Re: I Just Watched...

Titicut Follies (1967) TCM 8/10 A documentary shot at a Massachusetts institution for the criminally insane. Once seen, it is hard to forget the raw, explicit moments shown in this film Anyone else see this, what do you think? I'm glad it exists for documentation sake, but I can't watch it. I think...

Re: Least and Most Favorite Movie of the week

Again, thanks for this thread. I like that you italicize the titles, but it's also easier to read if you start a new paragraph for each movie. I got a little confused (but blame my addled brain) RRR is getting surprising critical buzz, from both the National Board of Review and the New York Critics ...

Re: I Just Watched...

Re-watched WHAT'S UP, DOC? (1972) which remains a comedy fave. Hard to believe this film is now 50 years old! Thanks for bringing this up! I only saw this for the first time during Bogdanovich's spotlight on TCM....2 years ago? Sure beats what I tried watching last night, ZARDOZ '74. No amount of S...

Re: I Just Watched...

Our tastes seem to be at odds lately. It's fine. I learned long ago that the internet is the place you go to find out everything you like actually sucks. I don't know what you mean by that, Lawrence.....but I couldn't get through the first BLADE RUNNER movie so I admire you BOTH! I'm not into actio...

Re: Guillermo del Toro's "Pinocchio"

It's on my Watch List.
Did you actually watch it or you just posting/linking someone else's comments?
I'd like to know what YOU thought.

Re: It's a Wonderful Life

I wish these Fathom Events were better publicized. A lot of people I know here attend them & I only hear about it afterwards. Not that I care so much. I'm lucky enough to be an hour away from two venues that screen classic movies. January 3rd we're going to the Eastman House to see NIGHT OF THE...

Re: It's a Wonderful Life

Yesterday my husband and I saw It's a Wonderful Life on the big screen, along with perhaps fifteen other people. Though Capra doesn't usually highlight his camera placement, I especially liked the scene at the railroad station where brother Harry unexpectedly arrives with a bride, thus dooming Geor...

Re: National Film Registry

Mardi Gras Carnival (1898) Cab Calloway Home Movies (1948-1951) Hairspray (1988) When Harry Met Sally (1989) I do think WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and HAIRSPRAY are outstanding movies that will be enjoyed through the ages. Do they really need a restoration? Or is this just a list of films deemed cultural...

Re: Eegah (1962)

Thanks scsu, I had no idea that was Arch Hall Sr. I do know the "Safari" look was all the rage in fashion around that time. As a 10 year old had an almost identical Safari style tunic shirt & short set with all the flap pockets just like he's wearing. (too young to wear the ruffly crop...

Re: I Just Watched...

Actually, I have seen The Exorcist. Strong performances from Jason Miller and Ellen Burstyn. Awfully nasty visuals in the second half, so much so that it was hard to look at the screen at points. I put off watching THE EXORCIST for years, afraid it would scare me. Those years were filled with comed...

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...

I was surprised to find that this movie was new to me. Sadly, I fell asleep and missed the entire thing. That's OK, it'll repeat in another few months.

Re: Top Ten Vincent Price Films

the people I told this to always seemed surprised to learn this, as they only ever thought of him in horror movies) Even those here only mention his horror films. Although not lead roles, Price was excellent in LAURA '44, LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN '45 and DRAGONWYCK '46 all with Gene Tierney. I always th...

My library has UNTIL THEY SAIL as well as A SUMMER PLACE! Figured I should see A Summer Place asap for that Christmas tree scene. I've avoided it because I know that sappy tune is going to stick in my head.
