Crucial Cinema: February 2011
http://www.crucialcinema.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. AFI/BFI #215: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (1967). 1998), - (2007). Both on screen and off you could say this classic movie was somewhat of a family affair. The trio of Stanley Kramer, William Rose and Spencer Tracy had previously worked on It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Just 4 years earlier, Kramer and Tracy also pairing up on Inherit The Wind. In 1960. Add to that the fact that this was Hepburn and Tracy's ninth film together, having started back in 1942's Woman of the Year.

Crucial Cinema: January 2012
http://www.crucialcinema.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. AFI/BFI #196: The Jazz Singer (1927). Samson Raphaelson, Alfred A. Cohn and Jack Jarmuth. 90 (1998), - (2007). There is a lot of myth that surrounds The Jazz Singer. And whether it deserves to hold such an important place in movie history. The fact that it got dropped from the AFI 100 in 2007 is in itself an indication. No, it wasn't the first picture to feature sound. And that often quoted line that supposedly kicked-off the talkies? What makes The Jazz Singer. A quarter of a...

Crucial Cinema: March 2011
http://www.crucialcinema.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. AFI/BFI #209: Do The Right Thing (1989). Do The Right Thing. I watched both the DVD and also parts of the Netflix HD stream. The DVD retains the overly saturated and yellow tinged cinematography of the original film which adds to the sense of oppressive heat. The Blu ray has apparently lost this in favor of crisp lifelike color and the Netflix stream did seem a little less yellow to me. Take your pick. Should you see it? Posted by Martin Lister. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Along wi...

http://www.crucialcinema.com/2011/08/afibfi-200-place-in-sun-1951.html
Friday, August 12, 2011. AFI/BFI #200: A Place In The Sun (1951). Michael Wilson, Harry Brown. William C. Mellor. 92 (1998), - (2007). For a remake in Hollywood. Stevens sued them for breach of contract and they finally let him make it and thank god they did. A Place In The Sun. Is as much a masterpiece of American cinema as the book is a classic of American literature. Is just one of those pictures. The less you know the better it will be. Taylor and Clift relaxing on location at Lake Tahoe. The film to...

http://www.crucialcinema.com/2012/01/afibfi-198-my-name-is-joe-1998.html
Thursday, January 5, 2012. AFI/BFI #198: My Name Is Joe (1998). Ken Loach is one of the master's of this kind of working class british cinema and he has two spots on the BFI list with both My Name Is Joe. 91) and one of the most acclaimed british films ever made, Kes. 7) He started in television with truly impact-full docudramas such as Cathy Come Home. In 1964. He made Kes. Just five years later. I watched Kes. For the first time in grammar school and until seeing My Name Is Joe. So grounded in reality ...
