What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Great Man from 1956 with José Ferrer, Dean Jagger, Keenan Wynn, Joanne Gilbert, Ed Wynn and Julie London Sometimes great movies hide in plain sight, as The Great Man does year after year.

High and Low a Japanese movie from 1963 It doesn't do it justice to simply call this incredible movie "film noir" as it has impressive elements of a crime drama, a psychological thriller, an ethical dialectic, and social commentary, with each taking center stage at times without any...- Fading Fast

How many times do you think Jimmy got slapped in the face? I was surprised that a few of the women admitted they went out willingly, even knowing the man was married. Why the heck would you say that in a newspaper, alongside your name and picture?- Fading Fast
