Over the last two weeks I saw four movies, two this week, two the week before. Code Name: Emerald boasts an impressive cast, with Ed Harris as the hero, a young Eric Stoltz as the American soldier he is trying to save, and Max von Sydow, Horst Bucholz and Helmet Berger as the trio of German official...

If ever there were a Best Actress do-over for 1999, I'd hope Fernanda Montenegro would get the statuette over Goopy Gwyneth Paltrow.

To be fair to Paltrow, she isn't selling New Age kitsch in Shakespeare in Love. I'd nominate her before Montenegro.

I know we're stuck with the list, but another one I'd try to find room for is George Cukor's Les Girls (1957), with some spectacular Jack Cole staging of the musical numbers. In the same way as Funny Face it's a great example of what's now called "mid-century modern" style and design. It ...

This might just be the last highly entertaining musical of the American studio-era.

How does one define "American studio era"?

And what if we had to include two of the Academy's choices? Picture: Babe, Sense and Sensitivity Actor: Cage, Penn. Cage might now win, given that he won in reality Actress: Thompson, no change S. Actor: Cromwell, no change S. Actress: Sorvino, Allen. I suspect Sorvino might win. She did win in real...

Is there a reason why TCM doesn't show Damn Yankees or L'il Abner?

Now it's 1971. Here are the Academy's choices:

Fiddler on the Roof
The French Connection
The Last Picture Show
Nicholas and Alexandra
Summer of '42

And here are my choices:

Death in Venice
McCabe and Mrs. Miller
The Last Picture Show
A Clockwork Orange
Walkabout
