My wife or daughter had never seen it. Suffice to say they loved it!
... Ok, I'm dying to know: "What happens to the redheads?!" 8->
She plays a nice girl character very different from her Irma Eckman character in a film in a far different genre than the world of Bond and Drummond. It's essentially in a similar vein to her co-star Dick Van Dyke's classic 1960s tv sitcom series which like this film was written by Carl Reiner who also has a small onscreen role. As early to mid 1960s comedy fluff it's pleasant if not outstanding. My only disappointment is that this was Sommer and James Garner's only film together and despite their billing their characters never directly interact.
It's a really good film, you guys.
I have been slowly going through the Craigs again and at least the first three just really hold up. He's so good and the films are just really good at pulling you along. Yes, the reasons for why any of the things in the tube chase happen make absolutely no sense. It's still a great sequence.
Looking forward to seeing whether my feeling on his later work as Bond change...
Adore that film! Loved Chloe Grace Moretz as the younger sister and voice of reason! I must give it a re-watch...
Amazing woman it's easy to see why Carlito was in love with her character, Carlitos Way is pure cinema, DePalma's use of the camera is genius.
I am not sure redheads had been invented yet in that prehistoric period, or the writers did not think so 😂
No, i've not seen that one.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it the second time around. I generally loathe romcoms of any kind. But this movie has an affectionate irony that is quite endearing.
The first and still the best IMHO. It was neat to go back before the numerous sequels, prequels and spinoffs and just enjoy it on its own merits as a standalone adventure and not think about the many plot and character twists that would come in later series entries.
Still the best as far as I am concerned. A true masterpiece, born from what is often said to have been a chaotic mess of a rough cut. Its charm and wild energy, along with its standout score and perfect cast, provided a cocktail of entertainment of the highest calibre. Before there was 'A New Hope', there was Star Wars. And Star Wars is still the best.
Always thought that was a cool poster! I was never a fan of the franchise, but agree the first one is the most watchable!
I agree with you all 100%. But I'm happier that even Kathleen Kennedy let the original print of SW 77 be shown.

P.S. I never call it A New Hope. I always call it the original Star Wars. It just feels right to me.
As for my last watched movie, Ballerina (2025). It was fun mindless action and violence. Ana de Armas is a joy to watch. She in a way gets her Paloma spinoff. Keanu Reeves does his usual acting performance. But, I imagine that he gave his salary for helping others, so no one complains. Gabriel Byrne is underrated, I'm surprised that he didn't get a bigger career. Lance Reddick will be missed in more ways than one. It makes me want Bond to use a flamethrower some time soon. Even as part of the gunbarrel sequence.
An anaemic scifi/horror film that feels embarrassed to be a horror film. The film is edited around the kills, so nothing is shown only the before and after.
A teenager in 2024, accidently travels back to 2003, days before her older sister was murdered by a local serial killer, and tries to change events at the risk of her own future.
The Furies (2019)
By comparison, this b-movie Aussie mashup of The Hunger Games and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in spite of it's budget, didn't shy away from some brutal kills.
Dillinger (1973)
No disrespect to Warren Oates and Ben Johnson, but every time I see this film, it's Richard Dreyfuss that always surprises me. I am so used to seeing him play affable characters. Even though Baby Face Nelson come into the film high on his own infamy, Dillinger takes him aside and pimp slaps the insolence out of him, he still turns out to be the most unhinged of Dillinger's gang.
I really do, @MajorDSmythe!
Joking aside, while I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, not even within the slasher genre, it's a film that I return to often enough for two reasons; a) it's a decent enough slasher, b) it takes me back to my teen years, when I loved the excitement the slasher revival of Scream, IKWYDLS, and Urban Legend provided me.
While Scream had analyzed the slasher genre, IKWYDLS was set firmly within it, boosting a more '80s approach but with less T&A and a higher production design than its predecessors from a decade and a half before. Debney's orchestral score injects some action energy into this film, and the very sexy lead cast of Freddie Prinze Jr., Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt couldn't have been more '90s.
In preparation for the new movie, I wanted to refresh my memory and, honestly, had a great time with it. Hard to believe it's been 28 years already. As far as I'm concerned, IKWYDLS still holds up as a cute slasher flick from the late '90s. Williamson knew what he was doing.
Wishmaster legacy sequel or I am going to riot.
Granted. Pleasure doing business with you.
Come on, man, put some effort in.
