Pic of the Day: “I fight against fascism. That is my trade.”

Pic of the Day: “I’m a concert pianist. That’s a pretentious way of saying I’m… unemployed at the moment.”

Pic of the Day: “Faith is a house with many rooms.” “But no room for doubt?” “Oh plenty, on every floor. Doubt is useful, it keeps faith a living thing. After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it is tested.”

Pic of the Day: “Nothing can lick Chicago!”

Pic of the Day: “The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.”


Pic of the Day: “I never even knew the dame.” “You know she’s been murdered, don’t you?” “Yeah. So was Julius Caesar. I didn’t know him either.”

 

 


Pic of the Day: “Jesus, I am so scared. I’ve spent twenty years building up my ego, and when I really need it, it locks itself in the john.” “It’ll come back to you, trust me.”

Pic of the Day: “I sold flowers; I didn’t sell myself. Now you’ve made a lady of me, I’m not fit to sell anything else.”


Pic of the Day: “You know what I remembered in my dream?” “No, what did you remember?” “I remembered when I was older.” “When you were older?” “Yes, you were also there, but you were different. Do you remember?”


Pic of the Day: “The other day, I cried. But you know what? Fuck that day. That’s why God, or whoever, makes other days.”

 


Pic of the Day: “Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire. You’re just going to have to make up your own mind one day about what’s right and wrong.”

 

 


Pic of the Day: “I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn’t the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.”

 


The Top Tens of the Decade Lists

We just finished an entire decade in film and I covered it all on this site. Of course this was going to happen.

What I did was go through the entire past decade and gathered my favorite films in a bunch of different categories: Songs, Performances, Directorial Efforts, Posters, Scores, Trailers, Documentaries, Animated Films, Animated Shorts, Hidden Gems, and then the big one — my Top 500 Films of the Decade.

There’s not going to be a lot of new information necessarily. If somehow you remember all of the lists I’ve put out each year, I’m sure 95% of the choices will be exactly the same. But I’m interested in seeing how I rate things when taken as an entire decade and not just a single year. Maybe my Top Ten for the decade will be half films from just 2015. I don’t know. I also wanna see how my opinions have changed over the decade. I endeavored to create each list totally fresh, going through everything I saw this past decade and considering it all as if I was making each list for the first time. My original lists were only consulted to make sure I didn’t exclude anything on them.

And, of course, like always, the real goal of this and most things I do on this site is to celebrate all the great movies that have come out and hopefully get people to find some things they never knew about or thought to watch before. If my lists give you even one movie you see and love and start showing to your friends, then they were a resounding success. (more…)


Pic of the Day: “The nicest thing about feeling happy is that you think you’ll never be unhappy again.” (35th Anniversary)

 


Pic of the Day: “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”

Pic of the Day: “There’ll be no locks or bolts between us, Mary Kate… except those in your own mercenary little heart!”


Pic of the Day: “I don’t want to sound foolish, but remember love is what brought you here. And if you’ve trusted love this far, don’t panic now. Trust it all the way.”

 


Pic of the Day: “You teach yourselves the law, but I train your minds. You come in here with a skull full of mush; you leave thinking like a lawyer.”

Pic of the Day: “I suppose we all have to grow old someday. I just don’t think you got to look bad in the process.”


Pic of the Day: “It goes on forever, six bloody minutes!” “I pity your wife if you think six minutes is forever.”

 

 


Pic of the Day: “I’ve been thinking. Tomorrow it will be 28 years to the day that I’ve been in the service. 28 years in peace and war. I don’t suppose I’ve been at home more than 10 months in all that time. Still, it’s been a good life. I loved India. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. But there are times… when suddenly you realize you’re nearer the end than the beginning. And you wonder, you ask yourself, what the sum total of your life represents. What difference your being there at any time made to anything – or if it made any difference at all, really. Particularly in comparison with other men’s careers. I don’t know whether that kind of thinking’s very healthy, but I must admit I’ve had some thoughts on those lines from time to time. But tonight… tonight!”

 


Pic of the Day: “Tell you what… the truth is… sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.” (15th Anniversary)

 

 


Pic of the Day: “I was married, when I was young.” “Married? I had no idea!” “Neither did he!”

 


Pic of the Day: “What is your daughter doing?” “She’s kickin’ ass, that’s what she’s doing.”
