The Director guy also played the Producer guy in Top Hat. The Band Wagon does have a slight structural problem in my opinion, which keeps it below Singin' in the Rain in the MGM musical sweepstakes. The movie basically ends on half an hour of musical numbers. Not that they aren't entertaining (especially the one which…

Quite light on the film front, with Night and Fog and Lessons of Darkness for my Film101 class (plus a documentary on Women in World War II, but it was more of a TV-style documentary I don’t have anything to say about). In addition to those, I watched Sansho the Bailiff.

As a classical music student who dislikes opera, I tried to sit through the taped version of the 1990 met version once. I thought Rheingold was brilliant in places, but got progressively more frustrated and gave up in the second act of Siegfried (the "dragon" did me in, I mean he spent half an hour singing about…

I thought the one involving both Cape Fears followed by Eraserhead (at 4am) was pretty damn memorable. The only problem was that Scorsese's Cape Fear is a really bad movie.

They aren't even real lense flares most of the time in those kinds of movies, they are just added in later digitally, which kind of defeats the point.
Did you love the space two-parter with Bryan Cranston as the space captain? I remember cracking up for minutes after he said "Danger Zone" in a way that only Archer can…

No, but the whole purpose of this seems to be about looking back on fond memories. It's a little difficult to have fond memories when you didn't exist yet.

I saw Cabaret and still don't understand Liza Minnelli's appeal. The one thing I liked her in was New York, New York, and that was basically her trying to be like her mother. I love All That Jazz, but find Fosse's direction a bit lacklustre in Cabaret.
