really says it all.

I've probably seen this film 6 or 7 times over the last 30 years, and though it's affect on me has changed somewhat with time (for instance I find watching it now a bit more disturbing than I did back in 1971), it's dark moral atmosphere, perverse political plot, and clever use of classical music has kept it relevant, fascinating, and plausible.
Simply a must for the serious film buff.

A bloody clever, weirdly compelling, mind fuck of a flick!
Would make a bitchen double feature with A Clockwork Orange.

She was my very first adult role model (NOT to be confused with that god awful 1974 musical starring Lucille Ball.)

The flip side of Woodstock!
Whether you liked the Stones or not (personally I loved em) this 1970 documentary is the best Rock and Roll film EVER.

Everyone needs a schmaltzy love story to call their own. Picnic is mine!

Considered an over-the-top satire in it's day (1976), we've since come to realize that Network was actually a dark prophecy of TV programing to come.
One of those rare films that's gotten even better with age.

Hoffman's tour de force!!
It's witty, intelligent and thoughtful, plus the fact that he looks like Sally Jessy Raphael only makes it that much more amusing.

Pillow Talk, the first Doris Day/Rock Hudson film from their now classic "bedroom trilogy" (along with Lover Come Back, 1961 & Send Me No Flowers, 1964) was not only perfectly released into those murky, watery years between the stuffy, repressed 50s and the sexually explosive mid-60s, it was also a perfectly cast (or so we thought), well written, highly entertaining chunk of film fluff that gained another whole comedic dimension when, years later, it's hunky star, Rock Hudson, blew all our minds by emerging from his well hidden celluloid closet.
And yes, that was one long sentence!

That Mike Hammer sure knows how to chat up the ladies.

See.. beauty IS only skin deep!
