The 39 Steps--more vintage Hitchcock for me......

 

[Benzadmiral]

"Rabbit Hole," the recent drama with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart, and Diane Wiest as NK's mother. It's not the sort of film I'd have sought out if Nicole weren't in it, but it's a good drama.

 

[J.Pinkman]

Has any one watched it ?

 

[Lady Day]

'The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra', totally marvelous Ed Wood-tastic fun. Highly recommended!

Know what, rather than searching YT myself, I'll just let you do the grunt work. BTW, I like comedies...

Okay Tomasso... here you go....

Love is News (1937) with Tyrone Power, Loretta Young and Don Ameche. Really cute and funny.

"The Hidden Fortress" which only confirmed what I already thought about Kurosawa. He was a freakin' genius.

Wasn't that the one Lucas based Star Wars upon?

That's genius - I saw it in NYC back in 2004, a screening with Q&A with some of the cast. Really good fun.

Indeed, that is held to be so. The quarreling peasants are supposed to be the inspiration for C3PO and R2D2. The Mifune character is the basis, to a degree, for Han Solo, and the lost princess is, well, the lost princess of the Lucasverse.

And completely trivial, the alphanumeric name R2D2 is supposedly drawn from Lucas' visit to an editing room where a notation for "reel 2, edit 2" was observed and later morphed into the character's name.

My Bill (1938) with Kay Francis. Absolutely darling movie with a great ending

You're welcome darlin'
I'll let you know when it's another comedy

 

[Miss Moonlight]

Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid, 1948

Now watching Miranda, 1948, a British mermaid film. Then the sequel, Mad About Men, 1954.

I'm on a mermaid kick. They're all on Netflix instant.

 

[Chas]

Yes, it was. Kurosawa's films also influenced westerns - Clint Eastwood's characters in "A Few Dollars More" and "A Fistful of Dollars" are directly drawn from Mifune's character in "Yojimbo" and "Sanjuro". "A Fistful Of Dollars" is pretty much a shot-for-shot remake of "Yojimbo".

 

[Lady Day]

Rabbit Proof Fence, again.

I really like that movie.

hey rue, just had to thank you for the YT links you've been posting. Haven't watched a single recommendation yet but I am currently working my way through The Glass Key with Alan Ladd & Veronica Lake after browsing through the playlist of one of the YT channels you have shared. Ran out of time on my commute, so I can watch the second half tomorrow night!
