TODAY’S THE LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR OUR 100th MOVIE!
What should be the 100th movie inducted into Movie Valhalla? You decide!
EVE’S BAYOU (1997)
This is a drama with an all-Black cast, set deep in Louisiana. I wanted to like it more than I actually did.
THE FRENCH CONNECTION (1971)
The car chase is justly famous, but these days its cops with a “shoot first ask questions later” attitude are extremely hard to root for.
GOLDENEYE (1995)
James Bond plows into the modern era by blowing up the Arecibo Telescope a quarter century early.
CHINATOWN (1974)
The definitive neo-noir, a movie I love, now inextricably linked with the crimes of its director.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968)
This tiny indie movie found the right metaphor for basically all of modern society’s fears and single-handedly spawned a major subgenre that’s lasted until today.
