  1. 99 is a great film, but kind of hard to watch....maybe something I'd watch once in awhile but not too often. Though Jodie was fantastic in that.

    100 I consider an overlong and pretty crummy remake of the far superior DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY with Fredric March.

    91-96 are ace with me all the way. Haven't seen 97 or 98 (at least not that I can remember).

    I watched another Doctor Who serial, The Robots of Death, with the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and his scantily-clad companion Leela (Louise Jameson) arriving on a planet aboard a large, mobile mining station populated by a wealthy and pampered elite serviced by a large number of robots. When people start showing up dead, the Doctor is blamed, but he thinks the robots have broken with their programming and are now homicidal.

    Now I've started Washington: Behind Closed Doors, a TV mini-series based on a book by John Ehrlichman that presents a barely fictionalized portrait of the Nixon administration, with Jason Robards as the Nixon stand-in. Also with Cliff Robertson, Robert Vaughn (who won an Emmy for his performance), Stephanie Powers, Lois Nettleton, John Houseman, Andy Griffith (as the LBJ stand-in), and many others. I've finished the first 100-minute segment, with 5 more to go. If the whole thing is as much of a snoozefest as part one, NipkowDisc will have some explainin' to do.

    I haven't see this mini-series myself, and it's hard to believe that a program with such talent could be a snoozefest, but then again 1963's CLEOPATRA had a great cast too, and that movie bored me silly, so anything is possible.

     

  3. Always loved CASABLANCA, Bogey at his most coolest, Ingrid at her loveliest, and Claude Rains just about steals the show as the corruptible, but still likable inspector.

    Heck, even Paul Henreid shines in here.

    Only quibble, Peter Lorre is only in here for what 5 minutes (would have loved to have seen more of him) and also would have liked to have seen a bit more of Sydney Greenstreet as well.

    Still, as close to a perfect film as one could get.
