Donnie is challenged this week to find a cinematographer he likes to watch and, man, did he pick a doozy!
The challenge was a movie with a song written specifically for that movie. Hall picks a movie with NINE songs written for it and a callback to his most important high school days!
A foreign-born director? So many to choose from. Donnie goes for a classic: Face/Off with Travolta and Cage.
The Challenge? Steve Zallian. The response? Gangs of New York. Can DeCaprio’s middling accent bring down Day Lewis’s extraordinary Bill the Butcher?

The Challenge? Firefighter movies. Really the only choice? 1991’s Backdraft.

The Challenge? Any noir from 1940 - 1959. Hall goes to the very edge with 1958’s Touch of Evil.

Donnie goes for a Big Swing with a Stacked Cast that improbably is a Great Movie: Con Air!
