I watched Blood Simple again just last week actually. Such an amazing debut by the boys- and well worthy of its place on a list like this.

Not even for the sake of James Dean?

Never mind … since you love me, I’ll say here in print that the list is perfect.

A little defense:

I didn’t include Giant for two reasons. One, I wanted to stay away from Westerns and the like because then the list grows impossible. And two, which you may need to sit down for, I don’t like Giant. At the very least, I don’t think it paints a very real picture of Texas anyway – not that a novelist from Michigan couldn’t get Texas right with research and an extended stay (which I don’t think Ferber did). It gives a sort of melodramatic view of life that non-Texans love to think of as “Texan”.

I may not dig Giant, but I still love you, Maggie.
