Elmer Gantry- now I know where Paul Danno’s famous speech from There Will Be Blood comes from. Plus, this is a great film that features an astonishing performance from Burt Lancaster, one that he won an Oscar for.

Nowhere To Hide- a neat, visually extravagant yet, sadly a product of the ’90s from South Korea. But a fun film nevertheless.

Un Flic- my favourite French film director Jean-Pierre Melville reunites with Alain Delon and also throws Richard Crenna and Catherine Deneuve into the mix. It’s not character heavy or plot heavy but atmospheric, and the characters feel mythological more than archetypical cops and robbers. It’s a neat film with awesome cinematography and lots and lots of fog, smoke, and steam, to add to the mood.

Paper Moon- an amazing Bogdanovich instant classic. It sports an amazing, Oscar award wining performance by then 8-years old Tatum O’Neal; she and Ryan O’Neal are amazing in the film and the cinematography and direction (neither which were nominated for Oscars) are also outstanding.

The Phantom of the Paradise- a funky, interesting, hockey, well shot, meta, not-really-a-music from Brian De Palma that combines The Phantom of the Opera and Faust. I really liked it!
