God, I love North by Northwest for the same reason I love Casablanca: you can view the movie through the eyes of whatever mood you are in.

Does anyone consider Shrek a masterpiece?

As I get older, I like The Beatles less and less. I used to love them.

I love this column because I get why people don't like certain things but I can argue they are wrong.

I am ashamed I did not think of doing that bit myself.

Vertigo, Vertigo, Vertigo!!! I freakin' hate, hate, hate Vertigo. Half the movie is a silent film of a man following a woman around. Parts of it are laughable (especially when the Novak inflatable is thrown down). And just kill your wife for Christ's sake. Did you really need to scour the city for an agoraphobic…

Oh, God. Hai Karate. My father had a bottle of that. I think it is in the attic.

I believe this may be the inspriation for Krieger's outfit.

Amazon didn't pick it up. Evidently Woody Allen has sated Whitey's need for good expat dramedy.

For me, when it comes to Kate Beckinsale, it's Cold Comfort Farm all the way.

I have Metropolitan on digital versatile disc.

Wouldn't lube have to leap over myriad FDA hurdles?

Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls!

Isn't it funny how a little thing can just leave us in peals of laughter? And it never makes sense!

Swoosie Kurtz's career was usually playing daffy people. Now she plays bitches. A gig's a gig, but it is funny how her persona to casting agents has changed.

I honestly thought Frankie would take the pizza.

I agree that his gayness was integral to the plot. I think a preponderance of the scenes with McGregor were gratuitous. Having said that, I thought the movie was excellent.

I'll watch Bound any day of the week. I love the noirish conventions and I would switch teams for Gina Gershon.

One can argue from a cinematic standpoint, films were superior during the time of self-censorship. This is especially true from the standpoint of film being a means of communicating information visually.

I just want to say that I thought it was a nice bit of acting on Kumail's part when he was deciding to whether or not to join the caper. His right hand shook.
