What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[V.C. Brunswick]

Just watched Platoon. I hadn't before realized that Johnny Depp was in it.

Forrest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) was also in Platoon.

[Gregg Axley]

Electra Glide In Blue (1973), with Robert Blake, Mitch Ryan, and Jeannine Riley.

 

[DesertDan]

"The Thing From Another World"

 

[jamespowers]

Charlie Chan in Egypt

Good one!
I watched The Gorilla with Bela Lugosi.

 

[DanielJones]

Last night it was Abbot & Costello meet the Mummy. Still funny after all these years. Great collection of pith helmets too.

Cheers!

Abbot & Costello meet the Mummy

You just can't go wrong with their monster flicks.
I still like Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstien. After 17yrs Lugosi could still give that piercing look as Dracula. :eusa_clap
Tonight I'm watching "Night Creatures" from 1962 with Peter Cushing and Oliver Reed.
I'm a huge fan of the old Hammer movies as I've stated before, and even at this time of year, I still won't watch the "jump out and grab ya" flicks. I like to keep my recliner dry.

Johnny Depp was in Platoon?
:rofl:

Suddenly see him running around the jungle dressed as Captain Jack.

"The Thing From Another World"

Great movie. Overlapping dialog, very likable characters, and the trick of not showing the monster upfront but teasing the audience right up to the end. Director credit to Christian Nyby but allegedly directed by Howard Hawks.

Watched that one last night, too!

The Cinncinatti Kid

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Yep, and so was Danny Glover. It's interesting to go back and watch these older movies and find actors that went on to play starring roles in later films.

Forrest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) was also in Platoon.

 

[Giftmacher]

The bridge on the river Kwai.

Mirror, Mirror - a lot of fun.

[Widebrim]

Finally saw He Ran All the Way, with John Garfield, Shelley Winters, and Wallace Ford. Interesting "family as hostages" film in that the abductor and the hostages were of the same social class. Many of those involved in the film were blacklisted, including Dalton Trumbo, who wrote the screenplay but was fronted by Guy Endore. Also recently watched Body and Soul, another Garfield film (perhaps his greatest role), written by Abraham Polonsky (also of Force of Evil), a commentary on the evils of unbridled capitalism. To top off the Garfield kick, saw They Made Me a Criminal, with the Dead End Kids; nothing spectacular, but good to see Mr. Garfield in his earlier days. And as an extra, saw the boxing filmThe Set-Up with Robert Ryan for the third time. Love the gritty directorial style of Robert Wise, and the character study cameos interspersed throughout, as well as the real-time scenario.

Just saw The Third Man today for the first time. It was good, though awkward at times, and the music lost some suspense IMO.

And Johnny Depp... He gets mentioned quite a bit around here.

The Set-Up opens and closes with a shot of the clock out on the street, and it sort of surprises you when you see how little time actually goes by compared to all the story packed into the movie.
