"Best of Show" on TCM earlier. Never saw it before. Freaking hilarious!



Before that, also on TCM.....1978's "Corvette Summer". I was out so didn't watch but have seen it multiple times. A cult classic!



As always.......commercial free!

Interviews with survivors.

I watched this last night - damn, a difficult watch! Amazing what they were faced with (cannibalism and all that). Again, damn!

Worth watching ??

Move over Indiana Jones and Laura Croft for the IRL adventure.

A French archeologist journeys to be the next Howard Carter and 'discover' an ancient Peruvian Amazon center of civilization far greater than Machu Picchu, the lost city of Paďtiti. Of course there is rumored to be a huge treasure of stolen Spanish gold as well. And several others in the past have already 're-discovered' it. There is competition and hostile natives and technical difficulties and above all the terrain itself.

Watch it 3 or 4 times and it gets funnier each time.

Christopher Guest has done a slew of similar films in the mockumentary format. He was in one of the best, This is Spinal Tap, and went on to direct/start in more. If you like Best in Show, check out Waiting for Guffman, which has many of the same stars:

[Steve Carlton]

Pretty much the same crew in those movies plus A Mighty Wind.

Guest cracks me up, going back to the days when he was on SNL. He's married to Jamie Lee Curtis.

The Man From Nowhere. Netflix. It’s Korean, subtitled, but that doesn’t matter because it’s an action flick. Lots of martial arts. Very good and bloody.

[stevej37]

On Netflix...The Wrong Missy
A shallow slightly raunchy romantic comedy with David Spade.
Worth watching...esp if a Spade fan.

[The Synergizer]

Watched another foreign film entitled "Holy Spider" about a serial killer in Iran. Was pretty good.

Kristen Bell and Vince Vaughn in Queenpins on Netflix.
Couponing gone bad.

[Baz]

TCM right now.

"A New Leaf"....Walter Matthau, Elaine May, Jack Weston, and George Rose who is freaking hilarious as the butler!

1971 - directed by Elaine May.

As always......commercial free!

Road House (2024) releases March 8th. Looks like fun.

[Baz]

^^^ Looks good, Steve.....love JG's work!

Right now on AMC...."Moneyball" from 2011.

Great movie!

Brawl in Cellblock 99
On Prime starring Vince Vaughn and Don Johnson as the warden. An ok prison movie.

[Flatbutt1]

I watched Dead Reckoning last night. Meh. More of the same MI stuff. For me it was rather tiresome and predictable. Of course YMMV

[The Synergizer]

Watched the preview. Ha! Connor McGregor is the bad guy. I wonder if he punches an old guy at the bar?

Great director— not sure it needed to be remade, but trailer looks really good

Gonna miss Kelly Lynch’s coming out scene tho.

[Steve Carlton]

I'm happy with a good remake. I saw the original so many times, I can't watch it anymore.
