From 1961 - "The Young Doctors" on TCM right now.

Great cast. Frederick March, Ben Gazzara, Dick Clark, Eddie Albert.....

As always - commercial free!

21 bridges. Cops and robbers and drugs and death. Sort of predictable. Not a bad action movie.

Watching "How the West was Won" on Grit TV. The one narrated by Spencer Tracy. Epic saga! Zeb just came hone from the war and heard from his brother about their father, Linus (Jimmy Stewart).

Zeb, played by the late great George Peppard.

Replicas. Keanou Reeves sci fi movie. Not that good but I did watch to the end so I guess it is not that bad.

"Bye Bye Birdie" was on earlier. TCM. Hadn't watched it in a while and forgot how great it was. I only watched the last 45 minutes but enjoyed it a lot. Ann Margaret is so young! Great cast!

Watched a good one last night. Wes Craven's "The Last House on the Left".

Watching "Damnation Alley" on YT right now. Jan Michael Vincent, George Peppard, and Jackie Earle Haley - and the Dean Jeffries designed Landmaster. Very cool SciFy!

Last house on the left. 2009 version. Rape, stabbing, shooting, beating, blood. guts and killing. I cant believe I watched this. Worse part is, I liked it. I may be losing it.:D:D

I’ve seen the original 70s version. It’s as if Otis Toole tried to direct a comedy.

You're not losing it.

You're embracing your alter ego. :D

That movie was very well directed. I was on the edge on my seat the whole time.

The microwave scene at the very end was pretty epic.....:p

I glad you also Liked it. Sometimes I question my thoughts and decisions.:eek: :D

"In Cold Blood" is quite a movie - especially the ending when the two are hanged....and the scenes leading up to it.

The one reporter asking the other if the hangman has a name. He replies: "We the People."

Fantastic.....

"Red Dragon" on Ovation right now. I'm a big Edward Norton fan so good way to close out the weekend!

Have you seen Manhunter (1986)? That’s another good one in that storyline.

What they didn't tell us in the movie "Rush"

Thank you Sammy. That was truly enlightening.

Watching The Shining

Enjoyed it but it didn't scare me nearly as much as when I first saw it in a big, old, empty Club Med hotel in the Swiss Alps.

Only a few of us left after all the guests/staff had left for the summer season.

The walk from the lift to my room down a long corridor at night is not a walk I'll ever forget

Stay out of Room 237.

I hear you.

Kubrick's The Shining is not frightening until you spend some time with it. Then you shiet your pants.

Jack is beyond gone in this scene.
