Newmark's Door

Article from 1997 New Yorker. I had read a fair amount about the difficulties Coppola had in getting Godfather made, but this piece has some stories I hadn't seen before.

Just because I like it.

Above average for lists of this type.

Next month will be the 35th anniversary of the release of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, one of the most inventive movies I've ever seen. But it's weird.

Some good ones on this list. (I make it a tie for first place between Kareem and Bill Murray.)

I liked No Country for Old Men, but I confess I didn't really understand it. This helps some. (9 minute video.)
