Watching some old classics recently....

 

Harvey (1950) Great film and Jimmy Stewart is fantastic as Elwood P Dowd.

Gaslight (1940) Atmospheric psychological "thriller". Very, very good.

Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) Just a great film, I like Cary Grant and he is marvelous in this.

The African Queen (1951) a great film, superb acting from Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn.

 

I would recommend these to anyone that likes their cinema with great writing and no CG!

Watched Alien Covenant...loved it and thought it was one of the best tbh.

 

Hated Arthur and switched it off after 30 minutes.

 

Also saw Snatched..bit daft but actually quite good and as a comedy...it was actually funny which makes a change these days.

 

Up next is Going in Style and The Mummy

Fences bored the hell out of me.

 

Slowest film ever however the acting was brilliant.

 

It was like watching an intense stage drama with one built scene.

 

I can understand that.  I think that's how I felt about it too, great acting and I suppose it was more about the emotive story behind it.

I know lists of stuff are really no gauge on a film, song etc, but just saw this on the BBC website. A top 100 list of film comedies. No place for See No Evil, Hear No Evil... just marks this top 100 out for the crock of shite it is.

Some right shite in that 100......some like it hot number 1  :o Haven't seen it in a while but sure I never laughed once........Life of Brian for me.

Thank you Al. You’ve saved a couple of hours of life. Me and the Mrs were thinking of going to go see it in London one afternoon next week, only cos we usually take in a film when we’re down there and that was the one she suggested. But when our 16 year old saw it last weekend, she didn’t rate it so that was an alarm bell and so you’ve just killed the possibility. It can get to fuck. Never got into Agatha Christie anyway. Bitch.
