Talk about going out on a high note! Bil Antoniou picks the top ten "final films" in the latest edition of The Classics Shelf with films like The Dead and Red among memorable swan songs.
That Shelf salutes the career of Anjelica Huston by surveying her films like The Dead, The Grifters, Prizzi's Honor, The Addams Family, and Enemies, A Love Story.
Surveying the films of one of Hollywood's greatest directors, John Huston, in Criterion Channel's collection devoted to his work, including The Dead, Moby Dick, The African Queen, and Key Largo.
Not much of anything romantic on DVD this Valentine's Day (unless you count the family dynamic in the brilliant Take Shelter), but there are a pair of decent horror films, a drunken Johnny Depp, Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones arguing in a room for 90 minutes, and some pretty great philosophical discussions. Something for everyone! Except romantics.
