"A Face In the Crowd" is on TCM tonight at 8ET. If you haven't seen it and want to know what the "Lonesome Rhodes" Beck thing is about. It's pretty brilliant, both on its own merits, and as one of KO's most effective long-range metaphors.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Also, a great performance by Patricia Neal (and Andy Griffith).

The music in that is particularly awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From io9:
25 classic science fiction movies that everybody must watch
Methodology: We looked at a few different criteria, including overall cinematic excellence. We wanted to include films that were important to the development of the genre, and which had helped to raise the overall level of awesomeness in science fiction films. We also wanted to represent as many different types of films as possible. And we looked for films that had an original concept, or which were the first of their kind in some way.
But most of all, we looked for films that would represent science fiction well to a new audience and totally rock a neophyte's brain.
I've seen 22 of the 25.
