never liked Brewster

Also Vincent & Theo and Prairie Home Companion were quite good iirc but it's been a while since I saw either.

Those six are his undying masterpieces. The rest is a great jumble of movies I like a great deal more than most (Popeye) and a great deal less than most (California Split).

Dr T and The Women much better on the rewatch. I'm not even sure why I thought it was middling back when it came out. That ending is insane!

You know, four slots on the ILX all-time 100 was a lot, but I still can't begrudge him the "honor." When he was on he was kind of the best American filmmaker ever.

Thank you for tooting the Company horn. It'll probably be another couple decades before that film finally gets its proper recognition.

The cutest James Franco ever was, and that's an accomplishment.

That was before he decided he wanted us to all know he wishes he were gay.

OC and Stiggs would make a good double bill with The Beach Bum. Both movies about self-styled rebels who are riding the wave like everyone else
