"For me, this was the peak. I love Dangerous as well, but Bad feels more like a coherent body of work. You can feel the superstardom of the guy; he's at the top of the game. But still there is some weirdness: a song like "Speed Demon" is really weird. It came along with a whole film, Moonwalker. You get that the guy is now trying to recreate everything—defying gravity with "Smooth Criminal," and inventing shapeshifting ways of existing with the movie."

"It’s probably as relevant today as it was at the time–maybe more so–about how anybody who’s got an opinion can become a big deal, and how dangerous that can be to them and the public. Made by a great filmmaker [Elia] Kazan, Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal were terrific in it. That last scene when he’s standing on the balcony with his applause machine yelling Patricia Neal’s name, oh man. It’s a very hard-hitting movie; I never got over it."

"Few films have ever satiated my appetite for an experience of pure cinema the way Cul-de-sac did the first night I watched it. It’s a film that doesn’t strictly belong to any one genre but dances between thriller, psychological horror, and comedy. One of my favorite actors, the hugely undervalued Donald Pleasence, turns in a career-best performance as a highly pedantic, sexually frustrated, oddball English husband, while his fiery young French wife is played with dangerous irresistibility by Françoise Dorléac."
