Milos Forman's vastly underrated Man on the Moon opened OTD 1999. Jim Carrey's spectacular performance(s) resonate(s) long after the credits roll.

Clintus and Siegelini

OTD, 1971: Dirty Harry opens. Director Don Siegel and star Clint Eastwood's franchise-starting "antihero" sets the tone for a decade in which fellow big hitters Beatty, Hackman, Nicholson, Hoffman, Newman, and Redford play amoral protagonists who rarely settle things in typical Hollywood style.
