Rec'd on 📺 4/10: Watch anything good recently?
CHINATOWN (1974)
Not much to say without spoiling it but damn this movie was good. Jack Nicholson is charismatic as ever and this performance is up there with The Shining for me personally. Great writing, and the cinematography is beautiful.

I watched this for the first time recently too. It was great and I loved that score by Jerry Goldsmith

I'll be damned if this movie isn't STILL amazing all these decades later. Might be Jack's greatest performance to your point -- he just nails this character thoroughly. And the story is basically the roots/history of Los Angeles in one sitting. Maybe if they just could edit out the bit with Roman in it though? (ha)

MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI
some of my favorite movies ever were made by him in the 60s, absolute mood pieces. seen la notte (pictured) more times than I’d care to admit. the passenger with jack nicholson is also sublime.

The Conversation (1974)
Everyone talks about The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, and rightfully so, but The Conversation is masterful. Maybe my favorite Gene Hackman performance. He’s often such a BIG character but his restraint here offers so much quiet vulnerability. Also, the score by David Shire is fantastic.
