William Hurt as Macon Leary. Tragedy still looms over Macon and Sarah Leary a year after the sudden, violent death of their 12-year-old son. The introspective Macon (William Hurt), never one to express his feelings easily, has built a cocoon around his pain. With no emotional support, the still gri read more

Albert Finney as Arthur. Saturday Night and Sunday Morning is one of the many working-class social dramas that proliferated throughout British cinema during the late 1950s and the 1960s. These films were inspired, in part, by the "angry young men" genre that began with John Osborne's 1956 stage pla read more

It's a nifty, though misleading, poster. In his book The Detective in Film, William K. Everson touts Green for Danger (1946) as one of the three best detective films ever made (the others being The Maltese Falcon and The Kennel Murder Case). I not only concur, but will add that it may be the b read more

A little devil provides bad advice! 1. Champagne for Caesar (1950). It's a shame that Vincent Price didn't make more straight comedies because he's hilarious as a business tycoon in this underrated gem.

One of the first spy spoofs in the wake of Goldfinger (1964), The Liquidator stars Rod Taylor as Boysie Oakes, a reluctant secret agent--or assassin, to be more precise.

Rod Taylor as a mercenary. This 1968 Rod Taylor action picture can count Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino among its admirers.

Dirk Bogarde...as Jose? British filmmakers practically cornered the market on quiet, personal dramas in the 1950s.
