The Illustrated Man (1969) starring Rod Steiger. A collection of short stories from Ray Bradbury.
I've seen it. My memory of it is pretty hazy but I enjoyed it.

I saw it only a couple of years ago. I remember a story about love in the future but the other parts didn't seem to come back to my memory until I watched the trailer. I've seen a couple episodes of Night Gallery. The only one that I remember right now is one where a sailor falls in love with a mermaid and seeks the aid of a gypsy in order to turn here into a more regular woman.

The Assassination Bureau Saw it on TV back New Years day '80 or '81 after the parade and before the game. Throughout the '80s and '90s I searched every video store close to where I lived for a copy I wanted to see the complete film, no luck. I did both the Netflix and Blockbuster DVD by mail trials and put the movie on queue but they didn't have copies either, I searched every place that sells DVDs around me can't find a copy either. Finally went to a Barnes and Noble and they ordered it for me arrived in 3 days, but cost more than I usually pay for DVDs. Been watching it on New Years day for the last 3 years.

Down With Love (2003). Kudos to Renée Zellweger for getting through this monologue (and to Ewan McGregor for his reaction at the end of it).

One Wonderful Sunday (1947)--before Akira Kurosawa became renowned for Ikiru, Ran, Rashomon, Throne of Blood, etc., he made this bittersweet romantic drama about a young couple who want to get married in post-war Japan, but they don't even have the money to spend on a weekend date. It's generally dismissed as one of Kurosawa's early, lesser efforts, but it's my favorite of all his films and I wish it were better known.
Queen of Hearts (1989)--a sweet, charming comedy about an Italian family in England which is reminiscent of Chocolat, My Life as a Dog, and Cinema Paradiso.
A Bird of the Air (2011)--I really enjoyed the novel by Joe Coomer, The Loop, and was looking forward to this adaptation. It opened in two theaters, made a few thousand dollars, and then disappeared, so I assumed it must have been pretty disappointing. I managed to find it when it aired in the middle of the night on one of the cable channels that featured indie movies, and I found it to be a decent adaptation of the book.

That's a cute choice. I've never seen it, but as I get older, the less Neil Simon bothers me. lol I used to watch "Max Dugan Returns" on HBO all the freakin time. I had a little crush on Matthew Broderick in that movie. I've got a couple obscure films that people don't talk about, of course both were made in 1971. "Sunday, Bloody Sunday", which has an atmosphere of melancholy that gets me every time, love the film's score. And "X, Y and Zee", which has razor sharp, clever, zesty dialogue that would make Quentin Tarantino jealous, two excellent performances by Michael Caine and Susannah York and Elizabeth Taylor's sublime comic turn as the most entertaining bitch ever. Forget about "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", which was fraudulent dramatics. This one's the real deal! Woah!!!

That also looked like a real deal, drop dead, in the moment acting performance from Taylor without any phony histrionics or pretense behind the technique of the character she appears to be playing. Gotta see that! Just wanted more. I am so pleased, almost giddy, Toasted Cheese, by your response to that short clip with Taylor running away with it! Her performance here is stunning. I don't know how she did it, but like you said, there is not a moment of phoniness here... A force of nature! It's so particularly nice when another person responds just as you did... And there are many, perhaps five or six, more scenes like this one where you just cannot take your eyes of her...

I had a little crush on Matthew Broderick in that movie. Mr. Dirt, think I may have asked this recently, have you seen Biloxi Blues with Broderick and Walken? In honor of a line in this beguiling and bittersweet film, there is not one wrong thing with the whole picture. Yes, "Biloxi Blues" got a mention a few weeks ago. I thought I'd never seen it, and after your citing it, I went to Youtube to check it out and they showed the clip that focused on the two guys making out in the latrine, and I did remember that part. So I guess I have seen it, or at least that part, anyway. When I have a couple extra dollars, I will have to rent it out. I never saw CW be so mean before!

John Frankenhiemer’s The Challenge starring Scott Glenn & Toshirō Mifune. The best of what I feel Frankenheimer offered audiences in the 80's. I like 52 Pick Up and Dead Bang, but I have a soft spot for The Challenge. All the elements blended well together and Glenn was perfect as our anti-hero. ‘Dead Bang’ was a good one. I don’t particularly care much for Don Johnson, but he was perfect here. Loved his banter with the redneck sheriff. A lot of amusing set-pieces (eg vomit scene) staged by Frankenheimer too.

I have a copy of Untamed Heart. It was the movie which made me fall in love with Marisa Tomei. But I like the movie because it illustrates how sometimes we misjudge and dismiss people because we just don't know them. And sometimes love comes from the most unexpected places. All the time he and his baboon heart were right there under her nose.
