Still considered one of the best film shots in cinema history.

I don't really want more modern Hollywood remakes of classic movies, but I'd love to see cross-cultural remakes. Night of the Hunter could have the bare bones translate to any culture with a tradition of charismatic religious men and tough old ladies, so how would it have gone in Kyoto of the 1890s or Sicily of the 1920s, or any of the other many possibilities?

I keep drawing scenes from it, and at this point, I should just make TNOTH into an illuatrated storybook

[uncrownedjules]

I finally decided to check out an absolute classic in Night of the Hunter and holy fucking shit this is cinema. Movies like this are why we have the phrase "every frame a painting".

@thealmightyemprex @ariel-seagull-wings @themousefromfantasyland @piterelizabethdevries @princesssarisa @grctw there are different kinds of villains out there. You have your cool villains, your tragic villains, your sympathetic villains/antagonists. This list is comprised of villains who get under my skin in a very personal way. I see a pattern here - abusive parents and partners, manipulators whose control can come as much from words and reputation as outward acts of violence. Even the most overtly violent and obviously vile of them are enabled by their stations - the family patriarch, the cog in the imperialist machine, etc.

How successful would Harry Powell…
