There's a feature in Newsweek magazine in which an author or movie maker is asked to name five books or movies that influenced him/her. He/She is then asked which book or movie, upon revisiting, was disappointing.
We've just watched a movie, for the umpteenth time, that is possibly even better now than it was the first time we saw it. Anatomy of a Murder, made in 1959, an Otto Preminger production. It is a faithful adaptation of the wonderful novel by Robert Traver. Every actor in it gives a magnificent performance, and the movie was nominated for seven Academy Awards.
Watch this movie again, or don't miss a first viewing. Read the book - your library will have a copy.
What movies have you watched that stand up to watching again and again and again? I'd love to hear about some you liked (or hated).
And, with no connection, today's photo is of a Confederate Memorial at Shiloh Battlefield, Savannah, TN.

The Princess Bride and Hunt for Red October are two that I will stop and watch at any point in the movie if I run across them while channel surfing.
