What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

"It Happened One Night". Great movie, great cast. Clark Gable, his talent was just ticking over, didn't even look as if he was trying. Great Actor, Great Dresser and had more talent in his little finger than most new actors. Only one actor who may trump Clark is the formidable Cary Grant, who is, as they say nowadays, most worthy.

I greatly enjoy Clark Gable as an actor (and dresser) and agree that "It Happened One NIght" lifts off the screen. That said, one thing that has always driven me crazy about Clark Gable is his, to my eye, over gesticulating walk - it's as if he's moving three times as much as he needs to with his arms swinging, body pumping, head bopping - it's all too much. And I am a big fan of his, but in some movies his walk drives me crazy. Away from that pet peeve, I love that he made one of his best movies twice, first "Red Dust" and then again as "Mogambo." I think I prefer "Red Dust," but I enjoy both greatly.

How I feel about the way Tom Cruise runs. Weird.

The last movie that I saw was the 'White House Down '. The maker of the film has done a very good work in the previous movies, '2012' and 'The Day After Tomorrow'. And this time he has again done an excellent work.

I watched Grease last night. I love the musical movie !

Talking of exaggerated walks, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, but still great actors for their time.

"The Long Haul" - Middling post-war pot-boiler starring Victor Mature and Diana Dor's (poor mans Marilyn Monroe). I'd a turned it off but Mature and the other drivers kept sporting these beautiful, vintage surplus Irvins and Duffel Coats. Sigh... two hours I'll never git back.

Yesterday the mail delivered a copy of "The Anderson Tapes" from 1971 with Sean Connery (post-Bond) and I sat down to watch it with no particular expectations other than Maltin gave it 3 of 4 stars in his book. I was surprised to discover that this is an EXCELLENT film with great acting, great scripting, great story, great photography... just great overall. Strongly recommended if you like caper films, or just smart, focused films generally.

Davy (1958)

Harry Secombe as a music hall star who gets a chance to audition for a job as an opera singer. Bloody awful. Absolute rot.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Probably some good singin' though. Not even any Goon cameos to rescue it?

 

[Two Types]

Just awful. And believe me, I've seen some rubbish in my time (after all, I spent seven years working in cinemas through the 1980s!!!). It's not very often that I am praying for a film to end.

Black Jack ...Ken Loach film .......most enjoyable even with a bit of slightly stilted amateur acting by a clue of the children, then again that's Loach!

Yeah, it's pretty cool and the special effects..man! I think it might be a hit.

I've got a bad feeling about this...

This is the man Wayne got his walk from, and his acting style. [video=youtube;u5X1ItPRfCI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5X1ItPRfCI[/video]
