Hm, Phillip Lopate says Kael, Sarris, Farber, Ferguson, & Agee are the five great US film critics. None of the them wrote for daily papers.
@benschwartzy Actually, I'd probably strike Sarris & Ferguson from the list, maybe add Warshow, Nora Ephron, or James Baldwin.

@HeerJeet I'd fire Agee first. You can't say Ford's best movie was THEY WERE EXPENDABLE (and then only give that a "meh") and stay there.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet Ferguson STAYS. Sarris goes - huge impact, obviously, but in a bad way, and way off on Hawks and Wilder. -
@benschwartzy Sarris only belong by influence but he wasn't a good writer. Ferguson was fine writer rarely went into depth about movies.
