Why take out Shadows and Gloria? Gloria is one of his best. What is a "purist" Cassavetes film anyway?

John Cassavetes is in my opinion the voice of the silent generation. His natural and ultra realistic style of filmaking still holds up.

He was a riveting actor. There's nothing that he's been in that he isn't the person to watch. He's just fascinating to watch.

The Hays Code was set aside in J965 and, for a little while, it allowed for magnificent, vibrant, intriguing and unique films out of Hollyweird. Then, as with all things here, it all went to hell.

Good point about the dig at method acting. Most anyone with praise for Cassavetes will still turn around and claim the usual roster of method stars constitute the “greatest actors of all time,” in turn apparently missing what Cassavetes’s cinema shows us.

I never liked him as an actor - too nasally, smug, one-note, cavalier - but I appreciate his films.

Maybe because as an actor outside his own films, he’s mostly in terrible films (and knows it).

I had a crush on him in the Dirty Dozen. I was a teenager at the time and was crushed when he died at the end. I was too young to understand, the karma of the characters were resolved in the end.

No, he didn’t invent it. But it’s also sort of a given that experimental, non-narrative filmmakers already operated outside the system, and could do so as they see fit. Casabetes directed full length feature narrative films.
