This evening's viewing distraction: The Conversation, Coppola's fascinating muse on the Watergate era intrigues, with an amazing performance from the late Gene Hackman. (it's on the BBC iPlayer should anyone else want to watch it)

We watched The French Connection last night. I hadn’t watched it in years. But knowing it won best best picture, best directing, best actor, best writing, and best film editing, I had to remind myself what it was up against.

And it was up against some pretty good films.

All-time movie favorites include "The Royal Tenenbaums," featuring the recently deceased #GeneHackman. Going to watch it again this coming weekend. #LetterboxdFriday

Four movie posters are displayed in a grid format. From left to right: "The Matrix," featuring characters in dark attire; "The Royal Tenenbaums," showcasing an ensemble cast in a quirky, family-oriented scene; "Call Me by Your Name” and ‘The Dark Knight”, with the ‘Heath Ledger’s’ Joker holding a automatic weapon.
