Happy birthday to Salma Hayek, star of From Dusk Till Dawn, a fun but forgettable vampire movie (with a historically awful acting performance by its screenwriter Quentin Tarantino) made memorable by Ms. Hayek’s turn as a stripper named Santanico Pandemonium. The scene in which she dances with an 11-foot python at a strip club called The Titty Twister inspired Hack to include it on his list of the 10 greatest films ever made.

Hack watched The Maltese Falcon again last night and got so excited that he wrote this. We begged him not to.
