"Worth" on netflix. Surprisingly moving story of Ken Feinberg, that atty that had to value lives for the compensation fund after 9/11.

[Crowbob]

No. Much worse. Still a watch, though.

Watched The Apartment (1960) with two-time Oscar winner Jack Lemmon, Oscar winner Shirley MacClain and a host of early 60s supporting cast (Fred MacMurray, Ray Walston) and directed by seven-time Oscar winner Billy Wilder.



I can see why this was such a well-received film (it won five Oscars!); it's got a great story and was expertly edited; I could not find a bad or unnecessary scene. Real top-shelf performances by almost everyone, and even some of very minor players were scene-stealers. The Doctor who lived next door (the late Jack Kruschen) was particularly well-played if only briefly. For a 63 year old B&W film, it holds up quite nicely. 9.5/10 Highest recommendation!

When I started reading your post - the first thought was the neighbor doctor role - very well played.

Jack Lemmon is one of my fav. actors, too.

If you haven't seen it - do yourself a flavour and check out "Cowboy" with Lemmon and Glenn Ford. 1958 and directed by Delmer Daves.

Also has the title sequence by Saul Bass......

Heart of Stone just went on Netflix, starring Gal Gadot. Sort of like a cross between Atomic Blonde and Minority Report. Good action, entertaining, but not awesome. I'm up for watching anything Gal does, personally. She's over-the-top capable in too many ways here.

^^^ I added that to my 'watch list'....along with about 10 others on Netflix that I can't seem to fit in for watching.

Patrick Swayze fest on IFC today. The cult classic "Road House" on right now.

Not commercial free....but easily a tradeoff to get UNCENSORED content!

Yes, there are two EXCELLENT reasons to watch the uncensored version!

Now on INSP..."Ride the High Country". 1962 Sam Peckinpah.

Mariette Hartley's film debut, I believe.
