gotten out of the habit - so recently queued 3 old movies. Working from Time's best 100 list I chose

Be sure to give us reviews on the last two. And by "us", I mean "me". I'm curious about those.

Aguirre is very good. IIRC, it's one of ghostrunner's favorite films.

the last 2 are fantastic.. "out of the past" is the definition of "noir"

[The Third Man]

Out of the Past is amazing.

Waltz with Bashir- Highly recommended. Very unique artistic concept with extremely well-done animation.

I really looked forward to seeing this at the Tivoli, really enjoyed the first 1/3 then fell asleep. I blame a late night at work.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Academy Awards are doubling the number of best-picture nominees from five to 10.

Academy President Sid Ganis said at a news conference that the academy's board of governors made the decision to expand the slate. Ganis said the decision will open the field up to more worthy films for the top prize at Hollywood's biggest party.

The change takes effect with next year' Oscars on March 7.

The move is a return to Oscar traditions of the 1930s and '40s, when 10 nominees were common.

Right. Because there are so many worthy candidates out there every year.

Ugh.

Last year was a very good year for movies and even then, I can't name 10 candidates that would've been worthy.
