What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

House of Bamboo - wasn't sure if this would be my kind of movie but I really enjoyed it - good storyline, great performances and fabulous on location filming.

It's sort of a Technicolor wide-screen noir. Check out the audio commentary about some strange undercurrents the writer and director set up between the characters.

Cowboys and Aliens

Our family watched it, and thought it was a great premise that didn't finally deliver all that it could (imo).

Continuing my early Crosby kick with "We're Not Dressing," possibly the best of Bing's early Paramount features -- any picture where the supporting cast includes Carole Lombard, Ethel Merman, Leon Errol, Burns and Allen, and a trained bear has to be something that deserves a place at the top of any bill. Another ration of great songs too, including "May I," "Love Thy Neighbor," "Once In A Blue Moon," and "She Reminds Me Of You," the latter hysterically sung by Bing to the aforementioned bear. Who says Crosby had to wait till the Road pictures to discover his absurdist side?

I just love that movie and you're right.... it's full of great songs

Will do! We picked up on Robert Ryan's character's feelings for Robert Stack early on - I was just reading up on the movie and apparently Ryan was the only actor to be made aware of his character's yearnings - I thought it was wonderfully underplayed and subtle.

Blue Skies (1946) The more I watch these classic films, the less I like the production of these days.

"Real Steel" (2011)
. It was good. My wife liked it too - double shock.
"War Horse" (2011) on deck. See if viewing #2 evokes same tears.
Being home sick has some perks

From Hell staring Johnny Depp and Robbie Coletrain as police investigators ... this is a great Victorian period flick about "Jack the Ripper". I wish there were were more period pieces of this quality. It is a really good movie.

Midnight In Paris

I really liked that one.

I really liked that one.

It was good, but the whole time I wished they would just show Paris in the 20s.... and the ending.... meh.

War Horse still got me. Dang, glad I'm home.

War Horse still got me. Dang, glad I'm home.

See, I love and hate movies like this. I get so emotionally involved that I feel absolutely drained afterwards...but I still want to see them.
Atonement did this for me, too. I only watched that movie once. Never again. Same with Cold Mountain.

Me and Orson Welles...... Not bad.

Winter's Bone.

Gritty, weighty.

'The Brain from Planet Arous' (1957)

Cheaply made 50s sci fi. You can't beat it when there's nothing else on TV.

 

[amador]

Under Suspicion, with Freeman, Hackman and Bellucci. It did not hold my interest the whole way. I started looking for flaws in the plot instead of being engaged about half way thru.

The other night TCM was running a sci-fi flicks and I watched Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. The Ray Harryhausen saucer effect were really good but the aliens outfits are terrible! In defeating the alien flying saucers we destroyed a few national landmarks..Doh!!

If there wasn't anything terrible about these movies they'd be very ordinary and probably wouldn't be worth watching

Taps (1981)
It was a long time ago, but still a very enjoyable movie.
