  • Reign Of Fire (2002), directed by Rob Bowman, starring Matthew McConaughey, Christian Bale, Gerard Butler, and Izabella Scorupco as the token woman (yes, it was one of those movies... sigh). What's left of mankind (apparently mostly men and little …
  • Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2001), starring Alan Arkin, Matthew McConaughey, Clea DuVall, John Turturro, Amy Irving. I simply loved this. A fascinating film. If you're looking for action, romance or other regular movie stuff like that, …
  • I feel bad not having watched any of this series, despite Tomo Milicevic's little sis being in the lead role... I need to catch at least one episode somewhere, it would be embarrassing not to. :D
  • That Touch Of Mink (1962), starring Cary Grant (whom I generally like) and Doris Day (whom I've never liked). Nowhere near as bad as Indiscreet, but still pretty bad, IMO. The Philadelphia Story (1940), directed by George Cukor, starring Cary Gra…
  • I watched the whole season 1 the last couple of nights - episodes 1-2 from 4 am to 6 am on Sunday, and episodes 3-8 from midnight to 6 am on Monday. (What kind of a sadist makes the tv program schedules, I wonder...) Not much sleep and +30C is not a…
  • Gambit (2012), starring Colin Firth, Alan Rickman and Cameron Diaz. I have always liked Firth and Rickman, but even they can't save this. And I've never liked Diaz in anything as far as I can remember - if she can act I've yet to see it, and I don't…

  • @DarthDimi Yes, To Have And Have Not is great. I recently watched The Big Sleep and Dark Passage, and Key Largo is on its way to me from a nearby library. :) I've seen it before, but it's been a few years (as it was with The Big Sleep), so... That …

  • Tiptoes (2003) with Matthew McConaughey, Kate Beckinsale, Gary Oldman, Patricia Arquette, Peter Dinklage. An interesting idea, and I'm sure it was supposed to be touching and much deeper than it was. Watchable, but frankly not very good, nor success…
  • @Creasy47, well, Wild Target didn't make me laugh. *shrug* It wasn't bad, but somehow just didn't quite work for me as it should have. Dark Passage (1947) with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. I most enjoyed the first part of the movie; the f…

  • The Petrified Forrest (1936), starring Leslie Howard, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart. It was hugely important to Bogart's career - basically, without it, his film career might have been over without him ever becoming a movie star. Thank goodness for L…
  • The Maltese Falcon (1941), directed by John Houston (his directorial debut), screenplay by Houston - based on Dashiell Hammett novel, starring Humphrey Bogart (as private detective Sam Spade), Mary Astor (as his client), Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstr…
  • Oh wow. Fascinating. Thank you, @4EverBonded! The comments (there are hundreds of them!) are worth reading, too, btw. (Also my list of stuff to read just got longer.)
  • The Big Sleep (1946) directed by Howard Hawks, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Based on the novel by Raymond Chandler. Simply a classic. fire_and_ice wrote: » Grumpy old men, just remembered Anne Margarate starred in that film. She …
  • I keep seeing that a lot, but they didn't exactly wait for Mendes, did they? He initially said no because he wanted - understandably - to do different kind of work after Skyfall. Did I imagine seeing bits here about some other directors having been…
  • ^^ Accidents happen sometimes, but _missiles_ don't just accidentally hit planes, do they?

  • ^^ Sounds reasonable to me. They ARE still speaking English, and whatever the accent it remains English. I never think they're supposed to be speaking Swedish since they don't speak Swedish.

  • Heck, I should re-watch Traffic... too many movies, too many books and too much music, darn... ;) Most recently watched: The Fountain (2006) - I wanted to see it because it's directed by Darren Aronofsky and it didn't hurt that I like the lead…
  • Maybe so. I recently re-watched Contact - interesting stuff, and a good cast as well. (I like Jodie Foster, John Hurt and James Woods.)
