What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

Deception (1946) with Bette Davis, Claude Rains, Paul Henreid. Made at WB, but it has occasional MGM glossiness. A prime example of what they used to call "women's pictures." A good deal of it takes place in a "studio", what we might call a loft today. Weird angles, sort of like Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Noir lighting, rain, interior shots, relationships woven about with lies, someone with a past- it was like romance noir.

See this one if you can.

My wife is teaching an English course and is preparing a unit on gothic literature. We saw the 1931 film Frankenstein last night as part of her prep. The classic film was, to my mind, rather cheesy. I know I'm supposed to remember that it was a product of its time, but I couldn't get past the cheesy acting!

I watched Thunder Road today. Being from Kentucky, I expected it to do the normal of painting us as incest-ridden hillbillies. But it didn't and it was a good movie to boot.

Last movies I watched

2 last night!
The Women (1939) classic all star women film.mostly watched it for the vintage wear,movements,context of attire for which occassion.story of a beautiful Lady/woman who's husband is cheating on her.How all of her "friends" know not only that it's been going on but "who" the "other woman" is. great story,typical of "the club" scene, beautiful clothes!
Then The Screaming Woman (1973[?])with Olivia De Havilliand Noir Suspense story of a recently inturned Mental patient who returns to society.while out with her "Pony" & cart she sees a jack russell digging at the ground she stops to help the "puppy" and then her world turns topsy-turvey again! I will spoil the ending though.....it ends on a good note!
That's it!
at the near end of our day today at work we all watched tha last 20 or 30 minutes of the recent movie "Seven Pounds" with Will Smith!(what a great actor!) very good movie again.......NOIR! NOIR! NOIR!

Monsters vs. Aliens with my daughter. Cute.

Sat down on a rainy Saturday afternoon to watch "Easy Virtue." Very entertaining. Snappy dialogue, wonderful costuming, and a borderline acceptable acting effort by Jessica Biel. Loved the butler.

Don't Bogart that DVD, my friend, pass it over to me

Watched half each of Sierra Madre and The Big Sleep. I believe Bogart would make in film today as much as he did in his time.

 

[Carlisle Blues]

I saw "Australia" a few days ago. I enjoyed it...

 

[Scott Wood]

How very backhanded, that compliment LOL

I'm actually watching probably Bogie's most absurd movies right now: Beat the Devil.
Peter Lorre and all that slightly offbeat bunch lol

I liked this one too.

Beat the Devil is an odd but fun film. I have it on my Iphone and watch a few scenes now and again.
Bogart's most absurd film in terms of casting has to be The Return of Dr. X! With that white face and skunk stripe on his head..

I was flipping through cable last night, and saw that The Roaring Twenties was coming on. I have always wanted to see it but never got around to it.

I loved it! It was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. The ending line was a masterpiece.

Be the Devil!

I haven't seen that one for years but I would agree with your description from what I remember. It's fun to watch that ensemble of actors who enjoyed working together in anything. Peter Lorre had such a great delivery.

Whatever Works - Larry David starring in a Woody Allen movie. It didn't attempt to be overly heady, but was pretty fun.

61* The movie about Roger Maris starring Barry Pepper and Thomas Jane.

I really liked this movie. I love Barry Pepper, I think he's a pretty good actor.

This movie holds up well. I think even 'modern' movie goers would like it.

^ In regards to Rear Window. I agree, I think that 'modern' movie goers would enjoy it. It's full of suspense, and it keeps the audience guessing. An all around great movie!

I don't think of incest-ridden hillbillies when I think of Kentucky, I think of horses! Oh, and Mint Juleps.

As a Kentuckian, this reference is not flattering. We might initiate a war between the states with suggestions of other venues where this might be more prevalent but I will refrain, as a member of the Commonwealth's Bar, requiring me to forswear duelling.

Crismans was saying that Kentucky was always portrayed that way and I was just saying that I have never thought of Kentucky in that way. In fact, it's one of the places I'd like to visit.
