What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

And....The Avengers: Age of Ultron lived up to my expectations. I wouldn't say it is necessarily better than the first Avengers movie - but I would say they are equal in how good they are.

A good friend whose opinion I trust said pretty much the same thing; "It was at least as good as the first one." I'm going to wait until the crowds die down a bit before I go to see it myself.

Where you live? I believe it.

Yeah, you get the freak show, I get the nitwits and morons. lol

I'm currently watching a Dirty Harry marathon on AMC--all five movies with the good parts censored, and the first three are still better than most of what's on the other 50,000 channels.

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1955) with Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day. About once a month or so we get together with another family for a meal and a movie. We've gone through several Hitchcock films: it was recommended and endorsed that we do a Mickey Rooney-Judy Garland movie next time for a change of pace.

That's a good one. Nothing wrong with adding some variety into your programing, but there are a lot of Hitchcock movies to go through.

In addition to all the "big" ones - "North by Northwest," To Catch a Thief," etc. you can go back to his '40s ones like "Notorious" and "Suspicion" and even earlier with "The Lady Vanishes," and "Sabotage" or "The 39 Steps," plus many, many more. When one looks it up, it is amazing how many outstanding movies he made.

It sounds like you guys have a fun monthly get together.

A Blueprint for Murder (1953) and I Wake Up Screaming (1941). Carole Landis And Betty Grable! How lucky a man Victor Mature was to star with these two beautiful ladies.

Planet of the Apes 1967 starring Charlton Heston as "Taylor"

picked up the DVD at Fry's recently

The Purple Plain. (1954) Gregory Peck. I haven't watch this one since the 70s, Dialing for Dollars, any one remember that?

Enjoyed 'The Purple Plain' just the other night. As previously stated, worth it for the Mozzies alone.

Blade Runner 1982 International Cut.
Has more violent action scenes than the other versions.

 

[Blackthorn]

Ace of Hearts, 1921, with Lon Chaney. I had never sat through a whole silent film before (with the exception of Chaplin's movies, which I love), but this one kept me riveted.

Watching "Ocean's Eleven" 1960. How lucky can one guy be?

I consider myself fortunate to have seen a number of silent movies in theaters (four or five featuring or starring Mr. Chaney), many with live accompaniment rather than a pre-recorded musical score. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend it.

Last night TCM aired several silent shorts produced and directed by Mack Sennett for the Keystone Film Company, primarily featuring Barney Oldfield and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. One, titled The Knockout (1914), featured Arbuckle ("Pug") in a boxing match against Edgar Kennedy ("Cyclone Flynn"). Chaplin, who had not yet branched out on his own, played The Referee and it was fairly easy to see how he would become one of the most well-known stars of the era.

I wish I lived in an area where we had a theater like that now. I lived in the bay area for many years and I really enjoyed the Stanford theater for all the great old movies.

I also saw those silent ones last night, too. I love TCM for their silent Sunday nights.

I am a little biased, since he was born in my home town, but, he was really a genius. Way ahead of his times! Imagine what he could do with today's special effects. He really could have played a thousand characters in one movie!

Chaney or Chaplin?

He could play nearly all the characters in the movie---better than Eddie Murphy tried. :doh:

One of my favorites!

Take Mickey Rooney out and a very good movie becomes great. Incredibly stylish movie with a sad undertone.

I'm glad someone else sees that, too. I can't imagine what they were thinking...

One of my favorites!

My internet went out so I couldn't watch it after all

Bummer! Hopefully you get it back soon, so you can see it and then post here about it. I know, you're posting from work, right?

Two on a Guillotine, 1965, with Connie Stevens and Dean Jones, directed by William Conrad (yes, of "Nero Wolfe" and a million voiceovers fame). It features a grand performance by Virginia Gregg.
