True. When I was 16 I worked at a theater, downtown Chicago. We showed Midnight Cowboy for at least 6 months. But, this Sting thing was a total brain failure on my part.

The movie Love Story (1970) ran for over 4 years in a local cinema!

Yup, Leslie Chow’s character is a great one that runs through the trilogy. I can just imagine what Dr. Ken Jeong’s patients felt like prior to him turning to comedy full time.

If you want to see action..tons of action.. this is the movie to see.
Great dog fighting scenes also. (dogs vs. bad men)
How the heck they train dogs to go after the jewels every time??

Watching "The Manchurian Candidate" on TCM right now. The original from 1962 with Frank Sinatra & Lawrence Harvey.....produced and directed by John Frankenheimer and based on the Richard Condon novel.

Really good cast and great story!

I watched this last night. Great but very different to the earlier "Jolie" movies.

We saw it this weekend. The violence and action was good for a violent, action movie. I'm thinking the series is beginning to deteriorate though.

Love the Wo-Fat character in Five-O. Yes indeed, if you haven't yet - this film is a must! Especially great ending.

Got in for lunch in time to watch the end of "Risky Business" - one of the greatest moves of all time.

The movie stands on its own. I liked it and I'm not a gamer either.

This is different. Shocking at times, then dreary and sad... Natalie is a great actress and she takes chances. I like that about her.

I recorded it. Never seen it before. Watched Terminator Genesys last night. Previously only saw the original, back in the day. Got in the mood for some Skynet action, I guess.

A quick search just told me Altered Carbon hasn't been discussed here. It's a Netflix Sci Fi miniseries with lots of nudity, so some of you old farts may want to pass. Highlight is a sword fight with naked clones.
