I scroll. Film fest producer and more: Sundance, Nantucket, Hamptons, Ptown, Tribeca. TCM is my best friend. I produced the Sondheim 90th B’day Concert.

@nxd1979 Agree about BFG. Tintin has its moments. I also think Hook and his last Indy movie are near the bottom of the barrel.

@winbalt Hawks, Hou, Lubitsch, Lang, Godard, Bresson, or Rossellini - all with films across many decades, some transitioning from silent to sound or from one “home” country to another, but all interesting for how time and personal/professional circumstances evolved their art.
