Last Non Western You Watched

I've just watched 'Its a wonderful life', what a superb movie.

In America. Great little movie of a family coming to New York. Catch it if you can.

Watching one of Ringo's (I think) favorites. Angels with Dirty Faces with James Cagney Humphrey Bogart and Pat O'Brien.

EXCELLENT!!!!!! Need I/we say more? I want the Warner Bros Gangster Collection -lots of Edward G. Robinson, Cagney and Bogie action.

Saturday night and then again on Sunday night, I watched: Dunkirk, Dunkirk, Dunkirk!

Did I happen to mention that on both Saturday and Sunday nights, I watched the great Sir John Mills movie: Dunkirk. :teeth_smile: This movie also stars: Sir Richard Attenborough and Bernard Lee.

The last scene in that movie just sends chills up my spine. Oh BTW, Ringo, have you ever seen Dunkirk?:teeth_smile:

The Naked Edge with Cooper and Debora Kerr. Cooper's last film, not usual but very interesting.

Watched "The Bourne Ultimatum". It was much better at home. I have a 50 inch plasma so it is not a "small" screen but watching that movie in the theater was unbearable with how they kept moving the camera. My wife and I both got very dizzy and my wife even had to leave because she was getting motion sickness so bad at the theater. But at home it was good to go, still lots of camera movement but no sickness.

Its a good story and great action.

We watched a real interesting movie last night, Amazing Grace, with what appears to be an all-British cast. An intriguing look at a piece of history I wasn't really aware of, regarding the subject of slavery and abolitionism from a British perspective.

Arthur, we thought of you as we saw all the interesting scenes with old ships in the ports. We didn't see any mention of Portsmouth in the credits, but Gloucester was mentioned.

I also watched The Bourne Ultimatum. I agree, it was choppy camera work at times, but still a great addition to the other two Bourne movies.

I bought mine at Walmart and half way through, it froze on me. I took it back and got another. That froze also. Took THAT one back and got another. Yup, that one froze also. TOOK THAT ONE BACK and got a forth one. That time it worked. Must have been a bad batch. I was getting very frustrated.

But it was worth the wait. Great movie.

Watched Wild Geese. Great Action movie still holds up well after 30 years.

:teeth_smile: Smarta$$ :teeth_smile: And dang, I thought you were talking about the last scene from "Dunkirk" that had been sending chills up your spine

Wow, that title is a blast to the past . . . I was in high school when that hit the theaters!

I'll always remember Slim Pickens as Maj. 'King' Kong riding that nuclear bomb like a horse as it was released from the B-52 bomb bay.

"The Prestige," a tale of two magicians who try to outdo each other around the 1890s. Elements of fantasy are involved.

Last night I watched: Harry and the Hendersons. Nice movie that believe it or not? is now 20 years old!

I don't know what the title was but it was shown on TCM a day or so ago. Anyway, I cought only part of it. It was an early movie paiting up: James Cagney and Pat O'Brien. It had something to do with the Cagney character who was in the US Navy as well as Pat O'Brien was. Cagney was in the USN's Airship detachment and he wanted nothing more than to be transferred out to ship duty. Anyway, it was a good early pairing of these two.

What Christmas season would be complete without at least one viewing of "A Charlie Brown Christmas? We fired up the ol' Playstation 3 (our DVD player died recently) and watched it. The Mrs. realized she was the same age as our youngest when she first saw it, back in '65. I was halfway through my senior in high school .

You have a PS3? Wow!!!!! Last night I watched the Simpsons movie and it was a bit better than I expected.

Actually, our two sons have a PS3. They pooled their savings and bought it. I don't even know how to use it . . . . They graciously let us use it to watch a DVD
