That movie is quite strange.

The Night of the Hunter is an American classic. I love the way the B&W is shot. It's Charles Laughton's only movie that he directed.

It's a little strange. Ahead of its time. Plot elements similar to All the King's Men, with kind of Coen-esque techniques.
Captures a lot of important mid-century themes from urbanization to the growing power of mass media and populist appeals.

Andy Griffith will always be Andy Taylor to everybody but I wish we'd gotten to see him do more before he got the show, very underrated actor.

The tagline of "A Face in the Crowd" according to IMDb:
"POWER! He loved it! He took it raw in big gulpfuls...he liked the taste, the way it mixed with the bourbon and the sin in his blood!"
That...that just might be the single greatest tagline in the history of cinema.

A Face In the Crowd is a very underrated movie. Andy Griffith is great in it

I watched a short YouTube video on this the other day called "The Dark Side of Andy Griffith" been interested in seeing it ever since. As a matter of fact I was going to start a thread about it on here to ask the M/TV if they had seen it and get some opinions on it.

It's Griffith's beat acting performance ever... By a mile. Dude should've gotten an Oscar nomination. He was a Legitimately terrifying figure by the end of the movie after he had been corrupted and wrangled by media attention and power.
Without A Face In The Crowd, Network does not exist. It set the template.
Everyone should see the film.

A Face in the Crowd, Network, and Albert Brooks' Real Life are possibly the three most prophetic movies ever having to do with television.
When they each came out, they were considered to be high fiction.

I never watched it, though I should. The only movie I recall seeing Andy Griffith in was "Rustler's Rhapsody" (my wife's father is a huge fan) and I thought he was really not at the height of his acting powers in that. He came across as too...actorly, if you know what I mean. But it wasn't a dramatic role -- he was called upon to ham it up.

I still haven't seen this but the Simpsons parody used to scare me as a kid.

Rustler's Rhapsody is a favorite from my childhood and nobody ever knows what I'm talking about when I bring it up, awesome movie.

I quite enjoyed it. Definitely on the list of "How come I'd never heard of it before?" when my father-in-law insisted we watch it with him. I wonder if part of the problem is that, like "Young Frankenstein", it becomes exponentially funnier if you're familiar with the source material it's parodying? Both are funny in their own right, but both are chock-full of jokes that reference some very specific moments in older films. Westerns and Western tropes aren't as familiar to people nowadays as they would have been in the '80s.

Arright, so I watched Westworld. I can see why the film was largely forgotten. Great concept, weak cast and weak execution.
