What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Touchofevil]

In the Heat of the Night on TCM. One of my all-time favorites. Steiger and Poitier are at the top of their game in this one.

The Pink Panther (1963).
Great scenery, really nice score, and of course Sellers is in top form (although he's not in it that much).

Saw that one too on TCM.

In the Heat of the Night on TCM. One of my all-time favorites. Steiger and Poitier are at the top of their game in this one.

"Steiger and Poitier are at the top of their game in this one." +1, the intensity in their scenes is overwhelming. Maybe matched by a couple of the scenes in "Doubt" when Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman square off.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Saw that one too on TCM.

My wife kept wondering why Sellers wasn't in the movie as much, and that's because TPP was the first in the series.
A Shot In The Dark really showed Sellers talent.
Of course the trivia section on IMDB has a lot of info we don't normally hear, and TPP wasn't for Sellers.
It was for Ustinov, while he was a good actor, I just can't see him in it.
Oddly enough, Ustinov didn't show on the first day of filming (for who knows why), so they hired Sellers.
The rest is history.

"We Are The Millers" - Low Brow but laugh out loud funny!!!! Didn't need the happy ending but it was MUCH better than expected. Catch it on the BO

" Secret of the Incas" with Charlton Heston. Great movie from the early 50's.

 

[Gregg Axley]

The Doll Squad (1973).
Like a low budget Charlie's Angels.
With Francine York, Lisa Todd, Tura Satana, and Michael Ansara.
So how good is it?
Well it's a mix between Agent Double 007 (with Sean Connery's brother), and Angels Revenge (1978).
Not the worst movie I've seen, but not the best one either.
The 70's soundtrack is good.

 

[Wally_Hood]

The Ex-Mrs. Bradford (1936) with William Powell and Jean Arthur, doing sort of a Nick and Nora. Racetrack homicide with a creepy twist.
I showed Help! (1965) with those four guys to my wife and teen-aged son, and was disappointed that neither was in the least interested.

" Secret of the Incas" with Charlton Heston. Great movie from the early 50's.

Except for the weird singing. You can definitely see where "Indiana Jones" came from.

 

[Renault]

"The Professionals" (1966)

Lee Marvin, Woody Strode, Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan.

An American Classic

Nuff said.

 

[Otter]

R.I.P.D. Very derivative and predictable, but funny all the same, especially the throwaway gag at the end which completes the running joke all through the film.

 

[Feraud]

"Steiger and Poitier are at the top of their game in this one." +1, the intensity in their scenes is overwhelming. Maybe matched by a couple of the scenes in "Doubt" when Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman square off.

Agreed on both counts!

The weird singing was definitely not a good art of the film. The map room scene was ripped off from there that is for sure.

If it came from the 1970s it can't be good.

"The Three Musketeers" (1939) with Don Ameche and the Ritz brothers. If Dumas was still alive, he'd be turning over in his grave.

Got to give the man his due, Alexandre Dumas could write a good story. Imo nobody has made a good film of it.

Yes, if occasionally a bit long winded. This movie could have been titled "D'Artagnan meets the Three Stooges", but they were probably busy working for Columbia.

I'll agree on the Firebird, Steely Dan (I can take them or leave them), and Parliment.
Well, I've only heard a few of their songs (Parliment), Flashlight being the most popular.
I'll see your Firebird, and raise you a Pam Grier and a Tamara Dobson (RIP).
Plus I'll throw in Bruce Lee, and Robert Hooks just for good measure.
I still like Trouble Man, especially the soundtrack. :cool2:
