MCannady1 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Watching HUNGRY HILL on YouTube. I really enjoy this movie, one of Daphne Du Maurier's overlooked stories. I like Hungry Hill too. A very engrossing film! By the way, I am a big Mervyn Johns fan. The quote from Half-Way House reminds me of this this intriguing melodrama. I also love his performance in Dead of Night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCannady1 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Been binge-watching season five of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The first four seasons have been around, but the final three are new to me (at least I don't remember them)..great stuff..consistently good writing and acting. I agree. I love the Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Alfred Hitchcock Hour. Both had superb guest stars and storylines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn and his daughter Glynis are just so great. I love watching them, especially in THE HALF-WAY HOUSE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCannady1 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just saw "The Bride's Play" (1922)--Beautiful restoration and score by Ben Model. Marion Davies in a double role in a romantic dramedy. Elaborate film is very worth the watch. "The Red Mill" (1926) is now playing--Davies seems more at ease in an out and out comedy--so far a very funny film. I set these two up and looking forward to watching this weekend. I like Marion Davies films very much too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love watching them, especially in THE HALF-WAY HOUSE. Thanks, Jarrod. I like Mervyn and Glynis too. I am going to see Half=Way House again. A very gifted actor who is always entertaining to watch. Also, his talented and beautiful daughter Glynis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCannady1 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It certainly was. TCM needs to give him a day in August and show those films in primetime. I agree. My favorite Yul film is The King and I, but I like all of his performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffite Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 This great film has been added on Amazon Prime. It's been 150 million years since TCM aired it. One of my favorite of all time. I have a copy of my own and I'm not a collector. Brooding Olivier, nasty Mariam, sweet Jennifer, and an Eddie Albert who is as finely cast an actor for a role that ever has been, and he is perfection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

film lover 293 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 "Jungle Cat" (1960)--Talky Disney documentary about jaguars in the South American jungle. The camerawork is amazing and the score is good--that makes up for all the talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamCasey Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Along Came Jones (1945) - Charge! TV w/ Gary Cooper (and also its producer), Loretta Young, William Demarest, Dan Duryea, and Russell Simpson Charge! TV is a new digital broadcast television network that has replaced Grit TV in my neck of the woods. The network is expected to feature action- and adventure-based programming sourced primarily from the MGM television and film library. So naturally the first movie that I watch on this channel was released by RKO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesStewartFan95 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Barefoot in the Park starring the very appealing screen partnership of Jane Fonda and Robert Redford along with Mildred Natwick and Charles Boyer. I feel that this film is what a lot of modern romantic comedies try to emulate, but they just can't get that small town meets big city charm of the lead characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamCasey Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Earthquake (1974) - Starz Encore On Demand w/ Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner (The first movie that I ever saw her in. Not exactly an ideal introduction.), George Kennedy, Lorne Greene (And, boy, it was odd seeing him off the Ponderosa!), Geneviève Bujold (Also the first movie that I ever saw her in. Was just a pretty face to me at that point.), Richard Roundtree (Knew of Shaft (1971). But wasn't old enough to have see it yet.), Marjoe Gortner (Only knew him at that point from Pray For The Wildcats (1974) and knew nothing about his preacher past. He did a good job of creeping me out in this one.), Barry Sullivan, Lloyd Nolan, Victoria Principal and Walter Matthau I've haven't watched this one since its first run. A bit surprising since I have rewatched (and even own DVDs for) other 1970s disaster movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'm watching my #1 favorite movie--The Long Long Trailer. I never tire of this movie. "It's a fine thing when you come home to your home and your home is gone!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamCasey Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 M (1931) - TCM Probably the best movie of 1931. And this from a person who greatly enjoys the horror genre and the gangster genre and, therefore, would be expected to have something like Dracula or Frankenstein or Public Enemy or Little Caesar or whatever at the top of the list for that year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamCasey Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1982) - TCM Although I'm familiar with the subject matter, I've never seen this musical before either live or filmed (including the 2007 version with Johnny Depp (whom, I must admit, is an actor that doesn't really appeal to me which probably explains why I haven't seen that particular version)).
