Minnie and Moskowitz is pretty rare on streaming, right? Glad people will have a chance to check it out. Should have a higher profile among his works imo.

It’s the only major Cassavetes that I’ve never been able to see, so I’m pretty excited about this.

The two "Ringo" westerns by Duccio Tessari are quite good and seldom seen here (both were extremely popular in Italy)

Something I still remember: an interview with Janet Maslin where she said she thought Nicholson was great for the first half-hour of Wolf.
Interviewer: "What happened then?"Maslin: "He turned into a wolf."
I remember it as being pretty good.

I remember the scene where he pees on James Spader (iirc) to be pretty great.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 25 April 2021 00:28 (three years ago) link
The only thing I remember about that movie is a gag involving Nicholson's, er, keen sense of smell.

It's striking that Peter Yates made that movie back to back with The Friends of Eddie Coyle--such different approaches to "the crime movie," both done so well.

I really liked Max Ophuls' Caught the other night. Billed as a noir, it's really somewhere between psychological thriller and a melodramatic "woman's picture."
― Three Rings for the Elven Bishop (Dan Peterson), Saturday, 15 May 2021 13:34 (two years ago) link
The book is fun, but a little *too* light. I didn't know there was a movie - conceivably it might be much better than the book. Robert Redford and George Segal? Definitely sold.
― Chuck_Tatum, Saturday, 15 May 2021 16:31 (two years ago) link
(The book of The Hot Rock.)
I've never synched with Eddie Coyle, found it drab and miserable - which obviously, it is, on purpose! - but Mitchum's such a hopeless shmuck from start to finish, it's hard to feel much for the ending. (I may need to rewatch.)

Two great flavors of crime film... I do prefer Eddie Coyle's pessimistic/realistic outlook... obviously can see Mitchum coming off like an asshole in *any* movie but I love the old bastard in this one especially--ugh, that hockey game! Played beautifully. Not a bad way to die, either.

Macao not even fully Von Sternberg, right? Nicholas Ray finished it off, though it's more Sternberg in sensibility for sure.
I think of it as more of a Mitchum star vehicle than anything tho.

It's interesting to see which animated films they go with when that's one of their blind spots as far as their disc releases go. fantastic planet, watership down, some stop motion.
The Asphalt Jungle was the weakest film in that warner noir DVD set. (hard to compete with gun crazy and out of the past.) the huston i'm interested in seeing is The Dead which had a botched dvd release that was missing the first reel.
