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…

“They don’t make movies like this any more”, as my dad would say. This is much more a character study than it is a movie about pool. Newman is “Fast Eddie”, a rambling pool shark who is pitted against “Minesota Fats” (Jackie Gleason), and side-kicked with the straight-up gambler “Bert” played by … |

“Introducing Warren Beatty” reads the opening credits, reason enough to watch this overwrought high school movie. The legendary womanizer shot out of the gates a bona fide heartthrob – the richest boy in town, captain of the football team, and nice guy to boot. Natalie Wood matches him in to-di…

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…
