Re: AFI 100 Years Series Discussion & Challenges, vol. 2
You can’t have him.
Says Ted Kramer (Dustin Hoffman) to his estranged wife (Meryl Streep) in Kramer vs. Kramer a movie that caused much discussion around the table at dinner parties back in the day. And there is plenty to recommend the movie, Hoffman and Streep but two, plus some very good cinematography. But in the end, Ted Kramer’s journey from work-obsessed father and husband to obsessed father has less depth than the novel of the same name.
Worth watching for the reasons above, but if the subject interests you, read the book.

Re: AFI 100 Years Series Discussion & Challenges, vol. 2
Do you like to gamble, Eddie? Gamble money on pool games?
Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) asks of Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) in The Hustler a brilliant view not really of pool, but of the makeup of a man, his character and the difference between winning and losing. Both Newman and Gleason are outstanding and Piper Laurie as the sort-of girlfriend and George C. Scott as the consummate, cold professional, living off the skills and weaknesses of others, make for a stellar supporting cast. All this coupled with cinematography that accentuates the down and out pool halls and rented rooms, resulting in a masterpiece.
