Coming up in a few minutes on TCM....the original "Planet of the Apes".

As always, commercial free!

[Baz]

"Take your stinkin' paws off me you damn dirty apes!"

Quite possibly the greatest Sci-Fi movie ever made.......

[berettafan]

Saw that was on but got distracted by 'copshop'. made the wrong choice.

Also noted Django was on. Doesn't quite show as well on regular TV.

Great old movie. One of my dad's favorites. Charlton Heston was a living legend... RIP Sir.

[Steve Carlton]

I watched this last night. Not Noomi's best, but entertaining for sure.

"Shenandoah" on INSP right now. What can you say...James Stewart and a great cast!

Like the Bourne series in world settings spies and action, except with five hot older women.
Better individual scenes and gotchas. Less substance and depth.

Somewhere between Jason Bourne and Charlies Angels. Entertaining.

James Cagney, William Powell, Henry Fonda, Ward Bond andJack Lemmon having a little fun on the set of Mister Roberts...

Just watched it on Apple TV. Two thumbs up!

Warning: there’s singing, laughing, crying, and subtitles.

That is a great movie. Hell of a cast.

Sam the Lion has always been my fav.

IMHO his character made the movie as good as it is, more or less.

There is a Director''s Cut and a sequel I haven't seen yet, but intend to:

Another Bogdanovich movie on TCM right now. "Saint Jack" with Ben Gazzara (1979). Denholm Elliot co-stars. Pretty good movie so far.....and as always....commercial free!

[Heel n Toe]

I saw most of it and very much enjoyed what I saw. An unexpected gem for me. Gazzara with his typical moody swagger is fun to watch.

Next on TCM is something I think I may have seen in the last year or so and if you weren't aware of the comic genius of Buster Keaton, it's well worth a look.

The Great Buster: A Celebration (2018)
10:15 PM ON TCM - 1 hr 42 min

Peter Bogdanovich examines the legendary life and career of actor, filmmaker and comic genius Buster Keaton.

[Steve Carlton]

This looks interesting. Opens 7/22.

[JackDidley]

Anna De Armus and Ben Affleck in Deep Water. All about a happy couple. Or maybe not so happy. Anna is super hot.

The Staircase: Not a movie but this looks interesting and it has an excellent cast.

(The eight-episode Max Original limited series, created by Antonio Campos, debuts Thursday, May 5 on HBO Max.)

Agree. She caught my eye as the holographic girlfriend in Bladerunner 2049. I don't think she got enough screen time in No Time to Die. I'm going to watch this right away!

[Steve Carlton]

Well... they both played their roles well, but they were both painful to watch. Ana is unbelievably sexy, but it's wasted on a character that chooses to torture her husband. Ben's seething rage was intense, but the whole story was fairly ridiculous. Not a great watch.
