What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Old Rogue]

Last night i watched a delightful little programmer called Crashing Hollywood (1938) with Lee Tracy. I'm getting out my movies I've burned to DVD and finally watching them now that the hubby isn't home.

The night before that I watched Clara Bow's first talkie The Wild Party (1929) for the millionth time. Love that movie and love Clara!

Ahhh Amy, it seems you are another lounger who's spouse doesn't appreciate vintage films. Sometimes I feel like an alcoholic, sneaking my vintage "drink" when no one's around!

Last Movie

Saw three movies in the last two days.

127 Hours (The Aron Ralston Story). Absolutely magnificent movie that deserved its nomination. I did not faint.

Sabrina (Hepburn, Holden, Bogart). Never have you ever been so enchanted by a lead character's charm. Unfortunately, I watched the one with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond. Tragedy. xD

An Education (Nominated last Year) No words can describe how good this movie is. Just watch it when you get the chance. :eusa_clap

Cheers.

I went with a friend to the wilds of Jersey City, to one of those magnificent old movie palaces we all love so much, and saw 2 terrific classic films. First up was the 1932 horror flick, "Freaks", followed by Mae West and Cary Grant in "She Done Him Wrong" from 1933. Both wonderfully pre-code.
What a treat. It's a cliche, but there's nothing like seeing an old film on the big screen. The horrific final scene in "Freaks" is immensely enhanced this way. And the Mae West masterpiece is a real revelation on the big screen.
Here's a link to the theater. It holds close to 3,000 people, tho the balcony is currently closed off. It's run on a shoestring by dedicated volunteers. It could soak up $20 million like a sponge and still need more work. But it's still simply magnificent in its genteel shabbiness.

I agree.

 

[Bourne ID]

Watched " The Remains of the Day" last night. Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Reeve, Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant.
Excellent movie, fantastic clothing and hats of the golden era.

 

[Doctor Strange]

That's a great flick. Hopkin's performance is an amazing bit of acting: his character is inhumanly repressed and unexpressive... yet we see right through to the damaged, limited man within.

 

[Berlin]

Pirates of the Caribbean. First time in my life....never saw any of 'em.

 

[Neophyte]

I watched John Carpenter's The Thing. It's one of my favorite movies in my collection.

 

[Miss Golightly]

Two for the Road

 

[Old Rogue]

Just finished watching The Big Sleep, and watched Tin Pan Alley last night.

Last night, TCM ran Tunes of Glory. Alec Guiness as good, but the script was a little lame.

 

[John in Covina]

I watched John Carpenter's The Thing. It's one of my favorite movies in my collection.

Just the scene with head coming off, growing crab legs and walking away is worth the price of admission.

In Which We Serve, p/d/w and starring Noel Coward. Co-directed by David Lean. Clipped, rapid-fire line delivery with upper lips very stiff. There were a couple of genuinely moving scenes, such as the soldiers rescued from Dunkirk waiting on the dock in England; the camera tracks down the front rank of the soldiers, exhausted, staring the thousand yard stare. Then, a stunning very high crane shot as the slouching, slumping men are called to attention, execute a left-face, then march off, basically in a single shot with minimal cut aways to the sailors watching them.
