What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[BigFitz]

"Taxi Driver" again. When it's on, I have to watch it.

 

[Touchofevil]

Flipping channels and stumbled across Rear Window on the RETRO channel so once again I am watching it.

 

[Miss Golightly]

if you like 'Eastern' films and don't mind subtitles then this is a cracker, sad and very cruel in places but incredibly realistic...City of life and Death http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124052/

I saw it a couple of months ago - it was a brilliant movie, quite horrific, but I think we were spared a lot of what could have been shown.

Haywire (Did not enjoy, plot all over the place, great fight scenes though)

Captain America LOL, finally got around to it.

 

[Formeruser012523]

Inglourious Basterds.

It actually drew me in with the dinner scene where the woman was brought to the Nazi's & told a film's premeire would be moved to her theatre.

Lost me when Brad Pitt showed up & I realized what I was watching, but finished it out anyway, not expecting much after that...

The actors were great, the overall feel & look of the film was wonderful. But, er, um, never realized Hitler died in the balcony of a movie house mowed down by a machine gun. Maybe I missed something.

"Dragnet"

 

[RichardH]

The Dictator (Sacha Baron Cohen flick) ; It was pretty funny at some points, and I had quite a few laughs, but I think that some of the "gags" (those of a sexual nature) were a bit contrived if that makes any sense..

 

[Atticus Finch]

Taking Chance.

AF

 

[AmateisGal]

The Longest Day

 

[ButteMT61]

Sergeant York, Gary Cooper.
Hart's War, Bruce Willis, Colin Farrell.
Tora Tora Tora.
Spirit Of St Louis. James Stewart

Memorial Day after all...

 

[Widebrim]

Caddy Shack followed by Kansas City Confidential.

Latter is one of my favorite post-war films. John Payne does a good job as a vulnerable Joe trying to act tough.

Insurance Agent (to Payne's character, Rolfe): "(You) left school to join the engineers. Good soldier, too. Bronze Star, Purple Heart..." 


Rolfe: "Try and buy a cup of coffee with them..."

Currently watching Port of New York (second time in two years), with Scott Brady and Yul Brynner.

Kings of the Evening Has it all (the hats. the clothing, and a period piece summed up as swanking) {Imposingly fashionable or elegant; grand} I recommend you rent this DVD and the check out the Special feature the Art of KOTE.
This independently produced drama from director Andrew P. Jones travels back to the Great Depression of the 1930s. It tells the sad saga of Homer Hobbs (Tyson Beckford), a young African-American man who wraps up a two-year jail sentence and returns home to his dead-end small town with a complete lack of prospects. Instinctively, Homer develops a rapport and begins to stick together with four other people roughly in the same boat as he is: Clarence (Glynn Turman), a zero who longs to be someone significant; Gracie (Lynn Whitfield), a down-and-out boarding-house owner who harbors a shocking secret; Benny (Reginald T. Dorsey), a street hustler who plans to relocate to sunny Florida and start afresh; and Lucy (Linara Washington), a woman whose scandalous past threatens to destroy the lives of those around her.

My favorite line in the film: "Thanks for Nothing!"

 

[Worf]

"Germany Year Zero" - An amazing film (made even more amazing in that I'd never heard of it before) shot in Berlin a few years after the end of WWII. This film by Roberto Rossellini shows the lives of desperate people scrambling to survive in the bomb shattered dung heap that is postwar Germany. Nothing is sacred, everything is shown, no one is spared".

"Before we were proud National Socialists, now we're all just Nazis."

HBO Asia came up trumps this evening with Rango - genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Ironically, I'd been watching it on DVD last night. Laptop battery died..... at exactly the same point in the film I stepped in on this evening. Love it so much I can even forgive the slightly predictable happy ending... Well worth catching, especially if you love the Western trope. Watch out for a lovely little nod to Clint, plus a throwaway Fear and Loathing... reference.

Also watched Scott Pilgrim on HBO tonight. Better than I remembered it being. Still pretty poor in terms of lack of character development, but otherwise it worked much better on the small screen than in the cinema. Maybe the video-games references just make more sense that size? Ending still sits awkwardly, but self-respect being more important and valuable than love - I can get right on board with that.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Bonnie and Clyde.

 

[splintercellsz]

Public Enemies.

 

[jamespowers]

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

 

[DanielJones]

Yesterday it was The Wind & The Lion followed by The Ghost & The Darkness.

Cheers!

Been enjoying "The Mysterious Lady". I love watching Garbo silent films, but the score they added is awful. It has all this bad Kenny G sax during the romantic scenes that makes me think I'm watching a late 1980s Spice Channell soft-core porno... yuck.
