#NowPassingOutTo: My Scorsese binge ensues, continuing with perhaps his most brutal, and hence most beatific movie. Which is actually sayin’ somethin’. Haven’t seen this slice of unhappy in maybe 15 years. Let’s go a few rounds.

#DontOvercookIt
#LARRY!
Gonna do a revisit of old NYC flicks from my youth. Just to remind me why I fell in love with this place to begin with. #NowPassingOutTo Stuart Rosenberg’s THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. Chahlie, how was I wrong?
#NowPassingOutTo Alan Parker’s feature film debut, 1976’s BUGSY MALONE. The man who feared no genre began with a gangster flick. A musical. That only starred kids. Playing grown-ups. With cream pie bullets. You can’t invent this stuff. Courtesy of the @criterionchannl.
Overjoyed to revive my #NowPassingOutTo hashtag to celebrate the miraculous new @criterionchannl! This night’s/dawn’s selection? Joseph H. Lewis’ SO DARK THE NIGHT, part of the Columbia Noir series. Won’t make me forget @FilmStruck, but it’s a start.
#NowPassingOutTo Sidney Lumet’s sole epic, 1981’s PRINCE OF THE CITY. Spanning decades, involving dozens of characters and multiple locales, Mah Boy Sid takes us on a sprawling journey of redemption, as a corrupt cop slowly loses his soul in order to save it. G’nite.
#NowPassingOutTo the Eighth Wonder of the World. On the very streaming service that counts as the Ninth. Thank you @FilmStruck. These last weeks will be bittersweet indeed, but I will be with you to the end, standing alongside atop the tower. My thanks.
#NowPassingOutTo Ernst Lubitsch’s immortal, mercurial love story, 1940’s THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER. James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan portray co-workers who loathe each other’s company, & also pen pals who pine for each other’s companionship. Courtesy of @FilmStruck.
#NowPassingOutTo Wellman’s template version of A STAR IS BORN. It had a single iteration prior, and now it’s 3,419th remake will screen its digital 1’s &0’s, but this was the version that cemented the fable as Hollywood lore in more ways than onscreen. Courtesy of @FilmStruck
#NowPassingOutTo William A. Wellman’s Technicolor screwball classic NOTHING SACRED, featuring the only non-monochrome perf from the luminous, riotous, infectious Carole Lombard, perhaps the genre’s queen! But how does it end?!?!? Courtesy of @FilmStruck.
#NowPassingOutTo what might be perhaps my fave creation from one of my recently passed heroes; 1975’s THE SUNSHINE BOYS, penned by the ineluctable game-changer, Neil Simon. You made the world a better stage, sir. Courtesy of @FilmStruck.
#NowPassingOutTo William A. Wellman’s bleak but defiant tale of lost citizens of the Great Depression, 1933’s WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD. Two teens take to the road during the crisis to spare their parents the burden, and learn hard & fast how to survive. Courtesy of @FilmStruck.
#NowPassingOutTo Rick Moranis & Dave Thomas’ STRANGE BREW from 1983. The pair are still well-known for their alter egos of Bob & Doug Mackenzie. And while this film didn’t exactly soar on arrival, Hosehead still flies. Courtesy of @FilmStruck.
#NowPassingOutTo Jacques Tourneur’s template Film Noir, the standard, I argue, which all others must meet: 1947’s OUT OF THE PAST. The genre has survived many permutations, baroque, absurd, yet I maintain to all who inquire, this is the yardstick. Courtesy of @FilmStruck
#NowPassingOutTo Roy Del Ruth’s BLONDE CRAZY, featuring James Cagney on the heels of his iconic breakout perf in Wellman’s THE PUBLIC ENEMY. The film re-teamed him with his fellow Broadway vet Joan Blondell. Unseen by these eyes til now, and courtesy once again of @FilmStruck!
#NowPassingOutTo Steve Gordon’s insanely popular 1981 comedy ARTHUR, starring Dudley Moore & Liza Minnelli as a rich pampered liquored playboy and a blue collar street savvy NYC broad who fall hopelessly in love with each other. Who played which role again? @FilmStruck
#NowPassingOutTo Gordon Parks’ insanely influential SHAFT from 1971! The film, alongside Van Peebles’ SWEET SWEETBACK’S BAADASSSSSS SONG, is pretty much responsible for the entire Blaxploitation genre/movement of the 70’s. Courtesy of @FilmStruck!
#NowPassingOutTo Robert Benton’s THE LATE SHOW. Art Carney, a then-recent Oscar winner for HARRY & TONTO, portrays a semi-retired private eye lured back into the game by his ex-partner’s death and a new client, one cat-less Lily Tomlin. Courtesy of @FilmStruck! #HucklebuckPI
In celebration of the great #HowardHawks’ birthday, I’m #NowPassingOutTo his template screwball comedy, 1938’s BRINGING UP BABY! Grant’s meek prof finds himself caught in the slowly building level 5 hurricane that is Hep’s Susan Vance. And then...
Courtesy of @FilmStruck
#NowPassingOutTo Clarence Brown’s POSSESSED, from 1931. Joan Crawford’s ambitious factory girl passes herself off to Clark Gable’s wealthy lawyer as a socialite divorcée, in hopes of rising out of her impoverishment. What could go wrong? Courtesy of @FilmStruck.
#NowPassingOutTo Victor Fleming’s 1933 BOMBSHELL, the smash screwball flick that gifted star Jean Harlow her permanent monicker, preceded by the word BLONDE. Might be her most iconic role. Happy to revisit, and grateful that @FilmStruck has chosen her as the Star of the Week!
