The MOVIE thread

[Steve Carlton]

I remember watching A Clockwork Orange many times. I think it's a masterpiece- I even read the book after seeing the movie several times. On Sept 1 it goes on Netflix in 4K. I'll check it out again. I didn't realize it was controversial to the point of being banned.

^^^ That should make Wayne's car appreciate in value.

Watched Samaritan yesterday.... never going to get that 2 hours back. If you are working hard in your garage, probably OK to have this playing the background. But to sit and watch it like a real movie, waste of time.

if you like Rock & Roll...

Book of Eli was on again. An awesome movie that nobody ever heard of.

↑↑↑↑↑↑ - Great movie but the message was lost on most people.

I'm overdue for a re-watch. I remember it was good, as most all Denzel movies are.

I read it a long time ago. As I recall he's only about 12 in the book which makes it even crazier.

I don't remember reading that. Looked it up and he was 15 in the beginning. Still very young.

I think that movie was the best thing Malcolm McDowell ever did. Kubrick aged him up to 18-19.

At least no one died on set from a badly managed weapon.

re: Clockwork. I saw it in the theatre back then and didn't think it controversial. Edgy but not so much so that it deserved banning.

They are featuring Peter Sellers on TCM today....saw part of this one earlier....

This is an awfully long thread so I apologize if I mentioned this before but I strongly recommend a very little known movie from the 60s called Seconds. Frankenheimer directed.

It’s a very powerful movie that to be honest I think could be boiled down into a Twilight Zone episode. Nevertheless it works very well as a feature.

Thanks - anything directed by John Frankenheimer is note worthy - and can be repeated here as many times as you wish!

I watched, Bloodshot tonight. Vin diesel action. I am not a Vin diesel fan but if you are you will like this movie. Tons of action.

Just started on TCM. "Around the World in 80 Days" - 1956 and starring David Niven.

As always commercial free!
