If this were a miniseries, it would be the finale – Episode 8 of a continuing narrative that began in 2009. So watch with a sense of completion, as well as possible apprehension about the quality of the sequel. President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address is televised live by ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and PBS, as well as the expected cable news outlets.

This 1967 movie, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the infamous Depression-era bank robbers, was one of the most notorious, influential, and interesting films of that year – and 1967, in movie terms, was a very, very good year. If you haven’t seen it in a while, or at all, now’s a wonderful time to dive in.
