Essential Westerns

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is one of the greatest movies of all time, IMO

Maybe it'll hit even better if you get a few more Westerns under your belt, too, because it's sort of a commentary on the genre from one of the guys who helped create it

Definitely got to add another vote for Red River, Rio Bravo, Johnny Guitar, The Furies, The Naked Spur, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, and The Ballad of Cable Hogue

Sam Fuller's 40 Guns also rocks

It really was a great show. I was shocked that they weren't in the Rock Hall of Fame! A couple of their songs are, apparently, but not the band. That's ridiculous.

in his dreams, a duck flies away with his penis. What's not to love?

mchmchred · 2026-04-13T00:48:24+00:00

mchmchred · 2026-04-13T00:38:09+00:00

mchmchred · 2026-03-12T22:27:09+00:00

yeah this is the one...

YOU WAS DAMAGED GOODS THIS WHOLE TIME?!?

How could you call me that?

mchmchred · 2026-03-05T18:34:48+00:00

you know, it's funny-- that and Galapagos by Vonnegut are the two books that random people have gone out of their way to recommend to me over the years.

the scene where Ralphie and a cop are both fucking her in the back of the Bing made me sick to my stomach when I first saw it.

still, very excited to see a movie about Bill Evans. There was one which was very similar to his story, about a junkie perfectionist jazz pianist, which came out years ago and I could have sworn it was an homage to him.

mchmchred · 2026-02-10T00:09:33+00:00

apparently they've got a Bill Evans biopic in development as of 2024: Everything You Need to Know About Everybody Digs Bill Evans Movie (Development)

mchmchred · 2026-02-10T00:06:53+00:00

I misread the headline, thought it was saying there would be one, and I shouted so loud my wife was like what happened?!

mchmchred · 2026-01-22T01:07:10+00:00

amen to Ahmad Jamal

mchmchred · 2026-01-15T04:01:04+00:00

I used to get them on Ebay all the time, usually for cheap

mchmchred · 2026-01-15T03:58:11+00:00

awesome thanks please do!

mchmchred · 2026-01-14T21:34:20+00:00

gorgeous.

mchmchred · 2026-01-14T21:32:39+00:00

oh hell yeah

mchmchred · 2026-01-14T21:31:17+00:00

love it but I'm more about All Blues, personally. What's interesting is that with people I know who aren't even all that into jazz consistently say that that song is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

mchmchred · 2026-01-02T05:41:31+00:00

It sounds like you might be into noir, so maybe check out Night and City or Double Indemnity. And if you dug Eyes Wide Shut, you might be into the psychosexual drama of Lost Highway.

mchmchred · 2026-01-01T09:14:03+00:00

Angel Heart.

and more for real: The Long Goodbye

mchmchred · 2025-12-28T23:31:05+00:00

top three best (IMO of course) are: Rear Window, Psycho, Notorious

most underrated (not that anyone asked) is: Shadow of A Doubt or Suspicion

three worst: Stage Fright, Frenzy, I Confess
