What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

You didn't like The Godfather?? :eeek:

No. "Leave the gun take the canoli." That was about it.

The Head(1959)

 

[Lord Brett]

Right now, "On Her Majesty's Service".

Good choice - I'd love to watch that again tonight but I'm way too busy!

I know I must be in the minority (as it made a lot of money), but I found it to be incredibly boring and forced myself for a reason I do not know, to watch the whole thing.

It's just awful. Not even original either - Dances with Wolves. In Space. With giant Smurfs. And a dash of Fern Gulley.

I never forgave the Belgians for inflicting Smurfs upon the world.

Just finished The Chronicles of Riddick. Didn't really get the plot, but enjoyed the special effects, even if it all made no sense. :eusa_doh:

I wish I could have those 2+ hours of my life back. It was, indeed, awful!

Last Thursday, Singin' in the Rain in the theater, thanks to TCM. What a joy.
Then, Saturday, Spiderman. Very much fun.
And, this evening, Ice Age number whatever.
(and somewhere in there, on Netflix part of a Flatt and Scruggs tv show from the 1950s, and some snippets of Ernie Kovacs)

The Eyes Behind the Stars.

Another 70s stinker.

Y'know, this looks like an instrument of torture, not entertainment.

It was. PU!

Dark Star (1974)

Cheesy movie but I love the theme song

Benson, Arizona
Blew warm wind through your hair
My body flies the galaxy,
My heart longs to be there...

Hitchcock's Saboteur. Very much a wartime propaganda piece and hamstrung by inadequate stars foisted on Hitch by Universal (Priscilla Lane and Robert Cummings), but the support cast is great as are several of the set pieces, particularly the climax on top of the Statue of Liberty. One wishes he'd saved it for a slightly better film.

It's very much an attempt at an American verison of The 39 Steps, but not quite up to that standard - it's a good 20 minutes too long for a start. We'd have to wait for North by Northwest for Hitch to really outdo 39 Steps.

Batman Returns. So easy to forget, given the sheer awfulness of what followed, just how magical the first two Burton Batman flicks were. By far the best take on Catwoman ever. Overall, the aesthetic was as close to perfect as we'll ever see in a live action film, I think.... in some scenes it was almost (give or take the cars) Batman The Animated Series brought to life.

Agreed! I loved the series & glad you brought that up. Now I need to hunt for it on DVD...

I loved Batman The Animated Series! I used my son as an excuse to watch it when it was on the telly and recently tracked some down on DVD. Until the Heath Ledger version Mark Hamil was the Joker for me. Dark, scary and very well done.

We saw "Moonrise Kingdom" last night. Excellent movie. Takes place in 1965, and does a splendid job of recreating that time for those who grew up then. Yeah, it's an odd story of course, but very well done! Great cast too.

Not really, but it's on Encore right now! Costner + Waterworld + Mad Max + USPS = Epic Crap

That was Mark Hamil?
