I can't say that because most of his movies didn't quite "work" for me. But Night of the Living Dead, even with it's low budget, obvious makeup effects, and bad acting, was a benchmark movie that pushed the limits of it's era and changed the horror film genre in several ways. To this day it's one of my favorites movies.
Hall of Fame baseball broadcaster Bob Wolff has died at the age of 96. An active broadcaster since 1939, Wolff is best remembered for his thirteen-year tenure as the voice of the Washington Senators, a woebegone franchise which forced him to become a first-class broadcaster simply because nobody would have wanted to listen otherwise. Wolff broadcast for the Nats from 1947 to 1960, and followed the franchise to Minnesota in 1961. He only spent a single season in the Upper Midwest before heading to New York to take over the NBC Game Of The Week telecasts. He held that seat until he was replaced by Curt Gowdy in 1966, but remained in New York doing a wide range of sports including football, soccer, basketball, hockey, golf -- and the Westminster Dog Show, where he became something of an institution. Wolff broadcast three World Series on radio -- 1956, 1958, and 1961, and perhaps his single most famous call was the radio broadcast of Don Larsen's perfect game in 1956.
At the time of his death, Wolff was still an active broadcaster, and his 78 years behind the microphone stand as the all-time radio record.
