(1956) MAN FROM DEL RIO - Harry Horner Every generation thinks they invented sex and lyrical, world-weary genre deconstruction. This was terrific. Favorite Anthony Quinn performance?

(1955) WE'RE NO ANGELS - Michael Curtiz All this time I thought the Neil Jordan/David Mamet film was a remake of this one.

(1954) THE GOOD DIE YOUNG - Lewis Gilbert Some favorite noir tropes here -men with limited imagination trapped inside the narrow confines of their ideas of masculinity easily manipulated by women and other men into dumb desperate plans to reverse their fortunes -charming psychopaths -grubby deaths

(1953) RHINE VIRGIN - Gilles Grangier Love the river barge stuff. Everything on boats and in canals is terrific. Been getting all the Jean Gabin I can.

Jedidiah Ayres @maybejed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

(1950) WOMAN IN HIDING - Michael Gordon Ida Lupino getting over on a piece of shit abusive, gold-digging husband is a winning proposition to begin with. Extra points for stairs, trains and industrial site climax.

used a few unconfirmed anecdotes about the guy

Jedidiah Ayres @maybejed.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

James Coburn - dark horse Peckinpah company MVP candidate... especially for the stories of him alternately being a bulldog in Sam's corner against philistine producers and loudly calling Peckinah out on his bullshit

Jedidiah Ayres @maybejed.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

(1949) THE WALLS OF MALAPAGA - René Clément Jean Gabin in a fugitive, doomed-love story, a failed-redemption story, directed by Clément? This is my kind of bitter sugar

(1948) THE RETURN OF THE WHISTLER - D. Ross Lederman The Whistler returned, but William Castle did not (though he did direct four of the eight films in the series). All pretty light-weight suspense... milage may vary, but I don't wish there were more

Just found this pic of 21yr old Jed still cutting his own hair because he won't pay anyone else to do it about to try electric clippers for the first time... ...and the results

(1947) THE UNSUSPECTED - Michael Curtiz Honestly, I lost the plot (my fault), but it still wins on vibes. Great to look at!

(1946) ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER - Archie Mayo Starts with a bang and all the time in Hell is so great and Claude Rains as Satan is so much fun, but it eventually runs out if steam as Paul Muni becomes a good guy. Oh well, great first act.

(1945) A GAME OF DEATH - Robert Wise Umpteenth variation on THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME I watched this year. Wise productions look good, but not enough to make me prefer it to the 1932 version

Jedidiah Ayres @maybejed.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Not many recommendations from Simon Baker's body of work, but he did supporting roles in good adaptations of novels by three of my favorite authors- Daniel Woodrell's WOE TO LIVE ON (adapted as RIDE WITH THE DEVIL), James Ellroy's L.A. CONFIDENTIAL and Jim Thompson's THE KILLER INSIDE ME not nothin
