In the Heat of the Night on TCM. One of my all-time favorites. Steiger and Poitier are at the top of their game in this one.
:D

"Steiger and Poitier are at the top of their game in this one." +1, the intensity in their scenes is overwhelming. Maybe matched by a couple of the scenes in "Doubt" when Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman square off.

Saw that one too on TCM.
:D
My wife kept wondering why Sellers wasn't in the movie as much, and that's because TPP was the first in the series.
A Shot In The Dark really showed Sellers talent.
Of course the trivia section on IMDB has a lot of info we don't normally hear, and TPP wasn't for Sellers.
It was for Ustinov, while he was a good actor, I just can't see him in it.
Oddly enough, Ustinov didn't show on the first day of filming (for who knows why), so they hired Sellers.
The rest is history. :D

"We Are The Millers" - Low Brow but laugh out loud funny!!!! Didn't need the happy ending but it was MUCH better than expected. Catch it on the BO

The Doll Squad (1973).
Like a low budget Charlie's Angels.
With Francine York, Lisa Todd, Tura Satana, and Michael Ansara.
So how good is it?
Well it's a mix between Agent Double 007 (with Sean Connery's brother), and Angels Revenge (1978).
Not the worst movie I've seen, but not the best one either.
The 70's soundtrack is good. :D

Screwy, bally hooey Hollywood
The Ex-Mrs. Bradford (1936) with William Powell and Jean Arthur, doing sort of a Nick and Nora. Racetrack homicide with a creepy twist.
I showed Help! (1965) with those four guys to my wife and teen-aged son, and was disappointed that neither was in the least interested.

If it came from the 1970s it can't be good. :p

Got to give the man his due, Alexandre Dumas could write a good story. Imo nobody has made a good film of it.

Yes, if occasionally a bit long winded. This movie could have been titled "D'Artagnan meets the Three Stooges", but they were probably busy working for Columbia.

Vanessa Del Rio

I'll agree on the Firebird, Steely Dan (I can take them or leave them), and Parliment.
Well, I've only heard a few of their songs (Parliment), Flashlight being the most popular.
I'll see your Firebird, and raise you a Pam Grier and a Tamara Dobson (RIP). :D
Plus I'll throw in Bruce Lee, and Robert Hooks just for good measure.
I still like Trouble Man, especially the soundtrack. :cool2:
