III is post Scarface for a start and the real shouty Pacino had arrived. Yeah it's no classic, to put it extremely mildly. I'll take the movie Insomnia over this any day. That was a good one.

soulcrusader78 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The Petrified Forest from 1936, starring Leslie Howard and Bette Davis; also with Humphrey Bogart. Excellent film. Great film noir drama. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soulcrusader78 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Little Caesar, 1931. Second time I've seen this. Better than the first time. An okay film, not a great one to me. Robinson's acting's the best thing in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THUE Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Dark Waters. Good film, not great. Mark Ruffalo is a solid actor. Tim Robbins is in it and is not good. This is a lawyer working on suing Dupont for poisoning the water in West Virginia. True Story. Also re-watched Spotlight yesterday. Fantastic film. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder Roadie Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The Passenger. Atmospheric, dark and fascinating. My first experience of Antonioni, that shot at the end ... I ll be watching more. Nicholson excellent, Maria Schneider beguiling.... superb film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Should go for the Trifecta with "The Big Short" Dark Waters was fabulous! So was Spotlight and The Big Short. I just read a couple of articles (not movie related) that some are starting to short the US stock market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MacBruce Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The Full Monty on TV last Friday night. Still one of the funniest films I have ever seen. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soulcrusader78 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Pickup On South Street, from 1953. What a GREAT film noir. Just fantastic. Yes the era of the 'Red scare' may be dated but regardless this is just great. Richard Widmark is fantastic (and BTW, this was SO much better than watching it through you tube - which I gotta do sometimes - where it was 20 minutes longer! Containing no extra footage, of course). His performance to me one of the most kick-ass ones this side of Glenn Ford in The Big Heat (which will always rule to me) Jean Peters as Candy also gives an great performance, all the while being one of the most gorgeous women I've seen in a film noir this side of Jane Greer in Out Of The Past. But the best performance belongs to Thelma Ritter as Moe. She's incredible in this. This deserves a Blu-ray release (not counting the region B one, which anyway supposedly looks NO better than this) This is a really great looking DVD too. Loved it!

soulcrusader78 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 High Sierra from 1941 with Ida Lupino and Humphrey Bogart. Great movie, great message. How to be truly free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

soulcrusader78 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Marked Woman from 1937. Bette Davis is good but Bogart is really superb in this. (Strangely he looks younger here than I've ever seen him, though this was a year after The Petrified Forest) Very good film. Fine entertainment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although he seemed to be taking it a bit more seriously than John FOrd was with that awful 30 minute 'interlude' inolving James Stewart. I have always seen him otherwise in his later roles , CA made me want to catch more of his younger roles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soulcrusader78 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 One of the greatest fucking movies of all TIME! Scarlet Street, with Edward G. Robinson. Absolute magnificence. I hadn't seen this in a while and it was a treat! I LOVE this movie!!!!!! One of my very favorites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soulcrusader78 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 A movie about how love REALLY is, often. Chasing after those who don't care and not caring about those who do. The fucking human nature, of stupid-ass people. Great movie. My third or fourth viewing. The BONDAGE, the way we become in bondage to others. FUCK LOVE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soulcrusader78 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The greatest movie ever made. The Night Of The Hunter, from 1955. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
