What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Doctor Strange]

I showed my daughter The Godfather Part II last night. Stunning as ever. Talk about a film that never gets old!

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

Blades of Glory. Disappointing!

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Barnyard. We didn't know I would need cheering up when someone recommened this to me, but it was in the pile when I needed cheering up. Didn't work. Cute, though.

 

[LordJohnRoxton]

Blades of Glory. Disappointing!

Really? Perhaps my expectations for the film were much lower than yours. I expected an uncomplicated laugh with some dumb humour and was not disappointed! Was it the funniest movie of all time? Not hardly!

 

[VintageKitten]

Last night I watched To Have & To Have Not - still find it incredible that Lauren is only 19 in this, her first movie!

 

[Quigley Brown]

I finally got to see 'Snakes on a Plane' last night. What a hoot.:eusa_doh: ...nasty, but a hoot. People must have been screaming their heads off when watching it on the big screen (definitely not a date movie). I can see it becoming a cult film to be shown in theaters at midnight every Halloween. And that memorable line from Samuel Jackson.......

 

[RIOT]

I saw The Kingdom last night. It was an alright movie for what is was worth, too much dialogue and not enough action, but when the action happened it was intense. Not enough of Jennifer Garner though.

Before that was Ratatouille (not on the same day).

 

[HadleyH]

"Star of Midnight" (1935)

...with William Powell and Ginger Rogers, is a comic/mystery, and the script is quite good. Another very entertaining vintage film.

 

[zeus36]

Just watched "The Awful Truth" (1937) with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne this morning. It's running on "On Demand" at my cable company.

 

[Smithy]

Watched The Manchurian Candidate (the 2004 version) last night on the telly. Good thriller.

 

[Harp]

Roman Holiday with Audrey....:cry:

 

[Quigley Brown]

I watched 'Dinner Rush' yesterday afternoon. It's a slick little film about a hectic night at a trendy Manhatten Italian restaurant. It has one of the best surprising and satisfying endings I've seen in a long time!

 

[pretty faythe]

David and Lisa (1962) about 2 teens in a school for the mentally ill who fall in love and help each other over come their illnessess.
Sigh.... So touching.

 

[Smithy]

I don't usually give a movie 10/10 but last night I saw the Danish film "Efter bryllupet" (After the Wedding) and I have to say this was worth it. Some of the best acting I have seen in a long, long time. I'd urge anyone here after a stunning film to see this.

No doubt Spitfire, BT, Speedster et al have seen this!

 

[Doctor Strange]

At my cinema club screening yesterday, we saw the not-yet-released-in-the-US O Jerusalem.

It's the story of the British departure from Palestine in 1948 and the ensuing war that created the State of Israel, told from the POV of a pair of best friends, one Jewish American and one Palestinian Arab, who had met and bonded in New York in the years just previous. Both end up highly placed in the Haganah and Palestinian forces, respectively - and inevitably find themselves holding one another at gunpoint...

It was well done, but I'll stick with the 1960 film of Exodus for telling this particular story. Of course, the obvious reason that this new film was made is that the Israelis and Palestinians are still killing each other 60 years later... Oy, the more things change...

 

[Feraud]

The Harder They Fall w/Bogart.
This was Humphrey Bogart's last film and a great one to go out with.

History may have stereotyped Bogey but he made films with range.
This film, along with In A Lonely Place, The Caine Mutiny, and Treasure of the Sierra Madre are some of his best later period work from those I have seen.

Apocalypto is up next.

 

[Joie DeVive]

M. Night Shyamalan's Signs

It was not quite what I expected.
Though not in a bad way, mind you.....

 

[LordJohnRoxton]

42nd Street... Premiered February,1933. I had forgotten that ginger Rogers played a fairly minor role in the film. This was not too long before she began headlining with Fred Astaire (Flying Down to Rio December, 1933).
