Here's one everyone missed: Karen Carpenter.

Not only could she belt out a tune, but she did it in perfect pitch and a ridiculously large range. I don't think anyone is even close to her.

I wanted to like Megalopolis. I was hoping the bad reviews were just an unpopular opinion, but they weren't. I watched the whole thing, but I didn't want to. I think FF Coppola has lost his mind to put so much into it and that is the result? Such a long way from the Godfather.

No it is not historically accurate in all details, but then again it does not claim to be. It is entertainment and it does very well at that.

It seems like looking for redeeming values from the Cowboys, is like looking for redeeming values from the Tangerine Tyrant. Everything they do is to benefit them, and don't get in their way.

Small bit of trivia: Maddie Earp is buried in a small desert graveyard just outside the town of Superior Arizona. I wonder what she would think of her part in this western soap opera.

The author knows about the Clap On commercials. The point is that it is a lazy and unfunny joke to actually say it, while just clapping and the light coming on is trusting that the audience gets it. Do they need to say bang before shooting a gun?

The "dumbing down" of movies has been going on for decades. I would venture a guess that 95% of movies made are basically unwatchable. Movie making has become lazy, new ideas are far and few and actual smart movies are even fewer. The percentage goes down significantly for scifi movies. For every Arrival or Interstellar there are hundreds of straight to video garbage. Even Dune, which is an excellent movie is rehashed and known material. How many times do they have to remake The Willy Wonka before they it that the Gene Wilder version is always going to be the best? Don't even get me started on comic book superhero movies. Ugh.

The best 2 movies on this list are No Country and 3 Burials. It's not a coincidence that Tommy Lee Jones is a big part of both of them. I really didn't like The Will Be Blood as I find much of what Daniel Day Lewis does is profoundly overacted and this one is no exception. Not all, but much.

I've seen most of these and I can attest that they are very, very good with a couple, Fargo and No Country being, in my opinion, 2 of the top 10 movies ever made. Also I would like to say, A Touch Of Evil is light years better than Welles more famous and tragically overrated film, Citizen Kane.

2 honorable mentions on this list are Wind River and Hell Or High Water. If you have not seen these 2, you must.

One not on this list is a little movie by first time director Tommy Lee Jones called The 3 Burials of Melquiades Estrada. It is a bit slow paced, but very rich in character development.

I like all of these of course, but to me Seth Bullock in Deadwood stands out. I find his portrayal to be realistic in that his moral com was at time skewed. He also knew when live to fight another day. Totally realistic because it is based on a real person.

I'm not much of a DDL fan, but Mohicans was a very, very good movie. Lewis did not overact the role like he so often does. Plus the story is an excellent example of early American literature. Also noteworthy is the realistic depiction of Native Americans. Not like the usual racist depictions in John Wayne movies.

This is a good Western series if you can stomach the violence and gore. Both of which is plentiful in every single episode. The violence is as in your face as I have ever seen. It is in every episode and no one is exempt. The gore may not be as far as Bone Tomahawk, but it isn't far off. One character survives scalping and you are treated to a festering wound the rest of the series.

The male characters are one dimensional. The 2 main female characters are a bit more interesting in that you definitely see an evolution in their characters.

I am currently in the middle of the last episode so I don't know all of what happens. I had to stop watching when the wife came home, it is that violent.

It is important to note that this is a fictional using some real characters. While much is exaggerated, the actions in general of Brigham Young and the Mormons is well documented in history. But in reality, pretty much all religion has it's messy history.

Connie could have been the best, later, in part III, she was depicted as smart, ruthless, determined, and she was family. What disqualifies her rating as the best is that she spent the first 2 movies being an impulsive, entitled and selfish louse and she hated Michael. I didn't read the book so I know nothing of Genco and Clemenza was running his own arm of the family. Tom was the best because he was so even headed. Michael didn't need a yes man in that position and Tom knew that when the Don made a decision, he would carry it out. He never faltered, even if Michael didn't see him as a wartime consigliere.

It is astounding. 5 movies. 5 Best Picture noms. 3 wins.

Why no acting noms? Because he was a character actor. He was never a leading man. His characters were always a bit challenged and of course he did not have leading man looks. But a fine actor because you believed him in every scene.
