OT: Old Movies

[Bulldog Bruce]

I liked the new Midway quite a bit. The older one just has that time period where it is a little more heroic swagger in that old movie sort of way. Heck it's got Charlton Heston in it. The new one is more towards the modern realism. Both worth watching.

Is this a film of Kurt Vonnegut's book? If so, I never knew they made one.

Yes. Made in the 1972. Great movie. The book came out in 1969.

Did anyone mention "Bridge over the River Kwai"?

A short story:

One of the first dates I took the wife to see was "Love Story". We were standing in the lobby at the Jacksonian Theater when the show before ours ended. When the people came out, many were dabbing at tears and a few outright bawling. As I saw this, I thought, "Oh No. What the hell did I get myself into?" I survived.

There's three certain ladies in High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider that are timelessly beautiful. Lonesome Dove is the best "old" miniseries ever filmed. Fight me.

And if you're saying those movies are "old", 17 you, millenial**

Old for everyone else. I am just a Boomer so I will throw a 17 you back atcha.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I was thinking the same thing. Old movies are like Casablanca, Some Like It Hot, Mr. Roberts...

Forgot to list Casablanca. Doing the Maltese Falcon tonight.

I like to watch the older war movies

The Dirty Dozen
The Great Escape
Kellys Heroes
The Battle of the Bulge

Me too. The Guns of Navarone is one of my favorites from childhood.

Any Sean Connery James Bond movie.
Rear Window
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Jaws

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I like in the new one they really put an emphasis on the intelligence and code breaking.

I watched Star Trek II, "The Wrath of Khan" a few days ago. Khan reminded me a lot of today's Democrat Party.

The Great Escape,,
The original Magnificent Seven

Have Gun Will Travel

Since we're on the old kick... Been trying for years to find a place to download Have Gun Will Travel... I found some episodes on YouTube, but I want to own the entire series.

DVD feels like reel to reel these days. I think I chunked the blue ray player a few years ago in fact.

back to back episodes come on ME TV at 8:00AM CDT on Saturday mornings

You might also try Peacock or Tubi for on demand

I was just busting balls, brother, no malice intended. I knew you were my age or older

Enjoy Maltese Falcon, fine movie.

I watched Blazing Saddles the other day. Holy smokes that movie would make Hollywood and the media implode if they rewatched it. I'm shocked Jim Acosta hasn't asked President Trump if he watches it. Good god there are some funny moments in it.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

The Russians are Coming is soooooooo underrated. Emergency everybody to get from street.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

He was involved with the movie. Might even have a screenwriting credit if I remember right.

Nevermind I checked and he didn't. He did like it though.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

MAJOR CANCELLED.

You talkin about the loud mouth that got took twice?

 

[tenureplan]

So how do you like your Dale's?

 

[tenureplan]

I was going to go with 12 Angry men...probably cost $200 to make.

 

[RocketDawg]

I haven't seen that movie in years, since it was in theaters. I guess I need to find it and watch it before it becomes illegal. I don't even remember what it was about or why it's now controversial.

 

[RocketDawg]

The Graduate made me have inappropriate dreams about women three-times my age for years.
Airplane and Jaws were groundbreaking classics that will never be duplicated. I'm affraid the days of going to see in theatre what everyone is buzzing about are over.

Not so sure about that. When AMC theaters reopened earlier this week there were sellouts everywhere. Of course, they were practically giving tickets away.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

12 Angry Men is classic. The remake is actually pretty solid.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

They used to show it on BET a lot. Not kidding. It’s a satire of racism but people will clutch their pearls about the slurs used and not understand it.

Enjoy Maltese Falcon, fine movie.

I figured you were to begin with.

I've recently found a pretty interesting series on TCM on Saturday nights. The Essentials. A lot of old classics from different genres and different eras. Some are outstanding, some I just don't get. Watched the Maltese Falcon again a few weeks ago, 2001 A Space Odyessy was on but I skipped it since I saw it a few months ago. Early into John Wayne's The Searchers right now. Not a big western fan, but it's looking pretty good so far. Next week is North by Northwest.

the N word is said maybe 50 times. Richard Pryor was one of the writers.
