What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

Wanted - No heart, no soul, vestigal plot, not worth the time or the money. Read a good comic book instead.

Lol! Wanted is a comic book. My last was Godfather Part II, which was playing behind the bar (?) of a club I was at this weekend.

I'm watching "No Country For Old Men" AGAIN! I love this one....

Sunday night I watch a double bill of Claude Rains - The Invisible Man, which is an absolute classic, and The Pantom of the Opera, which took some serious liberties with the original story, but is still quite entertaining. Interesting that they turned it into something of a revenge story, as much as anything...

 

[Doctor Strange]

The Burmese Harp, an interesting Japanese antiwar film from 1957 that was on TCM last night. I liked it.

I also watch it and and glad I wasn't the only one who saw this film.
I stayed for the others that followed, Rashomon and Kwaidan.
But I especially liked The Burmese Harp, Plot: A Japanese musician keeps up the spirits of his fellow soldiers as they flee Burma during World War II.
I wish I had seen this sooner, tragic but a great story.

2. Madea Goes to Jail (Sunday)

 

[TheLimey]

From Russia with Love, good old James Bond and not as cheesey as some of the other ones...

 

[vitanola]

"The Cheat"

a still strangely moving "meller", featuring a good performance by the perennial Fanny Ward and a bravua turn by Sessuie Hayakawa, as the dangerously alluring Yellow Peril.

 

[Slim Portly]

This past weekend, "Gone With the Wind." This morning, 1936's "My Man Godfrey" with William Powell and Carole Lombard.

 

[Inky]

Double Indemnity (currently on TCM On Demand).

wow, this was a great film noir classic - Barbara Stanwyck is STUNNING to watch, and this was a really unusual role for Fred MacMurray. Edward G. Robinson - always fantastic!

I want to watch it again! Here's the trailer -

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Paul and Robert together are a great team and I like it to watch them both in a movie. The Sting was the second I saw yesterday, after Butch and Sundance.
Both are funny and interesting and The Sting has all the nice atmosphere of the good old mobster time.

Good choice Edward! Claude Rains is so underrated. Ever since I read that he's buried within in a car drive away from me I've wanted to go pay my respects.

I like this one too. The story was very well done and Stanwyck was on top of her game in this movie.
One moment that struck me as funny was Fred MacMurray stops at a drive-in restaurant and just orders a beer. AT A DRIVE-IN RESTAURANT!
My how times have changed!

Just finsihed watching, A Bronx Tale with Robert DeNiro & Chazz Palminteri ... wonderful movie about a father who's fighting with a neighborhood mobster for control of his young son.

 

[tempestbella42]

i had a good laugh out loud yesterday to "I was a male War Bride" with anne sheridan and the brilliantly funny Cary Crant!

 

[Quigley Brown]

I watched the Bourne trilogy over the weekend. If I type 'Blackbriar' I wonder if the CIA will take notice......

That'd be cool to see. For something that would have been so easy to ham up as a bit of kitsch, he really gave the invisible man depth, that even at his most twisted, he was still a pitiable creature. I was also, incidently, extremely impressed with the effect of the invisibility, especially when he was half-clothed: it can't have been easy to do it so well back in the 30s.

I watched The Third Man last night for the first time. I love the hat Harry Lime was wearing. Great film noir.
