The Big Sleep1946 Dir. Howard HawksGrade: A+
The Big Sleep1946 Dir. Howard Hawks...The kind of movie to show people who think all black and white movies are old, boring and worthless...
(Interesting factoid: screenplay was written by William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett (largely forgotten now, but a quite popular female SF writer in the 1940s and 1950s) and Jules Furthman (on him, I got nothin'))
Big FishIt's the one that got away.

He worked on a lot of classic films by Howard Hawks and Josef von Sternberg.

I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
