Last Non Western You Watched

The Getaway (1972). Probably McQueen's best film along with Paillon (1973).

Over the weekend I saw: Kelly's Heroes, Where Eagles Dare, Ken Burns: The War, and several more episodes from the 1st half of Season 2 of; COMBAT!

Oh and before coming to the library today, TCM played: White Heat w/ James Cagney. White Heat is fast becoming one of my top two most favorite James Cagney movies.

the barbarian and the geisha great movie to watch

Two classics,

It's a Wonderful life (James Stewart), sweet, an enjoyment to watch

All about Eve (Bette Davis), as good, but less a plesure to watch for all the cheating and scheming. The short apperance of Marilyn Monroe is electrifying. She may be the only feminine female actor I enjoy watching for her own sake, not just because she makes a good contrast to the male hero

His Private Secretary - nice movie.

Young Winston Great Picture with Simon Ward and Robert Shaw

Mike

Watched on AMC this morning: The Longest Day. After that, I watched the first part of Hellfighters, then watched the noontime news and finished another episode of COMBAT!

The Boston Strangler. Probably Tony Curtis' best ever peformance.

The Last Man On Earth

Classic Vincent Price.

Superb Ealing Studios Thriller Dead of Night

Mike

Dog Day Afternoon. Another superb film from Sidney Lumet (Serpico, Equus, Network etc). A shame that Pacino didn't make that many films when he was younger, but then he always considered himself to be primarily a stage actor.

The Misfits - Gable and Monroe.

This was the first time I have seen it. It's in my replay list

Also, pulled up the original 3:10 to Yuma on ComCast cable's OnDemand service. Never saw this movie before either.

In the Valley of Elah This movie left me with a foul taste in my mouth. It didn't put a negative light on the military, but it didn't exactly lift them up either. Tommy Lee Jones played the part well. It was the end of the movie that made me pretty mad. Jones put the U.S. flag upside down at the end of the movie and wrapped duck tape around the pole with the rope taped up with the pole to not let it come down for a very long time. I knew this was a controversial film but it wasn't that bad, no more than usual from the left, and the performance was great. Charlize Theron was also great in her part in the movie. As for Susan Sarandon, she didn't politicize this movie. Her part was pretty small.

Go at your own risk. I will not recommend this movie.

Cheers

right after stagecoach the fighting seebees. it took some time to get back to work around the house.:teeth_smile:

Little Miss Sunshine. Not a bad movie.

Saw on Friday: Tora Tora Tora--a very well made rendition of the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. I need to see Midway; next. Sat: The Fighting Seabees, and then Pork Chop Hill. I never tire of both. When I got back home--I watched serveral episodes of the Leave-it-to-Beaver marathon on TVLand. AS I was (and still am) down with the Flu, I spent all-day Sunday watching either 1st Season episodes of Andy Griffith or-more LitB marathon-including the original pilot for the show that did not have Tony Dow (as Wally) nor Hugh Beaumont (as Ward Cleaver). I didn't feel like sitting long enough to watch a full-fleged movie. Monday Morn: a few more episodes from 1st season of The Andy Griffith Show.

Yes it certainly wasn't as slow and boring as the original.
