actors generally don’t know how to use their bodies anymore, just their faces. Chaning is different. Nobody moves like this guy, he’s like sexy buster keaton and his dance friends are like the sexy three stooges. in addition to its many artistic merits, this film is also the best depiction of the low key but oft-ignored homoeroticism that permeates male friendships

Watching Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant in their heyday

I've long loved learning about old Hollywood, but admittedly haven't watched many films from the time in full. But now im amending that and these 2 are just so darn charming it's crazy! Because they starred in movies of the 30s 40s etc their characters can really be such awful fucking guys, (and ones the audience is still supposed to root for somehow) and yet! Everytime I'll still find myself enjoying their performances! I like how rhythm, timing and gesture are so fundamental to their style of acting. It's incredibly fun to watch them use their bodies so purposefully. Such obvious attention to detail/the musicality of movement is completely absent from our naturalism-obsessed age. (s/o to Willem Defoe for going against this grain! Also to any actors who aren't waspy, and tho also following naturalism, still gesticulate like most people actually do irl lol)

MICKEY ROURKE

Honorable mention. If you’ve hung out with me the past year or so, he’s my favorite topic. A fellow virgo, my acting inspiration and exercise guru lol In all sincerity, I find his work groundbreaking at times. The quintessential post-Pacino, James Dean renaissance leading man/character actor of his time. Do yaself a favor, Go watch Pope of Greenwich Village (1985) , Barfly (1987) and soak it in. I think they are both free on Y*utube 👀

The movies of Mike Nichols

I'm blown away by how natural and relevant they feel. Especially in his early work, (who's afraid of Virginia Woolf, carnal knowledge, the graduate) he explores the human condition through subtle intimacies and conversations that reveal incredible depths of his characters.
