What are you streaming on Amazon, Netflix, etc?

Rio Bravo (1956). Faewsome. Very good western with John Wayne, Dean Martin and teen sensation, Ricky Nelson.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948). Cinema Box. Another very good western. Source of the misquote, “we don't need no stinkin badges.” What the character actually says is, "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!".

 

Slow Horses new season Ep 1 (great)

Left Overs. (Weird)

 

The Queen’s Gambit (2020). Netflix. I’m no chess player/fan but I greatly enjoyed this chess-themed short series. I originally intended to watch the seven part series over a week’s time but I was so captivated by the characters and storyline, I watched the series over a 48-hour period.

 

finished Lioness on Paramount. pretty good series.
(if you can stand Nicole Kidman looking like bad AI)

 

Sound of Hope The Story of Possum Trot

 

Mike Rowe Movie - Something to Stand For

 

Promising Young Woman (2020). Peacock. At first I thought this was going to be a chick flick - it was quite a bit more than that!

Once Upon a Time in America (1984). Internet Archive. Hated keeping track of the five or so timelines, going back and forth, for nearly four hours, but it moves quick-like.

 

What did you stream this on? Quick google search returned angel?

 

Yes Angel Studios. We are Guild members.

 

High Noon (1952). Prime. Good western. Won four of seven nominated Oscars. Film debut of Lee Van Cleef, although he had no speaking parts.

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949). OK site. Great cinematography, for which it won an Oscar. The usual mostly stereotypical view of Indians as hostiles. There is this line from the Duke’s character I like, “Yes, we are too old for war. But old men should stop wars.”

 

The Perfect Couple NF
1 episode left. The rich live by a different set of rules, especially on an island

 

yeah just finished and def being rich seems awesome

 

Days of Heaven (1978). PlutoTV.
Badlands (1973). OK site.

Both were directed by Terrence Malick and share many similarities - great cinematography (DoH won an Oscar for it), atypical love relationship, and young female narrator. Both are good watch but felt DoH ended rather abruptly.

 

Beauty and the Beast (1946). Max. First full length version of the fairy-tale. Has some good special effects.

A Matter of Life and Death (1946). OK site. Excellent opening sequence that hooks you in. But, I found many of the subsequent dialogue sequences boring and long winded. Like above, it also has good special effects for the time period.

 

Saw beetlejuice in theater and didn't enjoy.

Gangs of London on netflix just started

ann ricesnInterview with a vampire on netflix just finished and enjoyed it

 

Black Mass-NF. Whitey Bulger

 

Looks intriguing. Added it to my watchlist. Tnx.

 

Slow Horses, Apple TV+. English MI5 spy drama/thriller, really enjoying it so far

 

Hawaii Five-O (1969). Completed S2 - a little better than S1. Of the actors that later became popular, I most enjoyed Marion Ross’ episode, E15.

Other notable actors:
E2 Loretta Swit
E16 Christopher Walken
E20 Martin Sheen
E21 Tom Skerritt
E23/E24 Loretta Swit - different character from E2.

 

I’m a fan of the first season and am looking forward to watching the second. I just don’t like that it’s an one new episode a week so I’m waiting until there’s three or four episodes out before starting it…
