What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

How To Train Your Dragon

Yes, I watch kids movies.

You could do far worse. The just-released sequel seems to be doing well at the box office and has gotten some very favorable reviews.

I really enjoyed Daphne du Maurier's novel and the movie (also directed by Hitchcock) "Rebecca," but found reading "Jamaica Inn" painfully slow and, hence, never watched the movie. Have you seen or read "Rebecca?" How does it compare to "Jamaica Inn?"

I've read and seen "Rebecca". I'd have to say that "Rebecca" was both a better story and movie than "Jamaica Inn", however Hitchcock may have had a better production budget and studio for "Rebecca" since it was a Selznick production and shot near Big Sur. If you get a chance to watch "Jamaica Inn" I'd take it. You might be able to stream it off the internet.

"Jamaica Inn",(1939). Adapted from Daphne du Maurier's 1936 novel, and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. With Charles Laughton in a very unsympathetic role and a young Maureen O'Hara.

Just recently re-watched "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" for about the 200th time. One of my favorite lines in the whole movie is when Charles Laughton (in a clip taken from The Bribe) asks Rigby Reardon (Steve Martin) "Do you know who I could be, Mr. Rigby?" to which Martin replies, "Hunchback of Notre Dame?". That one always gets me no matter how many times I've seen it.

I agree, it doesn't get much better than that.
Bad dialogue too? Then you have what could be the perfect movie.

Godzilla's Revenge.
A veritable cornucopia of men in rubber monster suits.
My 3 year old son loved it.

I know I could! lol

I want to tell people I've seen it just so I can "attempt" to say the title with a Scottish accent.

She was looking a little young and crazy in this early (1960) Italian schlocker

Go to You Tube and watch a few (or more) Billy Connolly videos. Some of the language he uses is not for those who are easily offended, but he has a wonderful Scottish accent.

One of my grandson's favorite movies. I'm pretty sure that at this point I can quote the entire movie line by line from memory.

Thank you, will do. I own the "collector's edition" or something like that of Rebecca and it is interesting to see the extras, in particular, how many stars auditioned for the lead female role. I always thought Joan Fontaine nailed it and that "Rebecca" and "Suspicion" are her two best movies, but just from the screen test you can see how each star would have altered the character slightly.

That one is my favorite of the batch! although I will gladly sit through any of them, any time.

A good choice. Did you enjoy it?

 

[Zombie_61]

Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952). Hoo-boy. I kept watching hoping it would get better, but it didn't.

Yes, and if I had been Vincent Parry I would have helped Madge Rapf "fall" from her apartment window.

I'm currently watching Fly Away Home.

Twice, just to make sure.

It is a good little flick which does not get much attention or rather, enough praise.

"The War Lover" tonight.

Later William Powell as Philo Vance in the "Kennel Murder Case".
