Brothers and Sisters! Let us tell you the story of Love and Hate. H-A-T-E! It was with this left hand that old brother Cain struck the blow that laid his brother low. L-O-V-E! You see these fingers, dear hearts? The right hand, friends, the hand of love. Now watch, and we’ll show you the story of being a movie fan. Old brother left hand Hate’s a-fighting; there are many, many films that most folks hated and which have not, like other ignored-upon-release films, gone on to be cult classics. But wait a minute! Hot dog, Love's a winning! Yessirreee! It's Love that's won, and old left hand Hate is down for the count! For in this episode, brothers and sisters, Team Vintage Sand makes the case for why we love these films that just about everyone else hates. The nine films we’ve chosen to highlight could not be more different from one another. We reach all the way back to the 1940’s and come all the way up to a film released just four years ago. We range from well-known directors like Paul Schrader, Ang Lee, and Arthur Penn to solid directors like George Roy Hill, Mark Robson, and Lasse Hallström, to a couple of directors whose obscurity is well-earned or whose reputation is yet to be determined by time. So beat the drums, ‘cause here comes our last episode before a summer interlude! Lastly, join us in a moment of silence for the late Ted Turner, who in spite of colorization and his ownership of the Atlanta Braves is one of our heroes, for TCM is a treasure that never stops giving to film fanatics like us. As for the coming summer, here’s hoping that "Disclosure Day" is closer to "E.T." than to "A.I." , and that Nolan is somehow able to pull off "The Odyssey" (and that for once in a Nolan film, we can hear the dialogue over the music in the sound mix). Have a safe and peaceful break, and remember a great way to stay cool in the time of El Niño (both the weather phenomenon and the current political leadership ) is to go see movies in a real theater. Just saying…
