(NOTE: Inspired by the Oscars, I've decided that, once a week, I'm going to try to share a movie that has made a significant impact on me. If nothing else, this will expose you to some of my idiosyncrasies.)
I was in Enid, Oklahoma, with a group from school. We had a free afternoon, and went to see They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
I'll never forget the line. Or the despair.
Viewing "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" is like rubbernecking a horrific traffic accident, or watching a train wreck. The images, no matter how painful, are too disturbing to turn away. This movie documents the depression era pathos by showing us a glimpse of a group of dance-marathon contestants battling it out for a winner-take-all purse. Their lives become symbolic of their efforts in the marathon: inexorable pain, constant cramping, and a constant questioning of just "why live in all this misery?" ... The film is stunning in capturing the simple struggle of humanity; it's a must-see, but only once!!!- Review by Joe Wade Smith

There is a correlation between this movie and "American Idol" early rounds but it might be just too damn early in the morning for me to put in words....using the humiliation of humans as entertainment perhaps? I think this was the time that I started to develop crushes on many of Fonda's leading men including Sarrazin, Redford, and of course John Phillip Law.
A spellbinding and exhausing Pollack masterpiece.
Gig Young's oscar-winning swan song - by then he had become an archetype. Screenplays were known to have described lead male characters with words like "a young Gig Young".
on my list now!!! wow...
