RIP Tom Stoppard, among many other things the writer on BRAZIL who came up with the Tuttle/Buttle angle, which gave the film its spine. Plus if he wrote every line in LAST CRUSADE he's the one to thank for "I should have mailed it to the Marx Brothers." www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/ar...
Tom Stoppard, Cerebral Storyteller for Stage and Screen, Dies at 88
The British playwright won acclaim for 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,' 'The Real Thing' and 'Leopoldstadt' and received an Oscar for 'Shakespeare in Love.'

That Elaine May film with Dakota Johnson, whatever it was.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

At least we don't have to worry about Lalo Schifrin tarnishing his legacy by being involved in RUSH HOUR 4.

Putting aside how that Variety list is bait, calling it 'Best Comedy Movies' and not 'Funniest Movies' is doing a lot of work but doesn't include THE APARTMENT. Still, points for the surprisingly high placement of things like THE NUTTY PROFESOR, LOST IN AMERICA, MASH and THE HEARTBREAK KID.

Watched the end of De Palma’s OBSESSION and thought of this story that editor Paul Hirsch tells in his book about Bernard Herrmann during the mix of the film.
