    <![CDATA[<p>Is Richard E. Grant's Withnail a &quot;far superior&quot; screen drunk to Jimmy Stewart in <em>Harvey</em>? What are the Top Ten movies for making cigarettes look cool? Do good films ever win the Oscar? What is film's most tragic farewell, greatest opening-credit sequence, grisliest murder, loosest screen adaptation, most gratuitous use of sex and violence? How do you make a great movie without a movie camera? And why do Robert De Niro's characters behave so badly to women?</p>  <p>Born of the cinéphile's well-known love of lists, penchant for argument, and obsession with minutiae, TEN BAD DATES WITH DE NIRO is a symposium and celebration of viewing pleasures, private passions, and cinematic lost causes.     Contributors to this smart and provocative collection of out-of-the-box Top Tens include a fine cast of leading critics, filmmakers, and writers ranging from Steven Soderbergh and the Coen brothers to Andrew O'Hagan and D.B.C.

    <![CDATA[<p>Is Richard E. Grant's Withnail a &quot;far superior&quot; screen drunk to Jimmy Stewart in <em>Harvey</em>? What are the Top Ten movies for making cigarettes look cool? Do good films ever win the Oscar? What is film's most tragic farewell, greatest opening-credit sequence, grisliest murder, loosest screen adaptation, most gratuitous use of sex and violence? How do you make a great movie without a movie camera? And why do Robert De Niro's characters behave so badly to women?</p>  <p>Born of the cinéphile's well-known love of lists, penchant for argument, and obsession with minutiae, TEN BAD DATES WITH DE NIRO is a symposium and celebration of viewing pleasures, private passions, and cinematic lost causes.     Contributors to this smart and provocative collection of out-of-the-box Top Tens include a fine cast of leading critics, filmmakers, and writers ranging from Steven Soderbergh and the Coen brothers to Andrew O'Hagan and D.B.C. Pierre.</p>    Includes:<br/>  <strong>*  Ten Films to Avoid on Medication (or Within Reach of a Cutlery Drawer)</strong> by D.B.C. Pierre<br/> <strong>*  Ten Dodgiest Decisions of the Cannes Film Festival</strong> by Kieron Corless and Chris Darke<br/> <strong>*  Ten Great Films Which Defy Genre</strong> by David Hare<br/> <strong>*  Ten Films We'd Like to See Remade</strong> by the Coen brothers]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Is Richard E. Grant's Withnail a &quot;far superior&quot; screen drunk to Jimmy Stewart in <em>Harvey</em>? What are the Top Ten movies for making cigarettes look cool? Do good films ever win the Oscar? What is film's most tragic farewell, greatest opening-credit sequence, grisliest murder, loosest screen adaptation, most gratuitous use of sex and violence? How do you make a great movie without a movie camera? And why do Robert De Niro's characters behave so badly to women?</p>  <p>Born of the cinéphile's well-known love of lists, penchant for argument, and obsession with minutiae, TEN BAD DATES WITH DE NIRO is a symposium and celebration of viewing pleasures, private passions, and cinematic lost causes.
