February Poll ! Bogdonavich Edition (Patreon)

Greetings! Seems that Bogdonavich won the first round of polling to a landslide and so here are 3 of his movies that we might talk about this month, depending on you!

Paper Moon
In the midwest, during the latter part of the Great Depression, con man Ryan O’Neal (Barry Lyndon) meets up with a young girl (Tatum O’Neal, Ryan’s real life daughter) and they become unlikely business partners. Delightful road movie with gorgeous black and white photography by Laszlo Kovacs. Tatum O’Neal became the youngest Oscar winner of all time when she won Best Supporting Actress for this film.  

The Last Picture Show Two high school seniors navigate their way into adulthood in a tiny dying oil town in North Texas. The title comes from the town’s sole movie theater, where the two occasionally go to escape the trials and tribulations of life.  

What’s Up Doc? Four identical overnight bags are unwittingly switched in a hotel, leading to hijinks. Bogdonavich’s throwback to the screwball comedies of the 30s and 40s, starring Barbra Streisand, Ryan O’Neal, and Kenneth Mars, and Madeline Kahn.
