I've never synched with Eddie Coyle, found it drab and miserable - which obviously, it is, on purpose! - but Mitchum's such a hopeless shmuck from start to finish, it's hard to feel much for the ending. (I may need to rewatch.)

Two great flavors of crime film... I do prefer Eddie Coyle's pessimistic/realistic outlook... obviously can see Mitchum coming off like an asshole in *any* movie but I love the old bastard in this one especially--ugh, that hockey game! Played beautifully. Not a bad way to die, either.

Macao not even fully Von Sternberg, right? Nicholas Ray finished it off, though it's more Sternberg in sensibility for sure.
I think of it as more of a Mitchum star vehicle than anything tho.

It's interesting to see which animated films they go with when that's one of their blind spots as far as their disc releases go. fantastic planet, watership down, some stop motion.
The Asphalt Jungle was the weakest film in that warner noir DVD set. (hard to compete with gun crazy and out of the past.) the huston i'm interested in seeing is The Dead which had a botched dvd release that was missing the first reel.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is probably the most hard-to-watch film I have ever attempted. I know others have surpassed its squirm quotient since 1986 but I haven't and don't want to see them.
