2 February is a pivotal day in meteorological science .
Nicol Sorenson-Legakis reminds me that it’s that day of the year when I need to remind you of the greatest movie ever made. I know my duty, so here’s something from a blog entry that I first wrote several years ago:
And I’m not the only one who thinks so:
“A Movie for All Time,” by Jonah Goldberg
Of course, that’s not denying that there are some other good ones out there, like Das Leben der Anderen and the original Manchurian Candidate.
But . . . well, they can’t all be winners.
Incidentally, I like The Manchurian Candidate even apart from the scene where Angela Lansbury’s character gets shot. That part just makes it even better.
I can’t account for my wholly irrational dislike of Angela Lansbury. By all accounts, she’s a very talented lady, and extraordinarily nice. But there you have it.
I also enjoy the scene in Titanic where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character dies. From my perspective, it’s the movie’s high point.
Does anybody know of a film in which Hugh Grant bites the dust? That would complete a perfect trifecta, in my view.
