2 Down… 1033 to go…

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

So last night I watched 12 Angry Men. Great flick.

With a small cast (of, um… 12 guys, mostly), and a setting that rarely leaves a single room, Sidney Lumet created what might be the ultimate courtroom drama - in his first feature film!

Then I watched Duel.

With a small cast (of, um… 1 guy, mostly), and a setting that rarely leaves a single car, Steven Spielberg created what might be the ultimate chase movie - in his first feature film!

OK… Duel isn’t the “ultimate chase movie” - I think the chase scene in Ronin is still my favorite. But it’s a damn fine movie.

What’s next? I just noticed that DeepDiscountDVD is having a “buy one get one free” deal on some Criterion DVDs… gotta go!
