*We've also highlighted the 50 Best Films of the Decade (2000-2009), according to critics, filmmakers, programmers, et al. as polled by Film Comment last fall. Does 'Mulholland Drive' deserve the #1 spot, or perhaps 'In the Mood for Love'? How do the brothers Coen match up against les freres Dardennes? Debate your friends & neighbors!

RIP Dennis Hopper :( We've collected his films atop our recommended wall. I suggest 1962's noiry mermaid rendez-vous at Santa Monica pier, 'Night Tide' (with a nice commentary from Dennis, too). Whatever you do, keep him fondly in your thoughts with a Pabst Blue Ribbon & not a Heineken, eh?




In Dreams,

your intrepid Pierrot
