Not Fade Away. It didn't live up to the hype.

Storm Warning (1951) with Ginger Rogers, Ronald Reagan, and Doris Day (billed in that order). Grim, gritty film about the KKK. Reagan is the DA for a small town in a nameless southern state; Day is the wife of local mill worker who's a member of the group, and Rogers is Day's sister, who stops for a visit and get caught up in mob violence and intimidation. Downbeat throughout, right up to the end.

Same here... great story. Amazing fedoras, suits and acting. And the greatest of all the film noir femme fatales. In this one the women were clearly more dangerous than the men... by a long sight!

I've never seen it. It came on one afternoon when I was home sick... My mother was with me, she'd grown up in the South under Jim Crow, she knew the film well... she turned it off and would NOT let me see it. I've not seen it to this day.

I have watched it a few times on TCM and always enjoyed it and not just because of Greer who I'd like to believe was just misunderstood.

Misunderstood after the FIRST man she shot mebbe... but as the pile of dead men rises at her feet I can't buy her.... "innocence" at all!

With a face like that, I'll buy whatever ticket she is selling and for twice the price.
Even I must admit, when she first walks into that bar down in Acapulco... she might have had me too.

Sherlock Holmes. Better than I expected, at least when one's bored on a hot summer afternoon.

Hombre starring Paul Newman. Richard Boone was a great bad guy in this one.

Fantastic movie. If you want to see another Grace Kelly as stoic wife movie, I would recommend "The Country Girl," as a lesser-known, but incredibly well done Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby movie that, while not noir, has a dark tone throughout. And shows that both Kelly and Crosby were real actors needing not looks nor voice (respectably) to carry a movie.

Nicholas Nickleby, the 2002 version. My wife and I liked it a lot.

Was it? That's disappointing. I haven't seen it yet.Maltese said:
Couple of nights ago I watched "Heat" (Pacino, DeNiro) again - great film, epic in a way most films aren't these days.
