both Shock Corridor and The Naked Kiss are pretty classic. Haven't seen either in over a decade though, so I think I'm gonna rewatch them.

Forgot to get any if the Sam Fuller last night. Right now watching Portrait of Jennie, which I had DVRed a while back. It's pretty tough going though especially since I think I figured out that***SPOILER ALERT***Jennifer Jones is Ethel Barrymore, baby**END SPOILER****

Wednesday's their Andy Griffith night, so both A Face in the Crowd and Hearts of the West (which I've never seen) will be playing.

Wow, the big finale storm sequence is tinted green.

Haha, yes -- saw that a few weeks ago and was a bit boggled by the duotone section.
― Neil Jung (WmC), Saturday, 14 July 2012 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
Watched Pinky (Kazan, 1949) this morning -- really good. Ethel Waters and Ethel Barrymore both great.
― Neil Jung (WmC), Sunday, 22 July 2012 15:49 (eleven years ago) link
Well, the original The Blob is on tonight...

Drunken Angel, Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo, Red Beard, Samurai Trilogy, and Samurai Rebellion.

Tarzan marathon tomorrow, any recommendations?
― ♆ (gr8080), Thursday, 2 August 2012 16:09 (eleven years ago) link
also Toshirô Mifune marathon on the 9th
― ♆ (gr8080), Thursday, 2 August 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
i'm recording tarzan the ape man (weissmuller's first time in the role)
― Mordy, Thursday, 2 August 2012 16:21 (eleven years ago) link
i think tarzan and his mate is supposed to be really good too
― Mordy, Thursday, 2 August 2012 16:23 (eleven years ago) link
The skinny-dipping scene is certainly worth seeing at least once. (/dirtyoldman)

I've never seen Singin' in the Rain, so tonight's my chance.

long overdue imo

This was absolutely great and I'm glad I watched it, but probably wouldn't make my top 100 films. There were some surprising occasions of camera shakiness/juddering during a few dolly or crane shots.
― Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 24 August 2012 15:25 (eleven years ago) link
I can give you a list of 20 better musicals. Sometime.

That's my favorite thing about old crane shots!
― Eric H., Friday, 24 August 2012 16:10 (eleven years ago) link
Morbs, I look forward to that list! Would A Hard Day's Night be on it?
― Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:24 (eleven years ago) link
not *strictly* a musical, probably a better film tho
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:29 (eleven years ago) link
I'd like to see that list too tho kjb obv the ilx movie musical expert
― Mordy, Friday, 24 August 2012 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
except in a few cases, characters must sing in non-performance scenes (only great exception I can think of is Cabaret)
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
anyway w/ MGM you can start w/ Meet Me in St Louis, Gigi, An American in Paris, and The Band Wagon.
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:33 (eleven years ago) link
I've seen all four! We watched invitation to the dance (I think that was the title) during the Astaire block the other day. Very weird & not very good
― Mordy, Friday, 24 August 2012 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
isn't that Kelly?
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, that's Kelly, and was on yesterday afternoon. I watched the first segment of it and was boggled by Claire Sombert's muscles.
― Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:40 (eleven years ago) link
Yes thx
― Mordy, Friday, 24 August 2012 18:14 (eleven years ago) link
Gigi, more like Gi-Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I like all the other suggestions just fine, btw. Gigi is the only one I've no use for.
― Eric H., Friday, 24 August 2012 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
Minnelli's great when he's on, but he's not the ONLY awesome musical director out there.
prefer Hermione Baddeley to Hermione Gingold, eh? xp
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 18:37 (eleven years ago) link
well there's also Love Me Tonight for all you Chevalier bashers

(I believe that's Stephin Merritt's choice for #1 and he's seen plenty)
