OFCS Picks Top 100 First Films

What do Orson Welles, David Lynch, John Huston, Charles Laughton, Quentin Tarantino and Sidney Lumet have in common? Of course, they are all extraordinary filmmakers. But now their first feature films have been named by OFCS (Online Film Critics’ Society) to a list of the Top 100 First Films of All Time. In fact, movies from these directors made it into the top ten.

This new Top 100 list has been published on the OFCS web site, so check out the link below to find out if any of your favorite directors are among the honorees.

San Diego Benefit Screening

The San Diego Film Critics Society (SDFCS) is presenting a benefit screening of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival Jury Prize Award-nominated film Douchebag on October 19. Proceeds from this benefit will go to the group’s educational fund for scholarships. Lead actors Andrew Dickler and Ben York Jones -- plus the filmmakers --are planning to attend and to participate in a Q/A session at this event, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Landmark’s Hillcrest Cinemas. A ten-dollar per ticket donation is requested.

I haven't seen Douchebag yet, but noted film critic Leonard Maltin calls it “smart, surprising and funny!” He claims that “Hollywood could learn a few lessons from this indie sleeper.”

The film follows two long estranged brothers who embark on an eventful journey before one of them gets married. Their riotous road trip starts out as one kind of search (for an old flame) and ends up as another more important one.
