Key Largo 1948
Great cast, from Bogey and Bacall (smoldering!) to Edward G. Robinson as—surprise—a mobster, to the wonderful Lionel Barrymore and finally Claire Trevor in an Academy Award-winning turn as the drunken moll with the heart o’ gold. All that and a hurricane, too! A solid classic that delivers.

The uneven tone of the storytelling only added to the problems. I didn’t hate it, but let’s just say I checked my watch more than once. And I liked it far less than Parasite—also less than Snowpiercer and The Host. Still, I maintain that Bong Joon Ho is taking bigger creative risks than almost anybody, so props to you, BJH!

Crossing Delancey 1988
First rewatch in a very long time, and very much needed. If ever a movie was chicken soup for the soul, this is it. I did find myself feeling more impatient with Izzy than I was when I first watched in my twenties. How can she not get it?!?!?
This movie and Local Hero gave Peter Riegert a little piece of my heart forever.
