So David Mamet's art is bad now that he has different political views than you? There's a word for that — bigotry.

Also, David Mamet will always be a genius in my book , regardless of his political ties and his mental state. I can watch House of Games ( plus Glengarry Glen Ross & The Verdict ) everyday.

Grifters ( John Cusack deserved an Oscar nomination . ) and Fish Called Wanda ( still makes me laugh out loud ) never received the love that they deserved because they both still hold up today .

Glad to see F for Fake receive a mention. Though, as to not spoil the film's surprising conclusion, I would recommend removing the specific mention of its so-called "hour of truth". I know I bring this disclaimer early on, but it is not my intention to have the audience count their clocks waiting for the first lie. The idea was that the viewer would get too caught up in the stories of Elmyr and Mr. Irving to notice whether what they were seeing was true. It is hard for a magician to do their work if the audience can see in his sleeves.
That it is about the nature of trickery and forgery in art, alone, merits its inclusion on the list.
Now with that said, I thank you for bringing light to my little film.

Yours Ever,
Orson

Strange that you'd mention "Criminal," without acknowledging that it's a remake of one of the films already on your list ("Nine Queens").
