What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Santa Clause (1994) with Tim Allen, Judge Reinhold, Wendy Crewson, a bunch of actors of whom I have never heard, and Peter Boyle. First time ever for seeing this. The rest of the family has watched it for years. Allen undergoes sort of a Scrooge-like transformation from self-centered...- Julian Shellhammer

Hmmmm... the unmortified fussiness in me wants to point out that the original post might be understood as AHP91 and Barbara Stanwyck sitting down together to watch Christmas in Connecticut, made in 1945, but that's just uber-nit-picky. Ignore this comment. It's a heavy favorite in the Christmas...- Julian Shellhammer

The Shellhammer Christmas Read-a-thon got underway with (you guessed it) Merry Christmas, Mr. Baxter, by Edward Streeter, being read aloud to the Missus. Visiting once a year is the perfect timing: we can practically quote parts of the story. On my own it's the annual enjoyment of A Christmas...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Rancho Notorious (1952) starring Marlene Dietrich, Arthur Kennedy, and Mel Ferrer, under the direction of Fritz Lang. Wowsers, what a movie. Dietrich plays the world-weary Dietrich she does so well, and Kennedy is the nice guy driven by revenge; his fiancee is murdered by a rotten thug during a...- Julian Shellhammer

55 Days at Peking (1963) with Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, and David Niven top-billed. IMBD claims that several portions of the film were directed not by credited director Nicholas Ray, but also by Guy Green and Andrew Marton.

Browsing through the vast offerings of TCM, we find The Death Kiss (1933) with David Manners, Adrienne Ames, and Bela Lugosi. Ames is a star at a Hollywood movie studio, Manners is a studio writer, and Lugosi is the studio manager. Lugosi's appearance is sort of switcheroo since he has a small...- Julian Shellhammer

Blend three cups John Ford's cavalry trilogy, add one cup Vera Cruz, sprinkle with a hefty dash of proto- Wild Bunch, and , voila!, you have Major Dundee, Sam Peckinpah's revision of the Hollywood western. The version dvr'd off TCM was the "restored" two-hour plus cut, with Charlton Heston's...- Julian Shellhammer

Rounding up the movie watching here at Shellhammer Maison du Film, it was Four Wives, 1939's visit with Priscilla Lane, Rosemary Lane, Lola Lane, and Gale Page, whom we met in Four Daughters.

The Big House (1930) dir. George W. Hill, with Chester Morris, Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone, and many more. I've raved about this before, so I will avoid repletion and say it's an exceptional well-done film/movie with Hill's direction using the camera very well.- Julian Shellhammer

Remember, folks, "Smart Girls Don't Talk", at least in this 1948 crime romance, starring Virginia Mayo as socialite with a depleted bank account and Bruce (don't call me Herman) Bennett as a cultured, smooth, night-club owning gangster with falls for Mayo in his own gangster way. She needs...- Julian Shellhammer

Several Several lifetimes ago, I chanced to see Follow Thru at a UCLA screening. I recall it being great fun, and in pre-VHS, -dvd, -cable, and -streaming, there was a sense of watching something that was virtually impossible for us to see anywhere else.- Julian Shellhammer
