Yeah, I know. No one needed this any more than they needed my list of Top 10 Kate Bush songs. But here it is anyway. A few thoughts first. I think of art rockâas opposed to the larger category of prog rockâas a fusion of styles. It is rock and classical, with a touch of jazz
The Best Films of Rex Harrison
I think of Rex Harrison as one of the great actors, yet âgreatâ is not a word I use with his most famous films. Doctor Dolittle, Anna and the King of Siam, The Agony and the Ecstasy, The Yellow Rolls-Royce, and Cleopatra are all fine, watchable flicks, but no masterpieces, and I normally donât even
The Best Films of Maureen OâHara

The Best Films of Humphrey Bogart
The Best Films of Bing Crosby
Some lists are hard. Some are easy. And some are pretty much repeats. This one is a repeat. Crosby was primarily a pop/swing/jazz singer. He parlayed that into success in film and TV, but it was always music first. He had enough charismaâand his own staff of writersâto become a solid comedian. His best films
The Best Films of Alfred Hitchcock
Normally my lists of the Best Films of the Great Directors will be top 10 lists, but for Hitchcock, I decided something more comprehensive was in order. He has plenty of masterpieces on his resume, but that doesnât mean he hasnât a few misfiresâquite a few actually. And a few real stinkers: FrenzyâŚWowâŚJustâŚWow. So in
