BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

There’s not much to watch on TV tonight – but so long as one of my all-time favorite movies is being presented in prime time, uncut and uninterrupted and in widescreen, I’ve got no complaints. So sit back and watch screenwriter William Goldman and director George Roy Hill’s collaboration on a perfect Western, starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Katharine Ross. This fabulous film is now 50 years old. Fifty. But it still seems so fresh, so funny, and so endlessly quotable. “Bingo!” “Rules?” You just keep thinkin’ there, Butch…”

Here’s another movie that’s now 50 years old. And though it hasn’t aged as well as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (partly because it wasn’t a period piece to begin with), Medium Cool is very much a fascinating trapped-in-amber slice of its times. And in director Haskell Wexler’s 1969 movie, most of the background drama has to do with all the volatility surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Robert Forster stars, playing a TV camera operator covering the convention in Chicago.
