Great mentions here. The lack of Oscar attention for The Night of the Hunter was gross! Such a fantastic movie1
ReplyDeleteThanks. The Night of the Hunter: Zero Oscar nominations. :(
DeleteYou have to just laugh at the fact that Rashomon wasn’t nominated. And Rear Window, and Vertigo, and Night of the Hunter. Jesus.
ReplyDeleteGreat call on Giant. I love that damn movie.
Haha, indeed.
DeleteThanks. I dig Giant as well.
