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

THE WILD BUNCH [1969] Directed by Sam Peckinpah This is my favorite Western, and this is one of my favorite moments in it. Four words of overwhelming profundity. The men are in the clear, but decide to turn back to avenge their friend, knowing death is absolutely guaranteed.

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.

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.

"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."

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).

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.

TERMINATOR 2 [1991] ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This movie is a damn GOLDMINE for clips. The sheer volume and density of action throughout this movie is astounding. It's almost unrelenting. This is one of my favorite sequences, among several other equally thrilling ones.

This clip from JULIUS CAESAR [1953] opens with Brando as Mark Antony, grieving a just-murdered Caesar. BUT... at 2:30 moves to a speech from Brutus, played by James Mason. WOW!! I'd never heard Mason project his voice like this! I'm so used to his soft-spoken sophistication 🧐

In honor of Good Friday, here's one of the best and most iconic moments from Bob Hoskins in THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY [1980]. I posted it fairly recently, but frankly it deserves to be posted regularly.

FULL METAL JACKET [1987] I'm a defender of the second half of this movie. Ermey steals the first 45 minutes, and I often hear people dismiss the rest. It necessarily brings full circle the ugly and uncomfortable transformation of these boys into jaded and hardened killers.

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER? [1967] This is a long clip, but I couldn't bring myself to cut any of it. This is Spencer Tracy's last monologue. He passed 17 days later. Hepburn is crying because she's both in awe of his talent, and knows it is very likely his last performance. Spencer Tracy's death on June 10, 1967, was sudden but not entirely unexpected. While he passed away unexpectedly in his kitchen from a heart attack, he had been in severely declining health for years due to heart disease and diabetes, making his passing an unsurprising conclusion to a long period of ill health. He had been battling severe health issues including kidney failure and heart trouble throughout production. After his heart attack, his longtime partner, Katharine Hepburn, found him and was with him at the end.

SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS [1957] Directed by Alexander Mackendrick ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a film!! Burt Lancaster is so good in this it's not even fair. It's just bonkers. Tony Curtis is damn good too. He's no slouch, surely it's intimidating to share a scene with Burt Lancaster.

This is the longest clip I've ever posted. It's D-Day so I wanted to post this sequence, but every time I chose a place to cut, I thought "I can't cut it here. It would be too abrupt, and it's too good." This went on and on until it ended up at eighteen minutes. Eighteen minutes is probably the bare minimum amount of time we should take to honor those men who made the ultimate sacrifice eighty-two years ago, not just men from the United States, but also men from Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Free France, Netherlands, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Norway, Poland, South Africa, and Southern Rhodesia (modern Zimbabwe).
