Columbo had such a talent for politely threatening people without actually threatening them. He may as well have said "This isn't my first rodeo. I'm onto you, prick. I've got the scent, and I'm not going anywhere." 😂 But that's not Columbo

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA [1962] Directed by David Lean ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surely, when Omar Sharif signed on for this film, he wasn't aware David Lean would gift him with what might reasonably be considered the greatest character entrance in cinema.

This is one of my favorite moments from ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST [1975]. Miloš Forman really captured something special with this cast and source material. I love the relationship between McMurphy and Chief.

In BEVERLY HILLS COP [1984], Bronson Pinchot is on screen for ninety seconds and gives one of the most memorable performances.

JAWS [1975] At the start of the clip, I absolutely love the excellent bit of filmmaking where Quint looks at the reel when it first clicks, then it clicks a second time and he stops eating his cracker. On the third and fourth clicks, he puts on his harness.

EASTERN PROMISES [2007] Directed by David Cronenberg Mortensen and Watts are spectacular together in this film. What I love most about the film is how Cronenberg lets us make our own assumptions about Mortensen's character, and then shows how wrong we were to assume.

My all-time favorite credit flash for a director is in Sam Peckinpah's THE WILD BUNCH [1969]. William Holden's line and the freeze frame are awesome. It also happens to be my favorite western.

A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE [2005] Directed by David Cronenberg Between this film and Eastern Promises two years later, Viggo Mortensen is a completely different person. Unrecognizable. Ed Harris as the villain is unforgettable.

CROSS OF IRON [1977] Directed by Sam Peckinpah This is a very underseen WW2 film. Set on the Russian Front in 1943, it's a gritty and realistic affair. James Coburn is excellent, as are James Mason and Maximilian Schell. Peckinpah got his hands on real T-34 tanks, too!

"THE SWIMMER [1968] is a surreal, unsettling, and highly stylized masterpiece, featuring an unforgettable performance by Burt Lancaster, and directed by Frank Perry. It is based on the 1964 short story of the same title by author John Cheever. It follows a man’s delusional journey across suburban pools, which serves as a profound allegory for the decline of the American Dream, personal failure, and the loss of youth. A "suburban odyssey" that blends a dreamy, sunny aesthetic with dark, psychological undercurrents, it acts as a blistering satire of upper-middle class affluence, vanity and denial. The film is known for its dream-like, sometimes disjointed narrative, with some viewers seeing it as an interpretation of the descent into Hell."

THE WILD BUNCH [1969] 🤠 Directed by "Bloody Sam" Peckinpah This is my favorite western, and this exchange between Holden and Borgnine is one of my favorites quotes in all of film. Borgnine's statement is so undeniably and painfully true that Holden has no response.

PLATOON [1986] Directed by Oliver Stone Tom Berenger as Staff Sgt Barnes is so unhinged he actually scares me. Did Berenger ever give another performance anywhere close to this good? Sergeant Barnes is the stuff of nightmares.

JAWS [1975] 🦈 The immense weight of the group silence at 2:05 is almost unbearable. My God, the assortment of thoughts they must all be having. Anger giving way to resignation and regret. Quint doesn't have anything to say, either. He knows what he did, and it's too late.

A couple of days ago I posted about The Godfather, asking what moment best represented Michael's mental acceptance and transition from Michael to Don Corleone. I think this scene is one of the best candidates (along with the restaurant scene).

THE VERDICT [1982] Directed by Sidney Lumet ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I post this clip a few times a year because as I've said over and over, I feel this is Paul Newman's best performance. He drew from decades of experience in both life and in film to play attorney Frank Galvin.

Frank Pentangeli, played by Michael V. Gazzo, is one of my favorite characters in THE GODFATHER PART II [1974]. Him drunkenly saying, "I want everybody here to know, there's not gonna be no trouble from me!" lives rent-free in my head.
