Read MoreAlong with Wes Craven (August 2, 1939 - August 30, 2015) who died just two years ago and the more recent loss of George Romero (February 4, 1940 - July 16, 2017), horror fans now mourn the loss of yet another master filmmaker who excelled in the genre: writer, director, producer, and actor Tobe Hooper (January 25, 1943 - August 26, 2017) who has died at age 74.

Sterling Silver Dialogue From The Movies:
Do you know where they're from?
Special Film Noir Edition
"I can be framed easier than 'Whistler's Mother'.
"Those gates only open three times: when you come in, when you've served your time, or when you're dead."
"Is he dead?"
(response) "He was dead for a long time... He just didn't know it."
"Wanna drink?"
(response) "I never drink. You're very nervous."
(reply) "That's because I've never been killed before."
"Do you fall in love with all of your clients?"
(response) "Only the ones in skirts."
"Mr. Campbell, as long as we're on this little jaunt together, you and I are going to stick so close together, we could wear the same pair of suspenders."
"I saw the two of you, the way you were looking at each other tonight, like a couple of wild animals. Almost scared me."
(response) "It should. He's a man."
"Charles, at times your charm wears dangerously thin. Right now it's so thin I can see through it."
"You know a dame with a rod is like a guy with a knitting needle."
"Besides, Joe couldn't find a prayer in the Bible."
"You're no good and neither am I. That's why we deserve each other."
"It's a dirty job but I pay clean money for it."
"Experience has taught me never to trust a policeman. Just when you think one's all right, he turns legit."
"A policeman's job is only easy in a police state."
"Come on, read my future for me."
(response) "You haven't got any."
(reply) "Hmm... What do you mean?"
(response) "Your future's all used up."
"Why should the Falls drag me down here at 5 o'clock in the morning? To show me how big they are and how small I am? To remind me they can get along without any help? All right, so they've proved it. But why not? They've had ten thousand years to get independent. What's so wonderful about that? I suppose I could too, only it might take a little more time."

Read MoreNormally, our contemporary film contributor Renard N. Bansale reviews recent releases and he may, in fact, critique the following motion picture at some point. Occasionally, I am able to overcome a reluctance to venture out and attend a locally screened film, especially when it's the "talk of the town" or "talk of the internet" to be more precise. I've been bombarded with so much buzz about Dunkirk, I felt like a chainsaw, and therefore it became that rare film I was compelled to see and share my thoughts on. Please feel free to leave your thoughts about the film and/or my review here in the comments section. (A.G.)

Read MoreThe purpose of this list is not to give a critical lambasting to what a great number of viewers consider to be cinematic treasures. What I would like to provide my readers with is an alternative and admittedly more critical perspective to consider, one that hopefully will not detract from a person's appreciation for the films under review. At the same time, I'd question whether these motion pictures really deserve the high accolades bestowed upon them by many in the critical community. Perhaps it's like this: instead of "The emperor has no clothes," I'm saying "He's not quite as well dressed." (For a further introduction on this subject please see: Top Ten “All that Glitters…”: The Overrated Part 1.)
These notices are meant for viewers familiar with the following motion pictures.
