Le Mans

Le Mans is a classic for a reason. It’s unlike any car-racing movie I’ve ever seen… I think because it isn’t interested in the race itself so much as it is interested in the men doing the racing. Which is not to say that this isn’t a nail-biting race movie, because it still manages to be that. Lee H. Katzin's direction is brilliant.

What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice? (1969)

What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice? is sort of terrible. It's part of that hagsploitation subgenre of cinema begun with What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? But What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice? really lacks a lot of interest, and Geraldine Page seems actually to be trying to act, even though she should be leaning into the camp. This decision on page's part doesn't really work, but the real problem here is that Ruth Gordon – who had just won an Oscar for Rosemary's Baby really isn't given more to do.

While we're talking about things that are terrible, all of my friends made fun of me for talking about how attractive the young Robert Fuller was. And I guess he is sort of generic. But hey, I was doing my best to enjoy this movie, and Robert Fuller was the eye-candy.

Robert Fuller. What?
