Re: I Just Watched...

I do not care for THE GODFATHER. I've never seen THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 I’m curious as to why you don’t like the Godfather. I’m not mad at this opinion mind you, it’s *perfectly valid one.* I’m OK with it but I thought Marlon Brando sucked. I’m not always a good predictor of what people will, and...

ALSO ALSO

Yes, THE BEGUILED is great...

there is SOMETHING INTRIGUING about PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW even if it is a confounding movie on multiple levels.

i recently rewatched PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK and while I don't have a clue what it's really all about, I don't dislike it.

Re: I Just Watched...

THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 (1974) which belongs in the top 10 for the time. I myself am a big fan of early '70s Schlock like DEATHDREAM or GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE or FLESHPOT ON 42nd STREET ... Yeah, PELHAM 123 is really good, even if it is from the guy who later directed JAWS: THE REVENGE. You might li...

Re: I Just Watched...

i swear I'll shut up about DEATH ON THE NILE but I have three final musings and an extremely esoteric observation to make, but SUE ME, I'm sharing them: 1. anyone else wonder if they threw LOUISE BORGET''S BODY to THE CROCODILES? 2. What if DR LUDWIG BESSNER was onto something and ARMADILLO URINE I...

Re: I Just Watched...

[quote=Hibi post_id=200675 time=1716226502 user_id=849 The early 70s was not a good period for movies. As the 70s progressed it got better. [/quote] See, i feel the exact opposite- as someone who has come late to viewing films of the 70s, the early 70s and especially 1971 have a lot of interesting ...

What movie character was named Alma? I seem to remember one.
MISS PATRICIA NEAL in HUD played a character named ALMA- for which she won THE ACADEMY AWARD

Roman Brady ? All I can think of is “Kristen” but I didn’t think she came around until the mid 1990s… (Lexie too) EDIT- wait I see where I misread your post- sadly, while I am well-versed in days of our lives during the 1990s, it was impossible for me to catch it during the 1980s because it was on ...

Devil Girl from Mars (1954) This movie is available for viewing for free with commercials on: TubiTV. 8/12.6 ALSO ON TUBI TV (I am pretty sure, but I could be wrong) is the RIFFTRAX VERSION of DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS with BRIDGET NELSON and MARY JO PEHL, but honestly, besides the line "LET'S BREX...

Re: I Just Watched...

Any discussion of FASCINATING YEARS IN FILM would not be complete without a mention of 1971 - a year with a lot of innovative, daring, violent, visually dazzling films- where the spirit of THE GOLDEN ERA had a FULL ON COLLISION with the present, and I don't think any film encapsulates how MARVELOUSL...

Re: I Just Watched...

At the risk of sounding like Jimmy Carter, there was a "malaise" that settled in over films in the second half of the '70s. This is not to say that there weren't some excellent titles that were still released in these years. What is true though is though that there were a convergence of e...

Re: I Just Watched...

Howcum Brooklyn is a fairly popular name but Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island aren't? It's because there is a character named Brooklyn (actually Brook Lynn) on General Hospital. Soap operas have driven the popularity of many names. One of my cousins was named after a character from DAYS ...
