What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

English? What's that?

(My mother grew up in Brazil.)

Brazilian is a different language in the sense that there have been other language influences there that have changed the original language quite a bit. I can understand it but the inflection and tone grates me.

James, we grew up in Mexifornia.... I can at least get the gist, so I know you can

Really true. As far as speaking goes, I grew up hearing some Brazilian Portuguese, but am lost when I hear people speaking proper Portuguese Portuguese. (Does that make sense?)

You were closer down there than I was.

Oh yes. The Portuguese can understand them but they can't understand the Portuguese.

Yes it does. It's like taking Spanish in high school and trying to use it in Mexico.

True.

This Land is Mine. My first movie to see starring Charles Laughton. While I enjoyed the movie, I couldn't tell if he took the role seriously or not. It seemed like he was stifiling a laugh the whole time. Maureen O'Hara was beautiful.

I saw Peter O'Toole in 'Murphy's War' (1971) the other day and really wish I hadn't.

It terms of lack of plot credibility it's up there with 'Spy Kids', 'Home Alone' and the truly pathetic 'Iron Eagle'.

The main character teaches himself to fly one day, becomes a precision bomber the next and is so skilled he navigates a work barge (something that's not even a proper boat) out of the way of a torpedo the following day.

He was rude and obnoxious so everyone naturally liked him and did what he said even though it could endanger their lives and/or property. Then of course the female lead, to whom he was incredibly rude and ungrateful, developed feelings for him.

With such unbelievable skills (that possibly extended to mind control) I'm deeply disappointed he didn't do something equally astounding like solving Fermat's Last Theorem whilst lying in bed for a few hours.

It was as much as I could do to stop myself throwing something at the television.

Gangs of New York. It was pretty good. Hadn't seen it before.

 

[MissMittens]

Inside Job

 

[Wally_Hood]

Crime Wave (1952; released 1954), with Sterling Hayden, Gene Nelson, and Phyllis Kirk, dir. Andre de Toth. Minor film noir, but tough enough.

Funny

Recently watched Powell and Pressburger's Black Narcissus.

I'm a huge fan of Powell and Pressburger, but this was the first time that I had seen this one. I loved it.

 

[Connery]

Lone Wolf McQuade" Chuck Norris, Barbara Carrera, David Carradine

 

[samtemporary]

Gary Cooper in "A Farewell to Arms", 1932.

You've Got Mail (you have to pay for it if you want to watch it on YT)

I have watched is so many times I've lost count, but I still love it

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Red Dawn

 

[cw3pa]

A couple of William Powell movies; Jewel Robery with Kay Francis, & after an intermission (already seen The Kennel Murder Case) The Ex-Mrs. Bradford with Jean Arthur.

 

[DNO]

The Outlaw Josey Wales. One of my all time favourites. "I reckon so"

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Just got done watching it, myself.
