Fast Eddie

That's right, I bought The Hustler special edition dvd yesteray. What really put the icing on the dvd cake, though, is the Leonard Maltin blurb on the front cover, "Newman is Outstanding." Whoa!! Whats that?!? Quite a bold critical stance there Lenny. Personally, I had no idea Newman could act and was enlightened by Maltin's wisdom. I only hope he has the courage and insight to provide Brando with a similar quote on the Streetcar dvd.

But watching The Hustler again brought to my attention the fact that my top ten is probably due for another re-working, its been a good year since the last time I've done so. I may just have to make room for The Hustler and McCabe & Mrs. Miller, on second thought, I better see what Maltin thinks of Warren Beatty's performance before I make any hasty changes. Anyway, sometime in the next month or so, I'll probably publish a revised top ten favorites of all time list.
