STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WATCH THIS. Jean-Paul Belmondo did this incredibly hazardous stunt himself, which is both fucking amazing and fucking terrifying at the same time.

Steve Perry's wonderful solo album "Street Talk" is 40 years old in 2024. If you were around when this dropped you doubtless heard the opening strains of "Oh Sherrie" coming from radios and passing cars everywhere, an ode to Perry's then-girlfriend Sherrie Swofford.

One of the main reasons why "The Larry Sanders Show" worked at such an insanely high level was Rip Torn's channeling of everything he learned in the business into one brutal, cynical, and realistic package. RIP, my hero. 3/3

I'll be damned, but Michael Mann's original version of "Heat," 1989's "L.A. Takedown," features an nearly-verbatim precursor to the De Niro/Pacino coffee scene which is still awesome even with these two randos.

You got to understand the moment Treat Williams hit the scene -- he was a sensation in "Hair," and working with Sidney Lumet later put him at the top of the pile. Maybe he never got as big as he could have been, but he was still a champ.

They may be speaking the subtext into text, but Gere and Oscar-winner Lou Gossett Jr. are excellent in this famous scene from Taylor Hackford's "An Officer and a Gentleman" (1982). It's worth revisiting the wallpaper from my youth to see what's still there today.
