I saw Millers Crossing last night down at the AFI, in the 1938 silver theater

I'll check this one out. I just watched "The Brave One" and liked it. I didn't realize it was a re-make. Thanks!Twitch said:Get this from Netflix- Ms .45. It was the original from about 1976 for the remake Jody Foster The Brave One recently released.

Patrick Murtha said:Some recent viewings:
The Eel -- Shohei Imamura's 1997 film, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, is a calmly effective study of an ordinary man who kills his wife in a fit of jealousy, and how he adjusts afterward. In the tradition of the great Japanese humanist cinema.
Quigley Brown said:I have that on DVD and have watched it several times now. Heck, I may go watch it again.... I love good Japanese cinema. Have you seen 'Nobody Knows'?
Patrick Murtha said:This movie had a very troubled shoot. According to a recent biography of Mitchum, the star didn't get along with Sternberg at all, and the film's producer eventually tossed the veteran director off the set, bringing in NIcholas Ray to complete the picture and do extensive re-shoots of what was already in the can. So this is a film where the official directorial credit is misleading.

I did enjoy it and it seems like it was a comeback for Woody Allen of sorts.
