What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Badluck Brody]

I would have to add..

I believe Tom Hanks should also be added to that list of "The Regular Joes"...:eusa_clap

Though I don't believe Mr. Hanks is the same caliber as Mr. Ford, Mr. Ford has that "calm before the storm" and "anger hidden beneath the surface" thing working for him.... While Mr. Hanks can portray vulnerable, weak and also humerous without loosing his dignity.

Mr. Hanks is without a doubt, the Jimmie Stewart of our time.

JMO[huh]

Angels With Dirty Faces...love it...

 

[BegintheBeguine]

In both Vertigo and Rear Window, James Stewart portrayed a self-centered man, possibly a cad bordering on jerk so well you didn't even realize that's what he was. I have heard of other people not liking James Stewart before, too.
Last movie I saw was Return of the Silver Surfer. My guy friend who has Netflix and enjoys my company likes this type of movie. We liked the shirtless scene, a lot.

 

[Quigley Brown]

Impromptu (1991): Based on story of the romance between George Sand (sort of a tomboy played by Judy Davis) and Frederic Chopin (Hugh Grant). It was mildly entertaining. I thought Judy Davis look very sexy wearing period (1830s) mens clothes.

 

[Feraud]

Requiem for a Heavyweight.

 

[Valhson]

Miracle on 34th Street

The original

 

[LordJohnRoxton]

Gandhi (1982) with Ben Kingsley...

 

[Viola]

20,000 Years in Sing Sing, which is about as cheerful as you'd expect, but really good.

 

[SamMarlowPI]

Lady Killer 1933...such a great Cagney flick...

 

[CdnDandy]

Guys and Dolls (1955). Really enjoyed Stubby Kaye as Nicely-Nicely Johnson.

Nicely Nicely Johnson: Nicely, nicely.
Sky Masterson: I didn't ask how you are.
Nicely Nicely Johnson: Don't.

Elizabeth (last night)

Did you mean Rise of the Silver Surfer?

James Stewart has also played some likable guys. You Can't Take it With You, for example. If you don't like the person for their roles, well, I don't know what to say. But I personally find Bogart a bit overrated, despite his differing characters.

Agreed about Bogart. What about Danny Kaye? Nobody really mentions him and I think he was really talented and under rated.

Last movie I saw (if this counts) is the Are you Afraid of the Dark Season 1. I like watching shows and movies from when I was a kid.

 

[KittyT]

Watched "The Bad and The Beautiful" (1952) w/ Lana Turner and Kirk Douglas.

 

[ClaraB]

Arsenic and Old Lace....quite funny.

 

[vonwotan]

The Secret Agent based on the Conrad novel. It has been quite some time since we read Conrad so I can't say much about the adaptation. I did however, enjoy the movie.

 

[Miss Brill]

Arsenic and Old Lace....quite funny.

Love it. One of my favorites. :eusa_clap

 

[Jovan]

I never knew Cary Grant could do physical comedy so well until I saw that.

 

[Miss Brill]

Cary Grant was also very physical in Bringing Up Baby.

 

[imoldfashioned]

I'm planning to see Atonement tomorrow. I'm Not There is playing at the same theater. I despise Dylan but I love Todd Haynes and friends have raved about how wonderful Cate Blanchett is so I may be swayed.
