Actually its "The Lady OR the Tiger".

Actually, I wondered if Alicia's demand for 'honesty' was supposed to ring a bit hollow - insofar as I don't think she's ever told Kalinda about her affair with Will.

Julianna Margulies is such a good, subtle actress - its not a big or showy thing but she really nailed the feeling of dread and discomfort one often (usually?) has to overcome when standing up to the boss (asking DIanne to match Canning's offer).

Hmph - how bout the ending of "City Lights" - with possibly the greatest close-up and/or the greatest final shot of all time.

I don't think there's any mystery about what was going on in The White Ribbon - nobody can seriously think the kids were not responsible for the 'unsolved' crimes.

The Sopranos has the best lady or the tiger ending EVER - even better than The Lady or the Tiger. For shame that the people making this list omitted it.

This is the first "Uncle Vanya" I'd seen and so far no other version of this or any other Chekhov play has come close.

Either this is really sloppy writing on the part of the show OR something is afoot with this whole story about Caitlin's fiance, etc.

Judging by what's been going on in previous weeks (especially indications Caitlin has a crush on Will), and just the last episode (David Lee seeming to engage her in helping him take over Will's office), I have to wonder if Caitlin's story of a pregnancy and boyfriend is made up and she (and her uncle) are up to

Why bring Downton Abbey into this - there are tons of period dramas on English TV.

They are running episodes of that on Antenna TV now, I think on Saturday nights.

It was really good but in my book "I Claudius" is still tops - not just in shows coming from the UK - but is the best TV 'miniseries' of all time.

DW Griffith was a true visionary genius and Birth of A Nation is extremely important  if you are interested in film history (or the history of racism in America)  - but I'd never recommend it to a 'causal viewer' with the expectations of it being a piece of 'seamless' entertainment and it would be a terrible way to

So are you saying that all recent moves are by extension just 'naturally' superior to Citizen Kane just because they are newer?

Most older shows before the 80's. maybe, were written as 'one-offs' - that is they didn't have running storylines. It's not exactly like you have to watch the entire first season of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" to "catch up" with what's going on in an episode in season 3.

"The Artist" has come under attack from many in the 'critical' community, but  IMHO it did many things well, including dramatizing just how shockingly fast audiences circa 1930 'forgot' about silent films once sound came in. Something like 3/5 of all silent films were thrown into the garbage and no longer exist.

Female Mannequins in the 60's would never have breasts like that.

I have not read "The Trial" but I presume most Kafka would be thought of as being in the 'unfilmable' - category, but it's a pretty good movie with many great moments.

That's a really interesting idea about Dianne playing Will.

Is it going to be on next week?
