Hi umop! So last week I watched Fighter - enjoyed it a lot! It is SO MUCH BETTER than the Top Gun movies, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not much of an action movie fan. I haven't even seen Rambo and have skipped almost all the Marvel movies. However, I did enjoy Top Gun: Maverick mostly because I gr...

Someone mentioned A Terrible Beauty/Night Fighters earlier in the thread. I watched it this month on Tubi because this month inspired me to find and watch some lesser known Mitchum films. I've been watching some on YouTube too. I thought I would add that Tubi (free with ads) has the following movies...

I am partial to 1957 as a very good year: Foreign The Cranes Are Flying The Lower Depths Mother India Nights of Cabiria Pyaasa The Seventh Seal Throne of Blood Wild Strawberries Hollywood 3:10 to Yuma 12 Angry Men An Affair to Remember The Bridge on the River Kwai The Curse of Frankenstein Desk Set ...

Forgive me. This post is really very long. I am a second generation Indian born in Chicago and my parents came to the United States in the 1970s. My parents originate from Kolkata, West Bengal. So I grew up exposed to mostly Bengali movies and some Bollywood films, especially if a Bengali had anythi...

also also, for them to charge twice the price, you think CRITERION would start producing some actual documentaries instead of using those VIDEO ESSAYS. Also also, there is a CRITERION CHANNEL that you can stream for a monthly cost of something like $12.00...$14? That Criterion streaming service is ...

Notorious will air on February 5th at 8:00 pm as part of an evening of Hitchcock films. Looks like the suspected rights issue of the last few years was cleared up.

Despite the Diamondbacks leading the NL West quite a time earlier in the season, they were still much maligned that eventually proved to be a righteous call since they fell precipitously in the second half quite a bit back. Curtains? Not quite, they slipped into the playoffs the second last day of ...

I also subscribe to the Criterion Channel which lately has been killing it in terms of their classic film offerings. Criterion Channel is my go to streaming service now. This month is fantastic: Pre-Code Horror The Black Cat The Dark Old House Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Doctor X Freaks Island of Lost ...

Two months ago I switched from three at a time ($20/mo.) to eight at a time ($58/mo.) to take advantage of the foreign film inventory. Two weeks after with any such film I put on the queue, I would check The Criterion Channel and/or my local library and found that many were available there. I have ...

I re-upped and I am going through my queue. I am prioritizing hard to find titles that Netflix still has, even though their selection has declined from it's heyday. I just finished with newer films that are exclusive to Disney, Paramount, Showtime etc. which I won't subscribe to since I have too man...

In time for Halloween, Criterion will be releasing a Tod Browning collection. Makes me think that WAC will release The Devil-Doll or The Unholy Three in October. https://s3.amazonaws.com/criterion-production/product_images/2030-ba7eefa3ad5a2a35a6f5275ed961aba8/hOZoF4bCF7IzDcERWmpFpAgST1yAxY_large.jpg

Great list! I would buy blu rays of Twentieth Century, Ball of Fire and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn in a minute. I have a bunch of these titles on DVD, but a blu ray would be exciting. I feel like "The More the Merrier," "Ball of Fire," "Captain Blood," and "Twentiet...
