Chinatown (1974) – Roman Polanski
[25-WR]
The right era. The right casting. The right script. What can I tell you, Roman? You’re right. When you’re right, you’re right, and you’re right.

The Shining (1980) – Movie Trailer
[25-WR]
What a trailer should be: it neither whores itself up nor talks down to the audience. Nothing’s revealed nor explained. No Jack Nicholson bait needed.
