James Caan is gone at 82, leaving behind a catchphrase (bada bing), a stellar 1970s run, and performances that are more thoughtful — and often more tender — than you may remember.
In “The Phantom of the Open,” the great Mark Rylance sinks his choppers into the role of Maurice Flitcroft, a British shipyard worker who briefly held the title of the world’s worst golfer. Plus a few Netflix recommendations if you’re stuck for something to do this weekend.
