Very interesting documentary on PBSwond about my favorite of all Hollywood studios. Just wondering: which are your favorite Warner Bros. films, stars, and directors? Also, how great was Animaniacs?

I wrote a bit about this in my blog. I loved every minute. Esp the pre-code movies. Baby Face, being my favorite. I worship Barbara Stanwyck. She could make you pull for her no matter what.

You probably will, as smart and informed as you are. I have no doubt.

Well, the chances are slim, but I'd love to work with them in some capacity. Maybe have the Clint Eastwood housekeeping deal. Produce my own stuff, but have a contract to have offices on the lot and my overhead paid for, with their getting right of first refusal and a certain number of projects in a certain number of years? It could be the best of both worlds. Anyway, I should mention some more of my favorite pieces from them: all the Batman movies (except for Batman and Robin, of course), The Searchers, The Public Enemy, White Heat, Casablanca, The Big Sleep], Strangers on a Train, Giant, Bonnie and Clyde, The Wild Bunch, A Clockwork Orange, Badlands, Mean Streets, pretty much every film they did in the 1970s, and they are the most consistent major studio today (although not quite the biggest or most prolific; Sony Pictures Entertainment makes a few more films, and they are close in terms of budget-per-picture).
