Great movies-The Big Sleep and Beauty and the Beast

[blue_lotus13]

I've been a little nuts and haven't updated for either of these films. I thought the dialogue in The Big Sleep was great and I loved both Bogart and Bacall. Unfortunately, I'm not really one for caper movies and I did drift off a few times.

Last week I watched the Jean Cocteau version of Beauty and the Beast . I really enjoyed this film, except for the ending. The story is classic and the makeup definitely inspired the Disney version. I loved the fantastical elements of the film and saw how they have inspired a variety of different movies. I loved the darkness of this film.

Do you have the Criterion dvd of Beauty and the Beast, the one with the Philip Glass opera as an alternate audio track? It's well, well worth re-watching with the Glass score -- simply a sublime experience.
