    Wait Until Dark

    ★★★★

    The plot is ludicrously convoluted and the husband character suuucks...

    But Alan Arkin... and that final act... Scary as hell.

  • Glengarry Glen Ross

    Glengarry Glen Ross

    ★★★★★

    "You got, you know, you got -- what'd I learn? Hm? As a kid, on Western? Don't sell a guy one car. You sell him five cars over fifteen years."
    "Is that right?"
    "Goddamn right that's right. Now, guys come on: oh, the blah-blah-blah, I know what I'll do. I'll go in, rob everybody blind, and I'll go to Argentina, 'cause nobody ever thought of this before..."

    Neoliberalism stripped bare. Devastatingly bleak, appallingly funny, brilliantly acted (Lemmon takes the top prize, truly legendary). Beware: you will find yourself quoting it for the rest of your life.

    The Dark Horse

    ★★★★½

    How powerful is The Dark Horse? Well, by the half-way mark I'd already lost count of how many times I'd taken my glasses off due to crying...

    Cliff Curtis gives perhaps the finest movie-performance ever filmed in this country: amazing.
