Good morning, all! I have an early meeting on the recording project that sends me out of the house soon. Right now I'm listening to Mr Gordon Lightfoot sing his beautiful "Song for a Winter's Night." Quite moving.
It's about time Mr Haines did another solo album. Having been present at the recording debut of the rather reclusive artist, I watch his recording news with great anticipation. Dear Friend BK, when Mr Haines lets us know what he's definitely doing, it might prompt some ideas for a few more songs.
Today's topic is the screenplay, so I won't include films I love like NASHVILLE and M*A*S*H since I believe their screenplays were only places to commence.
My first thought was DOUBLE INDEMNITY, but I believe that's Billy Wilder, and he's high on my list: THE APARTMENT, SOME LIKE IT HOT, NINOTCHKA, WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION are all quite wonderful.
I would agree with DRPanni about BREAKING AWAY, and I would add Dennis Potter's DREAMCHILD, a film I feel has yet to be discovered.
