Impressive and eclectic. Silence of the Lambs 2 1/2 stars? I would have wanted to see how you reviewed it. And, add Putney Swope to your next round of viewing. Later
  2. If you can get past the shtick of the host, the original Frankenstein will be shown on Svengoolie tonight. Later

  5. He'll be battling my adoptee Andres Regnault on his way up through the system. I think he also has the stuff to make it to the bigs. BTW, you forgot the underwhelming Doc Doyle on that list. Later
  6. My trigger finger, first reaction was R.Lee Ermey. But my heart goes to Warren Oates. Ermey's (as well as all the others')troops were obedient. Even Lee Marvin's were reluctantly obedient, but he was an officer. His D.I was Richard Jaeckel, and he wasn't that significant a character. Oates had a different type of soldier to deal with. And I can say from experience (I trained troops) that his were the closest to a hyperbolic reality. So only two get my vote. And if I had to vote for only one, it would be Oates. Thanks for the nod, Edgy. Later

  8. I was (technically) in the 1980 version of Dressed to Kill (Brian De Palma). There is a scene that includes a shot of the actors in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and I was in a bus that was driving up 5th Avenue while the cameras were rolling. They did not ask our names to list us in the credits. Lunchie, I would be happy to have a speaking role in your movie as a sleazy show-biz type. I was not in the 1940's Sherlock Holmes movie with the same title. Later

  10. Baseball America Almanac says he was the All-Star catcher in the Appalachian League. Sky's the limit. Later
  11. Am I the only one who believes that Hollywood giving all those awards to a South Korean film is their way of giving a huge middle finger to Agent Orange and his favorite dictator? Even though it may not have been their intention, it certainly did. Later
  12. Sounds like the movie Troop Beverly Hills, about an unlikely group of girl scouts (wealthy, in this case) competing to win a jamboree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troop_Beverly_Hillshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troop_Beverly_Hills And that one was predictable, but cute. Later
  13. During World War I, a message must be delivered to the front to prevent 1,600 British troops from running into an ambush.
  14. Found it! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195927/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_plhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195927/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl Later
  15. I saw 1917 today and it reminded me of a movie I saw in the 1950s. It was a black and white war movie (Korea ?) in which a Colonel has to get a complex message to troops at the front. He calls upon a nerdy GI because the soldier has a photographic memory and can recite the message word-for-word. (I think it was because they could not use their radios.) He was to be accompanied by an experienced solder. The soldier briefly scans the message and then recites it, ending with "Good luck (signed) Colonel Lockwood". It was a comedy/ army farce and I can't remember the actors or any of the stars. I thought the nerd was like a Sid Meton, but it wasn't. Can any of you provide the title? Please? Later
  16. 1917 was brilliantly directed and photographed. If the cinematographer doesn't win the Oscar, they shouldn't award one. Later
  17. =whippoorwill post_id=30119 time=1579458002 user_id=79] Okay so if you discount all that errorship, can you agree the performances were good? Plus did you really know all that stuff when you walked into the theatre?
  18. =whippoorwill post_id=30054 time=1579379953 user_id=79] Watched it today and I don't know what the eff you guys were watching but I thought it was sensational
  19. And there was the "best Hitchcock movie he never made" - Charade. (Directed by Stanley Donen) I wonder what Hitchcock thought of it. Later
  20. Benjamin Grimm wrote: Any silent movies stand out for you? I particularly like The Crowd. Also, Sunrise, and The Big Parade. My son really likes The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Abel Gance's Napoleon and Sergei Eisenstein's Thunder Over Mexico. Later
  21. Vic, do you agree with me about Man and a Woman on the car movie list? Later
  22. Did anyone mention A Man and a Woman (1966)? Later
  23. I love the black and white movies of the 30-50s - Sherlock Holmes, Boston Blackie, Charlie Chan, Orson Wells, Fred and Ginger, and those wonderful movies my friends and I called "BWPs" (British War Pictures, but I include Ginga Din in that category). I also liked the monster flicks; the hokey ones (Creature from the Black Lagoon, It Came From Beneath the Sea, The Blob) and the classic ones (Frankenstein, Dracula, King Kong) and the serials (Don Winslow of the Navy, Flash Gordon, Tim Tyler's Luck and Gene Autry's Radio Ranch. I loved TCM and scan the listings for the other cable channels to see when they might be on. Later
  24. A scouting report: (A lot of which we've said in this thread) https://www.amazinavenue.com/2019/11/6/20944012/11-best-mets-minor-league-hitters-i-saw-this-year-8-c-andres-regnaulthttps://www.amazinavenue.com/2019/11/6/20944012/11-best-mets-minor-league-hitters-i-saw-this-year-8-c-andres-regnault Later
  25. Anyone with a family name that is a size for a bottle of Champagne has greatness written all over him. Later
