"A number of our blogging friends have picked up the Alphabetical Favorites meme. The idea is that you list 26 favorite movies, one for each letter of the alphabet. Some people are adding comments, but I think it’s more interesting to just toss the titles out there, to see how they fit together within a single list and how they match up to other lists. Also, it’s been a hell of a week and I’m exhausted. I will say this: after not being able to think of a single movie beginning with the letter “J” that I enjoy more than Joe Versus the Volcano, I noticed that several commenters at the House Next Door had slotted the same film in the same face. So much for Todd McCarthy’s contention in his Doubt review that John Patrick Shanley’s first directorial effort was “misguided.” So! My list is after the jump. < "

"The Long Goodbye is a decent noirish flick, but there are sooooooo many other titles out there I'd recommend first. The only reason I watched this is the luxury of fast-turnaround Blockbuster Online DVDs. The highlight for me was Henry Gibson. That guy makes any movie watchable, even if he's only onscreen 5 minutes. "

"Despite the fact I think his three most respected films (M*A*S*H, McCabe and Mrs. Miller and Nashville) are vastly overrated, my respect for Robert Altman has increased. I loved A Prarie Home Companion and enjoyed this 70's update of film noir. Elliot Gould plays Raymond Chandler's signature decective, Phillip Marlowe (who was famously essayed by Bogart in The Big Sleep). Although I have not read the novel, I have a feeling it's relitivley faithful to the book, as an awful lot is compacted into a film that is slightly shorter than two hours. Marlowe is arrested by the police for suspicion of murder after the wife of his close friend Harry (David Arkin) is found dead. He is released when it is revealed that the friend killed his wife and commited suicide. Marlowe doesn't beleive Harry is guilty and sets out clear his name, but has to take another case first in order to make money. This case involves a mentally disturbed novelist (Sterling Hayden in a performance apparently base ... "

"The Hollywood duplex in which Elliot Gould’s Phillip Marlowe lived in Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye is for sale––and with its balconies, tower elevator, hilltop view and undeniable cinephile cred, its asking price of $875,000 looks unbelievably attractive to those of us jaded by New York’s impossible real estate market. You can watch a virtual tour of the property in its current state, set to what I can only assume is the soundtrack lifted from a masterpiece of new age erotica, here. For comparison, I’ve embedded the opening scene of The Long Goodbye above. Via This Recording. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » karina "
