Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles
Gimme Three is a love letter to one of the most powerful mediums of artistic expression - a love letter to the films that moved us and the great experiences we've had watching them.
In each episode, hosts Nicholas Ybarra and Bella Efstratis (and frequent special guests) will pick three incredible movies based on a selected theme.
Through fun banter and passionate analysis, the Gimme Three podcast aims to get people back to the theater and expand their watch lists, one listener at a time.
Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles
48 - Maggie Smith Tribute
Last month, the film industry lost one of the most prolific actresses in history, Dame Maggie Smith.
With a stage and screen career that spanned seven decades, it was nearly impossible to pick only three films to highlight Maggie Smith's outstanding career, but we did our best.
- We start with Maggie Smith's Academy Award Winning performance as the enigmatic school teacher in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
- We switch gears with one of the most revered comedies of the 1990s, where Smith dons a habit in Sister Act.
- Finally, we discuss how tremendous she is in an ensemble piece in her Academy Award-nominated performance in Robert Altman's Gosford Park.
Obviously, these three films are just scratching the surface of Dame Maggie Smith's career, so please let us know your favorite performance.
