The 20 Greatest Jack Lemmon Roles, Ranked William Lovelace/Getty Images By R. R. Fletcher/April 8, 2022 7:53 pm EST If anyone deserves to be called a Hollywood legend, it’s Jack Lemmon.

The Kids Controversy Explained: Contentious Child’s Play Shining Excalibur Films By Natalia Keogan/Jan. 12, 2022 11:57 am EST When your films are as esoterically titled as “Gummo,” “Julien Donkey-Boy” and “Trash Humpers,” there’s bound to be a messed-up filmmaking origin story lurking in your early adulthood. For transgressive auteur Harmony Korine, this certainly proves true. Before he would go on to helm the neon-soaked “Spring Breakers” or the slacker cinematic classic “The Beach Bum,” Korine’s first venture was a script which “honestly” (and crudely) portrays the delinquent and depraved behavior of NYC teens, a faction that the 19-year-old Korine was enmeshed in at the time....

It’s a movie in which Hannibal Lecter, one of the greatest screen villains of all time (played by Anthony Hopkins, who won a best actor Oscar for the role), bites and bludgeons guards before stringing one of them up like a death’s-head moth and smuggling himself out of the building wearing another’s skinned face....
