The Last Picture Show is a great film. Ben Johnson’s haunting performance amazes me every time I watch it.

Triumph Of The Will was a great film too. But I won’t go near it.

Love The Last Picture Show and particularly Ben Johnson's part in it. Of course I love just about anything written by Larry McMurtry.

What's Up Doc? is very good too, just about the only good thing Streisand ever did. But after that he seems to have lost his way.

My daughter gave me a movie book for Christmas, dealing with films set in New York over the last forty - fifty years. These new writer - directors, they work for years and years to produce art-house flicks that very people have even heard of and even fewer have seen. I wonder what Ford and Hawks would think of them? I mean those guys cranked out films per year, many of them masterpieces.

Regardless, RIP Peter Bogdanovich.
