Stalag 17. One of my all-time favorites.
That's a good un'! Outstanding drama, well directed, superbly acted and not one wasted moment! 2 hours WELL spent!Stalag 17. One of my all-time favorites.
Burl Ives! What a force of nature! He earned that Oscar!Agreed, it stays in the formula but the dialogue and acting lift it above the ordinary. It's borderline "stop and drop" for me - I can resist if I have to, but it is hard.
I had seen The Godfather a number of times through the years, but only when it aired on television. I liked it well enough, but never quite saw what all the fuss was about. Then, when Francis Ford Coppola restored the three movies for release on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2008, they held special screenings at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California. A good friend asked if I wanted to go, and I thought, "Yeah, sure, I've never seen it on the big screen." Maybe because it was in a theater where I could immerse myself in the movie without the distractions that often accompany viewing a movie at home, that time it clicked and The Godfather became one of my favorite movies.Strangely, on Thanksgiving, they were. Later, I watched part of The Godfather I. Didn't stick around for the third one. And I agree, it isn't bad. I've watched them many times and always am amazed at how well they are done.
Because Taken 2 was bad and still made 376.1 million dollars. They knew that the masses would hold out hope that Taken 3 would get the series back on track. It didn't, but made 326.5 million dollars. Don't be surprised if there is a Taken 4.Oh, Taken 3 was so bad. Gah. Don't know why they even bothered.
Spectre! It was definitely a must see movie on the big screen. The opening scene was very cool. I would watch on the big screen again: tonight.
East Side, West Side (1949). Great movie!

It was a lot of fun. I sure hope Craig stays around for at least a few more Bond flicks. I realize that I will be lucky to get one more, but I have hope.Yay! Glad you liked it. And I agree - it's a must for the big screen.

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015). An enjoyable action/adventure comedy to eat popcorn by.
I also watched it a few days ago and was pretty unimpressed. Far too brain-dead and violent for me.
