Yes, I should see "LW". I only saw the beginning of it. What about Asphalt, any commments on that one?
Taxi, I've not seen. Taxi Driver sure does have some noirish aspects. Funny how many more recent movies are noirish. I guess LA Confidential comes to mind. And, oh yes, one of my favorite Sci Fi's "Dark City", well, hey, "Blade Runner" is too for that matter. How about "Midnight in the Garden..." I didn't see it, but my wife visited Savannah and commented on it.

  Well, this is another one to see! Have you seen Hayden in "The Killing"? Another great tough guy role.
  I think next week, I'll devote myself to just watching some of these old movies. Got to get out the Chandler books too.
  The Big Sleep. Chandler by way of Bogart and Bacall.
  - I will have to check out The Killing YECH 16:52:33 04/08/00 (2)

      I'm not sure if we have Turner Movie Classics on our cable. Does it have commercials interrupting?
      Out here in the wilderness, we're starving for some of these old videos, well, a very few of us, actually. There used to be a great video store in a city about 30 miles away, but, alas, they closed. They had every video imaginable, even foreign. I sometimes think I'd be in my element running a specialty video store. Trouble is around here, the folks are very short term oriented. If it's older than 2 o 3 years forget it. Foreign films---you gotta be kidding!
