Re: I Just Watched...

The Devils (1971) -- pardon my foul language, but HOLY SH!T. Oh, gosh. This is a hard film to deal with. On the one hand, it is clearly a well-crafted, well-acted film that grabs you and doesn't let go. On the other hand, it is downright appalling with some of the most obscene, blasphemous imagry i...

Re: Banned for Trolling

I just got the error message and I mostly read and rarely post. Hopefully, this gets resolved when they get a chance. They've built a nice community here.

Re: For Bronxgirl48: Mother's Day

I want to see THE MISFITS. It's screening at the Music Box in June. I have never seen Marylin Monroe or Montgomery Clift on the big screen. I wish they would screen BUS STOP. A PLACE IN THE SUN is scheduled for July. It's strange they haven't filled out the calendar for the rest of summer after Jun...

Re: For Bronxgirl48: Mother's Day

I hadn't heard of the Music Box, but checking on Cinema Treasures it dates back to 1929 and looks beautiful from the pictures. Nice it has survived all these years and is still showing movies. Wrigley Field is about a 5 minute walk from there. It's a great neighborhood and I have a friend who lives...

Re: For Bronxgirl48: Mother's Day

I treated by mom and my maternal grandmother to a screening of ROMAN HOLIDAY at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago on Mother's Day. Grandma will be 80 next month. https://i.imgur.com/SpUooRNm.jpg The Music Box Theater is lovely. I am excited for the Liz & Monty series they are running. I am going...

Brooks from The Shawshank Redemption.

A Star is Born: Both Fredric March and James Mason each in their own way, but I give the edge to James Mason.

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up

TERMS OF ENDEARMENT is listed as one of the movies that The Criterion Channel is streaming as part of its "Starring Shirley MacLaine" collection, but the movie is not there. https://i.imgur.com/0EnlzwVl.png It will be added June 1st. I don't think Criterion can add it until then because i...

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up

Due to your earlier post here, I was going to mention Never Been Kissed, which is a charming light comedy, probably one of Drew Barrymore's best vehicles. And Topsy-Turvy is a wonderful film . I made this list of my own personal 1999 favorites out of 77 films seen a few weeks ago. 1 The Straight St...

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up

No AMERICAN PIE ? No CRUEL INTENTIONS ? No SHE'S ALL THAT ??? Those are the movies that define 1999 cinematically, for me anyway. As a teenager in the 90s I used to watch She's All That and Cruel Intentions all the time. 10 Things I Hate about You was another great teen movie from 1999. I never rea...

Re: Streaming on Criterion in April.

Where can you see the list of movies that are leaving Criterion Channel at the end of the month? I couldn't find a spot with a general link, but here's one for April: https://www.criterionchannel.com/leaving-april-30 There is no general link for movies expiring at the end of every month.

Re: Bollywood - in US theaters

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...

Re: Robert Mitchum on Tuesdays

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...
