True Romance is one of the only times Quentin Tarantino wrote a film but didn’t direct it. The result? A masterful film directed by Tony Scott. Who’s to say that won’t be the case again in a few weeks? Tarantino put the keys in David Fincher’s hands this time, a director equally as reliable as the late, great Tony Scott. I’m excited.

Brian De Palma’s execution of tension in the 1976 classic CARRIE is unmatched. By pushing this scene to its absolute emotional peak, he leaves the audience completely hooked for the impending chaos. 🎞️

Tom Skerritt as the monster of the week, a satanic politician, with Darren McGavin in a 1974 episode of KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER. RIP Tom Skerritt

Sometime in 1983, in the northwest Valley, an unknown prankster altered the "Valley Cir" sign (for Valley Circle Boulevard) to read "Valley Girl" -- a playful reference to the newly released movie of the same name. Like, omigod!

All the President's Men lost the Academy Award for Best Picture to Rocky at the 49th Academy Awards in 1977. This also includes a field of Best Picture nominees that included Network & Taxi Driver. It’s just one snapshot of how loaded the ‘70s was with timeless Cinema. Do not ask me to relitigate 1977 Oscar race. I can’t do it. I won’t do it. All four of these films are perfect masterpieces.

Few examples of LA's uniquely wonderful architecture them have been on the scale of the Moorish Revival Shrine Auditorium at 665 W. Jefferson Blvd. It opened in 1926, which is when this photo was taken from the parking lot across Royal St.
