What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Rocketblast]

Last night I watched Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid for the first time in years. Robert Redford is really rather a dish

 

[JimWagner]

Yesterday I watched The Radioland Murders. Lightweight, but funny.

dutch film, Black book

 

[Miss Golightly]

This Gun For Hire (1942)

 

[Lonny]

The last movie I saw in theatres was Get him to the Greek, but I recently purchased "The four feathers." I loved it.

I watched most of 'Millions Like Us' (1943)on TV at the weekend - missed the beginning unfortunately, but it completely distracted me from all the (boring) things I had to do. As my boyfriend said, nudging me (cheeky sod) "Oooooooh hairdos!".
He knows what I like!

Tombstone. It's still a good watch & Doc Holliday has the best lines in the movie

 

[Derek WC]

A movie from 1909, I'll have to get back to you on the name, it's about indians, and that's all I can remember from it, I don't watch a lot of movies, but when I do they are from before 1960.

Saw 'Centurian' tonight at the cinema. Not bad, not great. Somewhere in between. About the the legendary 9th Roman Legion that disappeared in the land ruled by the Picts in what we now call Scotland, during the Roman rule of the Brits.

Very brutal and bloody but I don't have a problem with that when it's in context.

Bad Day at Black Rock. Had seen this as a kid at a sort of young folks' auditorium that I think was designed to entertain your children while you gambled at Harrah's Club. It was echo-y.

I misremembered the climatic molotov cocktail scene: for decades I recalled it as flares or sticks of dynamite rather than an empty liquor bottle filled with gasoline thrown at Robert Ryan. The screaming of the Ryan character as he put out the flames in the sand was imprinted on my pre-adolescent mind.

edit: BDABR was last night. Today, Charlie Chan In Monte Carlo, the last Chan film with Warner Oland, and Charlie Chan in Honolulu, the first Chan film with Sidney Toler.

Harvey. I can't get enough of James Stewart. Elwood P. Dowd.... Nuff said.

 

[Smithy]

"Inception" at the flicks last night. It's by no means perfect but I enjoyed it although it does make your brain go round in circles a tad.

 

[DanielJones]

Angel Heart was on today. It has been a while.

Cheers!

Absolutely. I had the misfortune of stumbling across the remake on TV a couple of years ago and could only watch a few minutes as it was so very terrible. What is the point??? James Stewart is what makes Harvey brilliant.
Having watched The Man Who Knew Too Much and Rear Window in the last week I now want to watch all of my JS faves - Harvey, It's A Wonderful Life and Mr Smith Goes to Washington are probably on the top of my list. Anatomy of a Murder might be up there too with the Shop Around the Corner.

That's the one where Spencer Tracy beats the crap out of someone with his one arm, isn't it? I haven't seen that for ages, I don't remember much so it's about time I re-visited it. I really like Spencer Tracy, particularly his comedies with Katharine Hepburn, Adam's Rib probably being my favourite.

Which version of Four Feathers, the original or the Heath Ledger remake? I really enjoyed both, but preferred the original.

I saw Get Low in the theater over the weekend. For those who don't know, the film is very loosely based on an alleged real-life story of a 1930s Tennessee hermit who wanted to have his "funeral party" while he was still alive, starring Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, Lucas Black, Gerald McRaney, and Bill Cobb. Despite it's premise it's really a quiet, simple film, but the performances by Duvall and Murray are arguably the best of their careers. Definitely worth seeing but, unless you live in the Los Angeles or New York areas, it might be a while before it makes it's way into a theater near you.

Dr Ehrlich's Magic Bullet

Edward G Robinson is the guy who developed the cure for syphillis

Oh, for a bathing suit like hers!

Yes, indeed. Spencer uses one-handed judo to bring down Ernest Borgnine's hefty psycho-creep, while local cowpokes stare open-mouthed.
