I don't post here much since I don't watch many movies anymore, but I enjoy Dennis Hartley's recommendations via Digby's blog.

I think I've seen "The Night of the Hunter" but 50+ years ago. The nice thing about aging is everything old looks brand new....

I’d put something like The Big Sleep in its place if I could.
