William Holden delivers his iconic line in the opening of THE WILD BUNCH [1969], setting up what I think is maybe the best and most well-timed director credit flash ever.

"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."

SEXY BEAST [2000] Directed by Jonathan Glazer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sir Ben Kingsley put everyone back on their heels with this uncharacteristically unhinged, psychotic and volatile performance bordering on frightening. Supporting actors Ray Winstone and Ian McShane are also bang-on.

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.

MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD [2003] is Peter Weir's masterpiece. Based on the first novel in Patrick O'Brian's acclaimed Aubrey/Maturin series, it's set in 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars, with HMS Surprise operating in the South Atlantic and Pacific. It's incredible and I'm obsessed with it. Naval experts and historians agree this movie is one of the best and most accurate representations of day-to-day life and procedures on a ship-of-the-line at that time. At typical fighting range, a 12-pound iron cannonball traveling a quarter mile per second has enough energy to pass through TWO SOLID FEET of oak hull planking, sending lethal wood splinters flying in all directions, killing or maiming men on the other side. The splinters were often deadlier than the ball itself. That's a detail the film actually gets right: surgeons of the period pulled more wood out of men than iron. That's with a 12-pounder. Imagine what one of the bigger ships could do with 18 and 32 pound cannons 😵

WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION [1957] Directed by Billy Wilder The first time I heard this crack from Charles Laughton, I had to pause it because I was laughing so hard. Absolutely unrepentant savagery 😂
