I have it ordered

I actually haven't seen it in years, so it'll be like seeing it for the first time when I get it.

It's an eye-and-ear candy movie. Plot is so-so, but not awful. Was mind-blowing on the big screen, back in 1984.


Fantastic depiction of '20s Harlem residents as real people, not as stereotypes or modern-day folks. One of them even calls the Cotton Club's white managers "ofays" (but not to their faces). How much more authentic can you get? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ofay

The clothing is all I remember about it. I have no remembrance at all of the plot.

It's funny you asked though... I just ordered it this morning, because I haven't been able to find it online.

Kate & Leopold

Yeah I know it's sappy... but it's a time travel movie and I like it, so sue me

For Colin Firth alone....

Bridget Jones's Diary

 

[Miss Golightly]

The King's Speech

 

[KY Gentleman]

I'm watching "The Prowler" (1951) starring Van Heflin and Evelyn Keyes. I've never seen this one before but so far it's a big thumbs up!

 

[LocktownDog]

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. Far better than I thought it would be. Not for the squeamish. Funnier than heck.

 

[Miss Golightly]

Born Yesterday (1950)

 

[Dixie_Amazon]

The Girl Next Door (1953)

Bridget Jones's Diary

LOVE this one. Was a little disappointed in the second one as it didn't quite follow the book and I think they made Rene look horrid.

The first one was good and you're right, she really did look awful in that second one. I only watched it for Colin Firth. He could just stand there reading the phonebook and I'd pay to see him

Breakfast at Tiffany's

 

[I Adore Film Noir]

To The Shores of Tripoli (1942) John Payne, Maureen O'Hara

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

One, Two, Three. Again.

James Cagney is just great here, carrying the whole film almost single-handedly, even though Hotte Buchholtz (whom Cagney immensely disliked), Pamela Tiffin and Lilo Pulver are absolutely wonderful in their own right. I think Cagney never had so many lines in a single film before - and at such a speed, too!

Sitzen machen!

Haha. I have to see it again. I just ordered a James Cagney Box but it is without this one.
(White Heat, the Roaring Twenties ,The Public Enemy, The Bride Came C. O. D.,The Fighting 69th, Torrid Zone ,The West Point Story for 13€ at amazon)

Last vintage movie I watched was "In name only" with Cary Grant. It was ok but not great.

The Cat's Meow ..... again

 

[Vera Godfrey]

I love The Cat's Meow!

I twisted my ankle Friday and while resting I've watched Grumpy Old Men, Hello, Dolly!, True Grit, and 9-5.

Warrior with Nick Nolte. About two brothers and mixed martial arts. It was very, very good. I was surprised.
