Of course, there's also that dark Capra oddity, ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. I never quite made it through GUNGA DIN but people swear by that one.<br /><br />I agree regarding AMERICAN BEAUTY, that was a dud. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, while I know is iconic, didn't do much for me personally. I wouldn't watch it a second time. Such are the movies, a flashpoint for discussion and debate.<br /><br />Let me know when you get to 1970s Hollywood, esp. Peckinpah and Ashby, those are two of the greatest directors of all time in my book.Greenblatt the Great!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05833132744552978594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789524189763910172.post-30449908068032803052010-11-09T18:36:18.895-08:002010-11-09T18:36:18.895-08:00or what about The Awful Truth or My Favorite Wife....or what about The Awful Truth or My Favorite Wife. Only Angels have wings is brilliant. Also Gandhi was pretty good thats a big movie and I think it should win just based on the number of extras. Also Silence of the Lambs has great production design.Eric M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12895865868979154212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789524189763910172.post-66652857463766027272010-11-09T11:28:18.886-08:002010-11-09T11:28:18.886-08:00Oh come on, Greenblatt, Silence of the Lambs is a ...Oh come on, Greenblatt, Silence of the Lambs is a great film!

His Girl Friday is perfection, of course. <br /><br />But the toppermost of the poppermost for me is Bringing up Baby.Nadie nadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631487071378583598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789524189763910172.post-91181320501191397492010-11-09T10:05:32.283-08:002010-11-09T10:05:32.283-08:00You make some good points.

Another cinematic crime.<br /><br /> "Crash"? How about unmemorable, overheated, and/or overrated Oscar winners such as "Out of Africa," "Gandhi," "Silence of the Lambs," "Shakespeare in Love." None of these were particularly outstanding or Oscar-worthy in my world. The list of cheesy Oscar winners is too long, I don't want to take up all of your blog space!Greenblatt the Great!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05833132744552978594noreply@blogger.com
