Burt Reynolds' Smokey and the Bandit Adored by Top Directors

Oliver Stone's 'Wall Street' is a complex film that critiques corporate greed while also exploring themes of conscience and family values, making it a unique entry in cinema history as the only film to win both an Oscar and a Razzie. The film's legacy continues with Stone's sequel, 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps', though it did not achieve the same acclaim as its predecessor. Roger Ebert praised Alfred Hitchcock's 'Notorious' for its intricate portrayal of romance and espionage, showcasing Hitchcock's mastery of light and shadow in pre-color cinema. The film features Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in a narrative that intertwines personal and political conflicts. Meanwhile, Mark Wahlberg's new film 'Flight Risk' raises questions about the portrayal of bald characters in cinema, highlighting a trend where baldness is often associated with villainy, contrasting the traditional hero image. Lastly, Paul Newman expressed deep admiration for director John Huston, noting how Huston's directing style left him tongue-tied and inspired during the filming of 'The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean'.
