Okay... Two questions:
1. Miracle Mile? Really? I mean, it's great and all, but top ten worthy... I don't know. I don't know if Anthony Edwards deserves a top 10.
2. What is so "sleek" about Los Angeles Plays Itself? I would say dark, even sarcastic...
1. Somehow, the movie managed to overcome both Anthony Edwards AND Mare Winningham. Maybe Top 10 is an overreach but I wanted to put something in there unlike all the other movies I tend to like. I wanted to acknowledge that not all paranoid apocalyptic thrillers were bad.
2. Sleek? I was thinking about the architecture in many of the clips. The downtown skyscrapers... the houses in the hills.
