OT: Movies/TV Shows

[Montana]

yeah, colour is obviously great and all….but a shitload of movies over the years would have been superior had they been done in black & white with crisp clean high contrast lighting.

It sucks how much it’s been wiped out, aside from the odd flick here or there…that often end up being great, Ed Wood, The Lighthouse, Nebraska, White Ribbon, Good Night & Good Luck, etc etc

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Is anyone watching Heels?

I might be bias, but i truly think you can appreciate this show if you dont love wrestling. If you hate wrestling, probably not, but if you like it or are indifferent i strongly reccommend. Season 2 was very strong.

Schindler was probably the best modern day black and white film for my money, especially how Spielberg used a touch of color for effect in it. A masterstroke.

not familiar with it.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Me neither.

Stephen Amell wrestling show about a family run indy promotion in Georgia.

Never heard of it. I see there is a movie with the same title about wrestling too but I don't think they are related. Gonna check them both out.

I don't watch wrestling now but watched a lot years ago, always enjoyed the heels and their treachery.

i can only speak to the show, GLOW is also an excellent wrestling show

Jim Cornette on the "old"/"original" GLOW on which I assume that show is based:

Could have been the edibles but Barbie was surprisingly dumb and funny.

Manhattan was also a great black and white film, even if it was a movie about a middle aged man who has a relationship with a teenage girl.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

So unrealistic. Never happens in real life.

it was very good.

Watched this Billy Wilder gem today….hell of a fun flick. Really smart engaging script, with some great performances from the three leads.

I watched it on Prime, but I have a few of those movie subscriptions on there, so it may have been under the umbrella of one of those….either way, for those that haven’t seen it, it’s a classic worth your time.

I think I fell in love with Marlene Dietrich? she’s bloody brilliant in this…….also she 100% had to be the inspiration for Tarantino’s Bridgette Von Hammersmark in Basterds’….

I don't know of this one. Think I'll check it out tonight.

tyrone powers, charles laughton, dietrich....doesn't get much better acting wise than that.

 

[Slinger 48]

Watched about half of it last night. Got tired and had to go to bed, I'll finish it tonight.

Love the dry humour.

If you enjoy Laughton's acting you should check out (if you can find it) a movie called "The Big Clock" with him and Ray Milland (and a very young Harry Morgan about 30 years before he was Colonel Potter on M*A*S*H) In the 80's they did a sort-of remake with Gene Hackman in the Laughton role and Kevin Costner in the Milland role called "No Way Out" which was also very good.

 

[JackBurton]

"Talk To Me" isn't quite as good as the hype (If you area aware of the great reviews", but it does have a couple of really frightening, disturbing scenes that overall make it work.
