Philip Marlowe, Private Eye Collection
Goldhill Home Media, 2004
Best Marlowe EVER
+ hard-boiled fan
+ Original Tough Guy
I was watching my old tapes of this series last night. I taped it off HBO, and loved it. The tapes are worn and stretched, so I thought I'd check to see if the series was available on DVD. God bless Goldhl!!
Powers Boothe is, without a doubt, the best Marlowe ever. Bogart was good, but he's more ...

The Maltese Falcon Three-Disc Special Edition (1941 & 1931 versions / Satan Met a Lady)
Bette Davis, Warren William
Warner Home Video, 2006
the stuff that dreams are made of!
+ The original 1931 version is really good, too!
This movie is inimitable.
Terse, convoluted, gritty, and satirical. The scenes of this movie pack a visceral punch rarely matched in classic Hollywood movies.
The plot is confusing, if not incomprehensible at times. However, the basics are pretty straightforward. Sam Spade is a private eye ...
