NEW LIST

I watched LAST CHRISTMAS with my daughter the other night and dug it even more this time, my new favorite Xmas movie. Woke up the next morning with a new list forming in my head. Surprisingly it wasn’t ten favorite Christmas movies but ten favorite (at one time) movies whose titles begin with the word “last” (or “the last”). Some, like THE LAST OF SHIELA can be very cringey, (John Ashbery recommended it to me back in the day, because it was written by Tony Perkins and Stephen Sondheim) or have lost their luster. So for what it's worth, here ’tis: 

LAST CHRISTMAS

THE LAST  DETAIL

THE LAST EMPEROR

LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN

THE LAST HURRAH

THE LAST OF SHIELA

THE LAST PICTURE SHOW

THE LAST SHOWGIRL

THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS

THE LAST WALTZ
