Soon after the execution, the killings start again, and they are very similar to Reese's style.I know this movie, frame by frame, but when I see it's on, on a Sunday afternoon, the rest of the day is shot. What do I care? Time is on my side, yes it is!

- DirectorMike NicholsStarsDustin HoffmanAnne BancroftKatharine RossA disillusioned college graduate finds himself torn between his older lover and her daughter.Loved the book and the movie. The movie added the word "plastics" and set it in an absolute time, which the book did not do. Both are classics, however.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesIn the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned.Anthony Burgess is one of my favorite authors, and Malcolm McDowell is one of my favorite actors.

Lyle Lovett was amazing, and Tom Waits showed up. How are you going to not watch that?
