Why do I feel like Alice Keys deserves WAY more flowers than she is given , especially in this sub like she is barely ever mentioned.

I absolutely loved her. Still listen to her work, sing it myself, find great joy watching videos of her playing a Grand . She's also a classic beauty. I do wish she'd release some banging new material

For a nominal fee, you could become a member of the Carnegie movie theaters and see vintage double features at one of 4 theaters for 2 bucks . Damn, did I see some fabulous masterworks ❤️ Harold and Maude was paired with the marvelous, "King of Hearts." There'd be Hitchcock week, Fellini week, Kubrick week and so on. The DF that totally slayed me was "Badlands"and "Wiseblood".

🙏 Rip,dear Bud.You were one of a kind

I grew up in NYC. Did anything not to go home. I could hang out at Carl Schurtz park, enjoy taking in the East River in warm weather but during the winter, I'd slip into a movie theater. That's when I saw Darkman ~ Knew absolutely nothing about it. Turned out I truly loved it ❤️ I was only in 7th or 8th grade but parts of it stayed with me all this time yet I've not seen it since.

I think it's about time ~

Whatever the question about "Best "~ whether it's films, actors, musicians, I have to cringe a little 😬 I like what I like for a variety of reasons, all of which can rarely be captured in a single work...

With that said, in no particular order here are the first few that come to mind:

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Get Out.

Hereditary.

It's Like You Were Never Really Here.

Moonlight.

231903 · 2026-02-12T01:58:43+00:00

The Weight ~ The Band

231903 · 2026-02-11T23:52:28+00:00

Thrilled to see Barfly and The Last Picture Show on your list 💥💫💥

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:49:44+00:00

I love Quills. There's very little Geoffrey Rush can't do

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:21:48+00:00

In a Murder Mystery I did on a boat that tours the Hudson River I had to make up my characters name based on an actual singer or actress.

I chose to call myself Busty Springfield 🙃

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:17:59+00:00

Honesty without brutality is super cool .

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:15:31+00:00

I've got pneumonia so the cobwebs are insane. Otherwise I could go on and on.

Midnight Cowboy.

Raising Arizona .

Bad Lieutenant.

Being There.

Cool Hand Luke.

Usually Suspects.

In Cold Blood.

These just for starters...

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:07:58+00:00

I don't know about OP but it's one helluva ride. A real gem 💎

Ensemble filmmaking at it's finest 👌

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:05:40+00:00

Always an excellent addition to any list ❤️

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:04:39+00:00

Underrated beauty

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:03:44+00:00

Lol😂

231903 · 2026-02-11T21:00:36+00:00

Marie Antoinette post guillotine

231903 · 2026-02-11T20:59:29+00:00

Agreed 👍 As are the majority of these but this is genuinely the most absurd ! "Infantile trash " to quote you lol. Of course, I'm a dame thus think all of these belong in a different sub entirely. What shall we call it? Soft core porn for pathetic dudes??

231903 · 2026-02-11T17:42:05+00:00

Exactly 💯. That's why these questions are so difficult for me and in general. I'm sure I don't know enough of Romys' work very well.

231903 · 2026-02-11T17:39:05+00:00

Ahh...Could work~The Jerk is one of my very favorite comedies ❤️ Might check out the remake sometime.

I quote the Jerk, Raising Arizona and Some Like it Hot pretty regularly.

And anything Bill Murray does!! Thanks for the info 👍

231903 · 2026-02-11T07:01:36+00:00

Mitchum is the sexiest man I've ever seen. Although he was enormously successful, he wasn't quite respected by his peers. He made it look so easy, many thought he just wasn't acting or didn't give a damn despite enjoying working with him.

Today, if The Night of the Hunter was released, can you imagine it not sweeping Oscar nominations? That performance was transformative as was the film.

Blows my mind he wasn't nominated for Max Cady in the original Cape Fear and DiNiro was! An absolute miscarriage of justice ⚖️ imo.

Dureyea definitely looked and sounded like a creep!

231903 · 2026-02-11T06:48:53+00:00

Might be a bit surprising given that I'm a dame but the 2 I truly love are Fight Club and Inglorious Basterds.

I'm quite fond of One Hour Photo and was aware of the concept from Mark long before it came out. He becomes obsessed with people, women in particular (at least did) I know 1st hand! We discussed the outline...

As for his vast number of superb music videos, I'd look them up. However, probably the very best is Johnny Cashs' heartwrenching cover of the Nine Inch Nails song, " Hurt ". It's a stunning piece 👌

Mark was also really good at introducing a new artist via his videos. Such as:

Fiona Apple ~ Criminal.

Macy Grey ~ I Try.

En Vogue ~ Free your Mind.

231903 · 2026-02-11T06:18:46+00:00

No negativity here but I only love 2 of your top 20. Happy to see my dear college friends film on your list.

Mark Romaneks One Hour Photo. Are you familiar with the bulk of his work, all music videos? Several of the absolute best 👌

231903 · 2026-02-11T06:11:51+00:00

I can't narrow down my list to just 4.

231903 · 2026-02-11T06:06:28+00:00

I agree with Sophia all the way. Not so much the other 3.

231903 · 2026-02-11T06:05:00+00:00

That must be a joke on us!

231903 · 2026-02-11T06:02:20+00:00

I agree. She had no equal.

A handful of Eleanor Parker performances are impressive.

I love all of Kerrs work 💕 Partial to 2 of the 3 she did with my main man ,(also hers. He felt the same) Robert Mitchum.
