One of the greats, and one of dozens if not hundreds of Iranian filmmakers whose career was curtailed by their government. BASHU, THE LITTLE STRANGER, is an exceptionally empathetic work about the devastating of the Iran-Iraq war ... so of course they banned it.

Budd Boetticher’s Comanche Station and Buchanan Rides Alone are two classic Westerns which modern film students can learn from.
Watching the emphasis on cuts on dialogue between the characters Lane and Cody for example

I have a problem with my new sound bar.
On the one hand, I want to watch The Thin Red Line once more and crank the volume
On the other hand, I don’t want my neighbors to hate me (which would be justified)

Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father.

Everytime I hear someone disparage Frank Capra, I think of how Capra was one of Akira Kurosawa’s three favorite American filmmakers, Kurosawa adored Its a Wonderful Life, and created his own Capraesque film with One Wonderful Sunday
