Federico Fellini’s 8½ is self-referential in the extreme, as his fever-dream of a movie-about-the-making-of-a-movie parodies the self-indulgence of its maker. Nice work if you can get it. Still, it is a classic, widely acclaimed to be amongst the greatest and most influential movies of all …

Paul Newman wanted to be bad and got his wish with Hud. He plays a charismatic asshole, a user and abuser whose evil becomes increasingly evident as the movie rolls along. Three Oscars came in its wake, though King Cool himself had to be satisfied with just a nomination. Think Hud would’ve s…

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is the apotheosis of Kennedy-era Mad Men America. Was it ever on the show? Don’t recall. Coulda, shoulda. Blake Edwards opens his movie of Truman Capote’s novella on an empty Fifth Avenue, with Audrey Hepburn in a little black dress emerging at the only Tiffany’s in…
