It really feels like the average age of the theater goer has gone down in the last three decades.
Its a way of socializing for the kids and young at heart so at least they are off their cell phones and interacting in person with one another for a couple of hours with the added bonus of getting away from their folks.

I believe it's actually 21 Days. IMDb suggests it was released in the USA as 21 Days Together. I've got it on my DVR but haven't watched it yet.
Yea laffite got the title and date wrong, maybe that is a US release date, funny I didn't even notice it. It's watchable.

“21 years.” (1942). British drama with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. Oliver, a young man in this, accidentally kills a man in a scuffle. He runs to his brother who is a high profile lawyer and in line for a judgeship for help. Olivier is as much a non-achiever as his brother is a consummate success. Olivier must play frightened and helpless and who cowers to his brother in these early scenes, and does not seem to do very will with it. A biographer said that Olivier was always best in costume dramas and Classical Plays because his elaborate garb in roles like this provided him with a means for getting and staying in character, and that simply wearing a business suit left him cold and struggling. So seems the case here. He is almost bad. Meantime a passer-by gets arrested for the murder providing much conflict among the principal players. Leigh doesn’t have a whole to do but she provides great window dressing and attracts much admiration. This movie is not to bad, but not to good either. But it’s watchable. It was made prior to GWTW and due to the colossal magnitude and success of the latter, was not released until two years later. Was Olivier’s character’s motivation due to needing to proving himself in some small way in the light of this brother’s success in life … or was it simply normal guilt?

I gave it a 6/10. It was actually filmed in 1937 and not released until 1940. Don't know where you got the 1942 date.
It's called a British Film Noir. What's interesting is if this was an American Noir, the MPPC would usually not allow Larry to get away so Scott-free.

superb avatar by the way thought he liked it better, or do you mean the De Niro 1992 version?
The De Niro remake was horrible in comparison.

This thread reminds me of how Leonard Maltin gave Night And The City (1950) a 2.5 star rating. I consider it a masterpiece, and I know it is a beloved noir, so his score surprised me.
Never took Maltin serious after looking through some of his ratings, I picked up one of his books at a yard sale once then tossed it.

Signed CI, who just spent $3.99 on Amazon video to see a 60s Paramount title......
I'd rather spend $3.99 on something that you can't see anywhere else than watch the same ol' same ol'. It's cheaper than driving into town and taking a gambol on what the cineplex is dishing out.

Contempt (1963)
Movie producer Jack Palance hires script doctor Michel Piccoli to fix his movie about Ulysses and the Odyssey. Palance sees Piccoli's wife Brigitte Bardot and gets the hots for her. Bardot thinks her husband isn't paying attention to her and using her to get Palance to reward him for the script. They argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and argue and talk and go to Capri and argue and talk some more.
This is the sort of movie that leads a lot of people to think that foreign films are just pretentious arthouse stuff. There are a lot of pretty images but the plot is a whole lot of nothing.
4/10
Agree never liked it even giving it a second go round once.
-
Way Of The Gun (2000) Sort of a Tarantino wannabe that needed a better plot and some character development, all the gun battles got redundant then a bit unbelievable and ridiculous 6/10.
-
And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003)
8½ (1963)
-
Yea, for me it's like most blockbusters and theaters in general are now like the old Saturday morning cartoons and kids stuff, and the the more interesting entertainment can be found streaming or is on cable TV and a lot of time in miniseries to boot.

How can it be "fuller"? Sounds like a police report sans plate numbers!
Dargo and a few other car enthusiasts may get a kick out of all the classic "tail fin" cars on display. 😅
