Wood Allen's Radio Days. Wow. I didn't even know this movie existed! Really enjoyed it - perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

We were watching it as well. I think I saw part of it in the past but saw it listed and made sure to see it start to finish.

Last movie I watched (which I've seen before) was this afternoon - Man of the Century. It's been been written up before here on the Lounge.

I just watched On Golden Pond with Hepburn and Fonda. I had forgotten how effortless Henry Fonda made acting seem. Good flick.

'Girl 27,' a documentary about a 1937 MGM Stag Party where a woman was lured there under false pretenses
and raped. Not terribly well made, but enlightening about the film industry at the time, and of course, an important story.

Thanks for posting this and making me look it up! Man, I just read a write-up on the details of the night in question...all I can say is "WOW!" What a totally hushed-up story! Everyone knows about William Desmond Taylor and Fatty Arbuckle...this has been totally off my radar. Horrid!

I really liked the scene where he and Katherine sucked face...

Don't Look Now. First saw it in Bath in 1980. I love this movie. So sad.

Holiday (1938) (7/10) This time around I fully enjoyed it! Last time I watched this I thought it was dull and didn't go anywhere; I couldn't have been more wrong! There were nice, light touches of comedy and drama. It was a fun, interesting film that I would label a "Near Classic." Hepburn was great, Grant was lovable and Lew Ayres gained my admiration. His facial expression at the church while hungover was brilliant. Edward Everett Horton got all the best lines, though.

RE: Hepburn. I could hear some of her voice inflections that Cate Blanchett cribbed for her AVIATOR role. The real Kate never came off as flaky like Blanchett played her, at least in any of the films I've seen. Maybe someone can direct me to a "dopier, flakier", Kate Hepburn role?

"Little Caesar" - Edward G. Robinson. Ok, aside from the gorgeous antique autos, suits, hats in this classic gangster movie, it was SO much fun imitating and mocking EGR's distinct voice and speaking manner - "aaaaahhh, dirty yellow copper, saaayyy?"

Also a few times during the movie it seemed to me that the acting was very similar to that of silent movies, with the exaggerated facial expressions and pronounced mannerisms. This was confirmed when I watched the commentary when they pointed out that this was one of the early "talkies".

But remember they weren't antiques then they were contemporary items!

I'm getting ahead of myself but I just opened a package from Greece containing White Mischief (in English) without subtitles (perhaps they are an option). The menus are in Greek but the DVD was still in its wrapper when I opened the padded envelope and so far so good.

I just saw There Will be Blood. Acting was great, but where was the plot. What did I miss??

Vintage lover · Jun 25, 2008

i thought the plot was Daniel Day Lewis's character's life. I recently saw the new Indiana Jones and thought it was pretty good.

cemetarian · Jun 25, 2008

I liked "There will be Blood" but it strayed so far from the original Sinclair Lewis story that it was hard to comprehend..........

We watched "Bucket List" the other night and it is probably the best movie that either Nicholson or Freeman ever did...........or maybe it's just the fact that my own Bucket List hasn't been completed.......BWAHAHAHA

SamMarlowPI · Jun 26, 2008

went on another James Cagney marathon...all the classics: Public Enemy, Angels With Dirty Faces, G-Men, Lady Killer, Roaring Twenties...you just can't get enough of the guy...
y'all should get a kick outta this, see...http://youtube.com/watch?v=e0LEDW96Ajo

I had the same reaction to Holiday. It didn't help that the first time around, I saw it on the heels of The Philadelphia Story. It's good, but it does suffer a bit in comparison. I watched it again a few months later, and enjoyed it much more.

For a dopier, flakier Hepburn, what about Bringing Up Baby?

Last movie we saw: Michael Clayton. Clooney was good, Tilda Swinton was marvelous.

The Fall of the Roman Empire, with Alec Guiness, Christopher Plumer & Sophia Loren, on AMC tonight. Visually stunning vistas & sets to catch the eye for sure.

Cheers!
