I watched the French flick, 'Les Yeux Sans Visage' (Eyes Without a Face)' 1959. Creepy!

I watched the Prince and the Showgirl last night. Lovely movie, it may be my favorite of Marilyn's movies.

OMG....that's one of the creepiest movies ever made IMO. I watched Le Scaphandre et le Papillon the other week.....(The Diving Bell and the Butterfly).....that was a very disturbing movie. The French do a great job at cinema - they should, after all, they did actually invent it. They just don't do glamour or action very well, with one exception being anything starring Catherine Deneuve. I have no idea how old she is now, but she still looks great and is in my top 20 dreamgirl wishlist LOL
I'm a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan, and I didn't last 10 minutes into the Hollywood movie...it irked me! *lol* As a avid reader of the A. Doyle novels and stories, I just couldn't swallow this flick! I have heard that the BBC series is good, people seem to really enjoy it!

Hi roadierfl, definitely a creepy flick. Unsettling, unnerving..etc. I haven't seen The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the title sounds very Dario Argento inspired. I'll have to check it out!

I too am a big fan, having read all the stories and novels a few times over. I thought it was an enjoable movie, but not good "Sherlock Holmes". After years of being irked, I finally realized you have to look at films and the books they are "based on" as two totally different beasts, or you will always be disapointed.
It's about the editor of Elle magazine, his wife and child, and his mistress after he gets a seizure and ends up paralyzed. He's totally cognizant of his living hell and ge figures out he can wink in one eye, and his nurse writes down his autobiography one letter at a time.

Despicable Me. Loved it!
All That Heaven Allows followed by Cat People - ironing never felt sooo good!
Defiance (2008)
What a strange mix of genuinely interesting story and overly-canned Hollywoodism! I enjoyed the film and I believe it was entirely saved by two decent actors who allowed the story to tell itself. Otherwise, I could see where the directors and producers wanted so badly to imitate/emulate other big money Hollywood dramas, and thereby ruin the film. I enjoyed it, I'd recommend it to a friend.
I love that this film was based on a little known true story. Daniel Craig does an excellent job in it.
I watched 'Cat People' not too long ago. ;0 The sequel, 'The Curse of the Cat People' isn't very good and doesn't fit much at all with its predecessor. An odd film!

Ooohh, I disagree! Whilst I agree the 'sequel' really has nothing to do with the original at all, I think it's actually better in some respects. Its's really a different animal entirely, a beautifully shot, atmospheric story about childhood and innocence.
Cat People was a strange film. Can't say that I've seen Curse of The Cat People to compare
