And there you go...Great film.

I have watched it many times and always am greatly entertained. A very welcome day on TCM.

"A Few Dollars More"

A good one. Now watch the other two of the trilogy.

A documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, about octogenarian sushi chef Jiro Ono.

 

[DesertDan]

That is a fantastic documentary!

Saw Jersey Boys when it premiered yesterday. Several fine cars of the early 1950's featured in the first part of the movie, including a really impressive Packard used by the local mob boss. Music and acting were not too bad, either.

Ocean's Eleven, Bullitt, and Key Largo all on TCM, today.

Dr. No. Always love to watch this. Filmed the year I was born (1962) which was also the year they built Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine. No connection, of course.

I saw it recently and by chance and it reminded me of how well it has held up as entertainment and, also, as a style time capsule. Really enjoyed watching it.

Ocean's Eleven, Bullitt, and Key Largo all on TCM, today.

Dern it!
I was on the road for 12hrs and missed them.
I've got all 3 on DVD, but it's easier to put them on the DVR, than to look for these DVD's.

Hi

I finally watched Flying Leathernecks with John Wayne. Good movie, but you already know the formula, just not who it all happens to.

Later

^^^^^ Man I love that Avatar of yours... Real "Oklahoma Bad Man"!!!! As for the movie... it's alright... more realistic than most John Wayne WWII epics.

"I Wake Up Screaming" (1941) with Victor Mature, Betty Grable, Carole Landis and Laird Cregar as a very creepy Inspector Ed Cornell. It was remade, almost word for word, in 1953 as "Vicki" with Richard Boone as Ed Cornell and Jeane Crain as Jill Lynn.

Key Largo

 

[Zombie_61]

Ocean's Eleven, Bullitt, and Key Largo all on TCM, today.

I missed Ocean's Eleven, but watched Bullitt (for the umpteenth time) and recorded Key Largo so I can watch it later when the wife isn't around to constantly interrupt it.

Non Stop with Liam Neeson

 

[Worf]

A very young Oliver Reed in Hammer's "Curse of the Werewolf" on the 'Goolie. Truly one of the iconic werewolf films of the '60's.

"What a Woman" with Rosalind Russell, Brian Aherne and Willard Parker. The forced-from-the-getgo plot has Russell playing a talent agent hired to find an actor to play the star of a book she promoted for a recluse author. And, and this is beyond forced, the author is the only person she can find that fits the actor's physical features. Meanwhile, Aherne is a smug magazine writer forced by his editor to do a successful-woman-in-business piece on Russell.

Basically, a half-screwball comedy takes flight with a love triangle developing between the three of them (Willard loves Russell, Russell does not reciprocate, but has unacknowledged feelings for Aherne, who is fighting his own feelings for Russell). I won't spoil the story if you happen to catch it, but you will have figured it out very, very early on anyway.

The only two things to argue for the picture is Russell - still firing off dialogue at the same warp speed as "His Gal Friday" and unintentionally stealing scenes by dint of talent and personality - and the period details of the sets and clothes.

I caught this on "GetTV" some buried-deep-in-the-thousands channel on cable that plays some awesome classic and obscure old movies (some that I've never seen on TCM or elsewhere), but with commercials that segue like toast popping up (they have to work on that). Despite my carping about the commercials (which I skip by DVR anyway), I am really glad to have another source (than TCM) for old movies.

On Friday saw the new X-Men movie with youngest Hood. It was fun explaining some of the 70s references to him. If I may, I would like to grouse about the inclusion of profanity in a super-hero movie. More than ever I am reminded that PG-13 is the new R. Bummed that I was sort of responsible for exposing my kid to rotten language.
Also caught, on the Warner Archive, Conflict (1945) with Bogey, Sidney Greenstreet, and Alexis Smith. Very fun sort of "psychological" thriller.

Curse of the Werewolf became my favorite Hammer film on the first viewing. I wish they'd give it a proper DVD/Blu-Ray release here in the U.S..

The Railway Man (2013). Best modern movie I've seen for years. Vastly superior to most modern products.
