The Place Beyond the Pines is, IMHO, a great movie. What did you think of it Chalice? And here is a movie with Scarlett Johannson I highly recommend. Check out A Love Song for Bobby Long.
I had heard of it when it came out, but never watched it before. I didn't really know anything about it, so the three-part story structure of it came as a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, obviously movies generally have three-part structures (beginning, middle, end), but the fact that this was told from three different perspectives - a different one for each part - intrigued me. I'm not sure which part is regarded as the 'best' by most people, but I think I was most interested during the middle part with Bradley Cooper's character. Thanks for the Scarlett Johansson movie recommendation. If it's ever on TV here, I'll try to remember to check it out.

One of those movie I watch too infrequently and say "Damn, I forgot how good that movie is". Yes. Sometimes you think a movie you haven't watch a long time thinking it doesn't hold up anymore, and then you watch it again and realize why you like it in the first place.
This happened to me back in February when I just want to watch a movie I have seen, so just I randomly picked this one on Netflix since I haven't seen it in ages. Just brilliant! I love the dialogue, the story, just about everything about it.

I don't know why I don't watch Von Ryan's Express as much as I do. It's really a damned good movie. a war movie that has comic moments (the burning of the uniforms), some harsh moments (the Germans shooting the wounded) and becomes a great action film. Not the biggest fan of Frank Sinatra but he was great in VRE. And Trevor Howard shines, but he shines in everything.
Clockwork Orange, I have seen that one a lot. And don't regret a single one. Viddie well, I did

One of my favorite movie posters, and not just by Cronenberg and his classic sci-fi/horror releases of the 70s and 80s. I might include (at least the original) and maybe the sequels (or spin-offs more likely) during the upcoming Horror challenge, as these intense and chilling Cronenberg films are perfect for a late fall evening.

These were what I saw this week from my library-I'm going through the 70's films. Most were OK- 2 were great (to me).
Fantastic planet- a little more childish than I expected DVD - 2016 | French Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Harold and Maude- saw the ending coming 1/2 hr before it happened. Too bad it links living fully with suicide- this is not true DVD - 2012 | Widescreen. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
The Day of the Jackal- tedious and the ending is so predictable DVD - 1998 | Widescreen ed. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia- lost realism with magical gun shooting abilities by hero - mindless violence DVD - 2005 | Widescreen. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Black Christmas [1974]- this was supposed to be scary DVD - 2006 Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Bruce Lee Double Feature The Way of the Dragon ; Game of Death- Lee at least isn't pretentious- cheesy fun DVD - 2013 Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Dark Star- was supposed to be funny but I found it boring The Spaced-out Space Ship DVD - 2001 | Widescreen special ed. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Hair- arrogant, rude hippies show how morally bankrupt they are- only one good song DVD - 1999 | Widescreen and fullscreen versions. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
3 Women- wonderful, slow build psychological drama will get this one DVD - 2004 | Widescreen version. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Logan's Run- oh so predictable- every minute DVD - 2007 Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
The Shootist- John Wayne has made the exact same movie 100 times. Since his character had cancer I held out hope he might break the mold for once- but no- just the same old Wayne beats everyone in the end DVD - 2001 | Widescreen ed. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
The Black Stallion- scenic and predictable- but at least it tried to break out of 70's cynicism DVD - 1998 | Widescreen version, Standard version. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
The tin drum- beyond irritating child ruins the movie Die Blechtrommel DVD - 2004 | Widescreen ed. | German Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Mean Streets- decent mob fare stuff DVD - 2004 | Special ed., Widescreen version Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three- the best movie out of the lot by far (for me). I was solidly entertained the whole way- love old NYC characters will get this one also DVD - 2000 | 1974 version widescreen ed. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Smokey and the Bandit- probably good after 3 six-packs of beer are downed- unfortunately I was sober DVD - 2017 | 40th anniversary edition Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
The Bad News Bears 4-Movie Collection- foul mouthed kids ruin any chances I cared about them overcoming any odds DVD - 2017 | Widescreen ed. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
The Warriors- this works as a comedy. Is it a comedy? DVD - 2005 | Ultimate director's cut Widescreen. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
Sleuth- a modern film slipped in my set as they sent the wrong version. Clever, but I wouldn't watch it again. DVD - 2008 | Widescreen. Checked out on: Sep 21, 2021
American Graffiti- what horrible camera work. I could hardly tell what what going on many times in the muddy darkness and auto headlight glare. I didn't care about any of the characters or find any interesting. Watching this was like chewing gum.
Lots of OK films but at least I got 3 Women and Pelham 1,2,3 out of it

M*A*S*H - haven't seen it in years - Gary Burghoff (RADAR) was the only one who made it to the TV series.
