There's nothing funny about it. But survival, and what it takes to survive, there can be humor in that.” -Rob Reiner, Director “I am…privy to many of the films that are released on a yearly basis about the Holocaust. I cannot think of one project that has taken the approach of THE LAST LAUGH. THE LAST LAUGH dispels the notion that there is nothing new to say or to reveal on the subject because this aspect of survival is one that very few have explored in print and no one that I know of has examined in a feature documentary.” -Richard Tank, Executive Director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center SHORT SYNOPSIS THE LAST LAUGH is a feature documentary about what is taboo for humor, seen through the lens of the Holocaust and other seemingly off-limits topics, in a society that prizes free speech.

Broadway Premiere of "8" Lifts Veil on Prop
Broadway Premiere of "8" Lifts Veil on Prop. 8 Trial NEW YORK, July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) and Broadway Impact announced the Broadway premiere of "8", a play chronicling the historic trial in the federal legal challenge to California's Proposition 8, written by AFER Founding Board Member and Academy-Award winning writer Dustin Lance Black and directed by Tony Award-winning actor and director Joe Mantello. The production is an unprecedented account of the Federal District Court trial of Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the case filed by AFER to overturn Prop. 8, which eliminated the right to marry for gay and lesbian couples in California. Black, who penned the Academy-Award winning feature film "Milk," based "8" on the actual words of the trial transcripts, first-hand observations of the courtroom drama and interviews with the plaintiffs and their families. It is set to premiere at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York City on Monday, September 19, 2011 for an exclusive, one night only fundraiser to benefit AFER. High profile and award-winning actors will play the roles of the legal team, plaintiffs and witnesses for both sides of the historic Prop. 8 case. Casting for the all-star benefit will be announced soon. Following the New York debut on September 19, AFER and Broadway Impact will license "8" to schools and community organizations nationwide in order to spur action, dialogue and understanding. AFER and Broadway Impact will help produce these staged readings across the country, so that "8"will live on beyond its September premiere.

From “Discourses of Sobriety” to Deadpan Comedy: Christopher Guest’s Musical ... 1 From “Discourses of Sobriety” to Deadpan Comedy: Christopher Guest’s Musical Trilogy Charles Holdefer The idea was, “Wouldn’t it be fun to do a movie where people got this right for a change?” Harry Shearer, aka bass player “Derek Smalls” of Spinal Tap (Muir 2004: 25) 1 The entertainment industry has long been fascinated by the “truth” behind popular music. Indeed, the first feature length talking film, The Jazz Singer (Crosland 1927), starred Al Jolson as Jakie Rabinowitz, a young man struggling to reconcile his Jewish identity to his success at performing in blackface to white audiences. Since then, there has been an endless stream of movies about music. Some are explicitly biographical, with actors cast as iconic musicians: e.g., The Glenn Miller Story (Mann 1954), The Buddy Holly Story (Rash 1978), Ray (Hackford 2004), Walk the Line (Mangold 2005) and Bohemian Rhapsody (Singer 2018).

It started as a way to take my video store background, and create a SHAREABLE list of those go-to films that I recommend/would be happy to watch again (and again). now it’s well over one hundred. And I just thought of another a minute ago. They cover pretty much all genres. And hopefully vintages. Though it takes a while for something to become a classic. The categorizing symbols are something that I ‘borrowed’ from Neil French, and his: ‘cut! 100 greatest movie scenes’. But was granted permission. Thanks Neil. Though the icons are just rough guides. My opinions really. as Some of these films are too hard to pigeonhole. But they’re definitely worth watching. More than once. Enjoy. The SYMBOLS Emotion, Romance Humor, comedy SPORTS Shock, horror, ACTION, oddities Tension, suspense Music, choreography dialogue Great Acting/actors Great direction/director Great cinematography A beautiful Mind 2001 DIRECTOR: RON HOWARD NOTES: Fascinating story.

Feb. 5, 2019 TCM to Honor Beloved Actor & Comedian Billy Crystal With
Feb. 5, 2019 TCM to Honor Beloved Actor & Comedian Billy Crystal with Hand and Footprint Ceremony Celebration to Take Place April 12 During The 2019 TCM Classic Film Festival Turner Classic Movies (TCM) today announced it will honor iconic comedian, actor and author Billy Crystal with a hand and footprint ceremony at the world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX® in Hollywood during the tenth annual TCM Classic Film Festival on Friday, April 12. Crystal, a Tony Award® and six time Emmy® winner and Golden Globe® nominee, has had a remarkable career from starring in cinematic classics such as The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally… (1989), City Slickers (1991) in addition to hosting the Academy Awards nine times. “Billy Crystal has long been among the most versatile talents working in Hollywood. And I say “talent” because Billy is so much more than an actor. Trying to define his career into a signature role or moment feels futile. Is it his lead performance in When Harry Met Sally, the ensemble he led in City Slickers, or his scene-stealing supporting part as Miracle Max in The Princess Bride? Then again, it might be his prodigious resume of voice acting work or his consistently impressive work hosting the Academy Awards, which he’s done nine times (only Bob Hope has done it more). From Soap to Monsters, Inc. Crystal has emerged as one of the great story tellers of his generation – on the big screen, the small screen, and in front of a live audience,” said Ben Mankiewicz, TCM primetime anchor and official host of the TCM Classic Film Festival.
