The Unavoidable Mr. Ripley
In the past, including the very recent past, I have exhorted all of you to see Ripley's Game, out on DVD now but never theatrically released in the US. I have argued that the failure to release it theatrically deserves to rank among the greatest blunders in Hollywood history (quite an achievement) and that this was not only a decent film that deserved a passing glance, but a tremendous one that deserves a serious look. Lest you think that this is irrational exuberance on my part, no less a luminary than Roger Ebert has now named it to his highly selective list of the best films of all time.
