    Italianamerican 1974

    ★★★★ Rewatched by Jack Newman 08 Aug 2022

    those two minutes at the end where she doesn't know the camera is still rolling are just perfect and it gets me every time

  • Something Wild

    Something Wild 1986

    ★★★★½ Watched by Jack Newman 27 May 2022

    RIP Ray Liotta, very few could say that they held their own (if not outshined) against peak Pesci & De Niro.

    Also, this movie fucking rocks and it's the most terrifying I've ever seen Liotta.

  • Moneyball

    Moneyball 2011

    ★★★★ Watched by Jack Newman 01 Apr 2022

    “How can you not be romantic about baseball?”

    the dawn of the modern game

  • Out 1

    Out 1 1971

    ★★★★½ Watched by Jack Newman 13 Mar 2022

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    "∞"

    Thirteen hours of confusion, Balzac, Berto, improv, hidden meanings, conspiracies, and secret codes and I'm still kinda (very) confused

    Worth it though

  • The Beatles: Get Back

    The Beatles: Get Back 2021

    ★★★★★ Watched by Jack Newman 02 Dec 2021

    “And now your hosts for this evening, The Bottles”

    I had the most idiotic grin on my face for 8 straight hours

  • Le Doulos

    Le Doulos 1962

    ★★★★½ Watched by Jack Newman 07 Sep 2021

    RIP Jean-Paul Belmondo, one of the coolest and most daring to ever do it

  • MouseHunt

    MouseHunt 1997

    ★★★½ Watched by Jack Newman 31 Aug 2021

    Watching this unlocked the deepest, vaguest, forgotten memory of seeing this on a tv as old as the moon landing at my grandparent's house on Long Island when I was five years old

  • The Birdcage

    The Birdcage 1996

    ★★★★ Watched by Jack Newman 21 Aug 2021

    Elaine May just refuses to miss

  • A Canterbury Tale

    A Canterbury Tale 1944

    ★★★★★ Watched by Jack Newman 01 Aug 2021

    "The Pilgrims Way still winds above the weald
    through wood and break and many a fertile field
    But though so little's changed since Chaucer's day
    another kind of pilgrim walks this way"

    A great film with an even more remarkable backstory. All three leads were complete unknowns including John Sweet, an actual US Army sergeant when he was cast by Powell and Pressburger as Sgt. Bob Johnson in his first and only acting role. Once the film was released in 1944, Sweet donated his entire $2000 salary to the NAACP.

  • Sunset Boulevard

    Sunset Boulevard 1950

    ★★★★★ Watched by Jack Newman 30 Jun 2021

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Seitz recalled asking Wilder what he required for the pet chimpanzee's funeral scene. Wilder replied, "you know, just your standard monkey funeral shot."

  • A Night at the Opera

    A Night at the Opera 1935

    ★★★★ Watched by Jack Newman 28 Jun 2021

    The best thing about Marx Brothers movies is that 95% of them are absolute chaos but the other 5% will be Harpo playing the most serene harp solo you've ever heard

  • The Girl Who Knew Too Much

    The Girl Who Knew Too Much 1963

    ★★★½ Watched by Jack Newman 03 May 2021

    Mario Bava's Reefer Madness
