Have You Ever Seen10 Helmi 2020

Ordinary People

Are you ready for some grief? Well, the world is a terrible place run by terrible tyrants, so probably. Let's try this again. Are you ready to hear us yammer on about people who are too stilted to deal with their grief? The Next 182 Project ordinaries up its people and argues that Mary Tyler Moore's neglectful mom character just has an inability to communicate and show emotion. Those are some bad flaws, but they don't make her a villain. She—like Donald Sutherland's Calvin and Oscar-winner Timothy Hutton's Conrad—is just broken by a family tragedy. Empathy, people! Robert Redford's imperfect, but heartfelt movie is all about that. Anyway, Raging Bull is the classic that most people remember from 1980, but this 40-year-old winner of Best Picture remains very fine in a completely different way. Quiet flick, big impact. Hit it!

Well, Actually…: Color Of Night was the only movie Richard Rush directed after The Stunt Man and it did indeed "score" him a Razzie nomination. Also, Bev's right that Pachelbel's Canon is popular music for the bridal march because it's also in the great I Love You, Man.

Sparkplug Coffee probably can't keep a shattered family together, but they DO offer a one-time 20% discount if you kindly use our promo code ("top100project") when you head to the check-out.

Later tonight, look for our Oscars Post-View as we rehash the delightful Parasite upset. Next Monday, we do some more chatting about a past winner of Best Picture as we analyze Spotlight.

The King And I

June started on this podcast with a fast-cutting musical in Moulin Rouge. Now I end the month talking about an old-school Technicolor song-and-dancer...and it was an award-winning mega-smash. The King...

Airport

The podcast rulebook says you have to cover a plane movie for episode #747, so I went with the daddy of the '70s disaster craze. The planes are 707s in Airport, but oh well. George Seaton writes & dir...

The Last Laugh

F.W. Murnau didn't live long enough to direct a huge slate of films, but the man bullhorning The Last Laugh also has Nosferatu, Faust and Sunrise on his resume. Like those, The Last Laugh is a silent ...

Only The Lonely

The key word is charming in the 745th edition of Have You Ever Seen. Only The Lonely has John Candy playing a single Chicago cop who lives with his widowed mother (Maureen O'Hara). He's an extroverted...

The Rock

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Wel...

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...

My Darling Clementine & Gunfight & Tombstone

I put a jaunty bow on Heroes Month with another multi-movie episode. For #742, I'm mostly talking about John Ford's My Darling Clementine, but there's a bit at the end about John Sturges' Gunfight At ...

Black Hawk Down & Battleground

Since it's Memorial Day, I'm tipping a cap to veterans. And I've got another doubleheader in episode #741, with the bulk of the show devoted to Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down (where American soldiers ...
