On the October calendar, a few films catch my eye.
October 13 - De Palma paired with Vertigo. This is part of a 4 day series with Vertigo screening each night and paired with a Brian De Palma film. On October 16, they screen Body Double which is my favorite De Palma film. Unfortunately, October 13 to 16 conflicts with the 2016 Mill Valley Film Festival (October 6 to 16).
October 19 - Jim Jarmusch double feature: Dead Man and Ghost Dog. Dead Man is my favorite Jarmusch film and Ghost Dog is the film by Jarmusch I most want to see. The full title of the film is Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.
October 23 - a Marlon Brando double feature. One-Eye Jacks (1961) is the only film for which he received a director's credit. I have not seen the film or at least, I don't remember seeing it. The Missouri Breaks (1976) was directed by Arthur Penn and pairs Mulholland Drive neighbors Jack Nicholson & Marlon Brando. A critical & commercial flop upon its release, I recall seeing the film 25 years ago and not being impressed. However, the film has received a reevaluation in intervening years and is viewed favorably by some.
