  Notorious 1946

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Feb 2023

  Absolutely gorgeous cinematography and stunning costumes by the incomparable Edith Head set a spectacular scene for Ingrid and Cary to stage a battle of wits with Claude Rains. Holds up beautifully.

  Blow Out 1981

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Feb 2023

  Travolta is great, Lithgow is creepy and threatening, and the film gets past its cliche elements with style and a strong ending. Holds up very well!
