    Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

    ★★★★

    Brilliant satire, anchored by the terrific performances of Sterling Hayden and George C. Scott, ironic that the only clunker performance/character is Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove, and way ahead of its time in warning us that some high-ranking lunatic would start World War III because our bodily fluids were being poisoned by fluoridated water

  • Manhattan Melodrama

    Manhattan Melodrama

    ★★★★

    Clark Gable and William Powell are solid, and Myrna Loy steals every scene she’s in, but we couldn’t make sense of the title until a tidal wave of melodrama hit this movie in its last fifteen minutes, which left us muttering “holy shit” over and over and over

    Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same

    ★★★★

    "I don't always listen to Led Zeppelin, but when I do, so do my neighbors"

  • The Big Steal

    The Big Steal

    ★★★½

    This movie has three of my favorite things: Robert Mitchum, snappy dialog, and the sound of tires squealing on a dirt road
