Whitefang Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 To my old a s s, a movie from 2006 hardly seems old enough to be forgotten. But I always thought Luke was the better Wilson brother, so I'll have to check this one out. Another good "old" movie is one not forgotten by old movie buffs, but by enough people who have heard of it before. It's another movie on the concept of what life after death might be like. and from 1944.... Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBSinTo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 "Mighty Joe Young" released in 1949, and made by the same group that did the original "King Kong". Amazing special effects considering when it was made. RBSinTo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 The Vikings with Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, I think Jamie Lee Curtis was conceived during the production of this film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang lol, yes ! I read years back that Boris Karloff played Raymond Massey's character for the Broadway play. and the place would crack up everytime they got to the line "look at the mug on that guy. he looks like Karloff" lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell with the bell. I shudder being reminded of that bloody MARE OF STEEL ! This was the second movie Widmark made with Sidney Poitier. The first was 1950's NO WAY OUT. Another great flick.

Whitefang Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 TCM and the Movies! channel plays Young Frankenstein pretty often. But during adolescence, this one was a well loved (do you remember?) flick. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Mitchum always made a great villain - "Night Of The Hunter" - or how about "The Friends Of Eddie Coyle"? He was in plenty of westerns AND both the original "Cape Fear" and the remake. And he was busted for weed in 1948! Way ahead of his time! Let's hear it for "The African Queen". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Brando's lesser-known later films was "The Missouri Breaks". When I saw this movie I thought Brando was hamming his role up.... He probably was. And of course there's the "Brando/Malden" connection with the earlier A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE('51) And that same year another Malden/Widmark connection, HALLS OF MONTEZUMA('51). Brando was always a sort of enigmatic actor. Starting his film career as a paraplegic( THE MEN--1950) then after "Streetcar" playing a Mexican revolutionary(VIVA ZAPATA '52) then Roman General Mark Antony (Julius Caesar--'53) a bit later Napoleon Bonaparte (Desiree --'54) And even an Asian(The Teahouse Of The August Moon--1956)! Two of my favorite Brando movies(apart from the many more I like) are THE WILD ONE('53) and THE FUGITIVE KIND('56) In the former he plays the leader of a motorcycle gang(who all ride TRIUMPHS however) called The Black Rebels(although none of them are black) A favorite line is when a girl asks him, "What are you rebelling against, Johnny?" He replies, "Whaddya got?" Legendary movie tough guy LEE MARVIN is also in the cast. Along with JERRY PARIS who later becomes neighbor Jerry Helper on THE **** VAN DYKE show, and Alvy Moore who later becomes the scatterbrained agricultural department agent Mr. Kimball on GREEN ACRES. Jerry Paris is also in the cast of the classic MARTY('55) starring Ernest Borgnine of McHale's Navy in his Oscar winning role. And finally let's mention Brando's "The Missouri Breaks" also starred JACK NICHOLSON. who also had a hand in the production and writing in The Monkees movie HEAD('68).

merciful-evans Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) An old Roger Corman movie from 1963, 'The Raven' is something I can indulge in late at night. Silly comic horror with Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre (also a young Jack Nicholson & Hazel Court). As always it's Lorre that stands out for me.
