RIP to a guy who not only made some great films, but also gave us a couple of Nicholson's very best performances!

Head is a deep cut favorite of mine. Very much my sense of humor and a spot on analysis of being trapped by fame. Plus the main theme is easily the best thing the Monkees ever recorded and maybe like a top ten song of the 60's for me, at least if I'm limiting it to one per artist to keep it from being like 8 Beatles songs.

RIP to a terrific director.
This year has been pretty bad for deaths of film industry legends, but we are losing the majority of them to old age, which is to be expected.

One of the more forgotten New Hollywood masters. Made some great movies with Jack Nicholson, and Mountains of the Moon is an underrated historical adventure film. RIP!

RIP. What a fascinating, somewhat now overlooked figure of New Hollywood and otherwise. He literally casted The Monkees....he created them! As a director... Five Easy Pieces and Marvin Gardens are essential, bleak, beautifully profound, really great movies. He also helped produce in one way or another: Easy Rider, The Last Picture Show, The Mother and the Whore, Days of Heaven, etc.
