What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Top Gun on Paramount+..

Our usual fare of Christmas DVD's-brought out this time of year.

Here is an anomaly to the season. 'The GREAT WAR of Archimedes', Sinking of the World's Largest Battleship. DVD picked out of the WalMart $5 bin (Well, $7.50 bin-inflation and all). A Japanese production with English sub-titles. Pre-WWII story of a young Japanese math genius conscripted into the Japanese Navy and the building of the battleship Yamato.

Not usually a ship guy, this story turned out to be much more and quite compelling, especially if historically accurate. I give it two thumbs up.

Sharon can't stand sub-titles so had to watch it alone. Got used to sub-titles on numerous flights between Hawaii and Korea back in the 1990's. These days mentally switch between sub-titles and language foreign to my ears depending on the emotion displayed on-screen.

This is the second really good movie I've gotten out of the $5 ($7.50) bin at WalMart. Taking time during the busy shopping session to peruse the stack pays off for me. Cheers. Arnold

Christmas Story - My wife and I both relate to this movie as it is set in a climate and time similar to when and where we both grew up.

Since our WIFi was out for 12 hrs with the huge storm (thank goodness we never lost power) we had to dig into our limited library of DVDs. We watched an old favorite: "Willow" then Neil Gaiman's "Mirror Mask".
Have watched the "Santa Clause" movies and recent episodes when we could stream them. Very fun!

Also - "TROLL" was VERY good! Not scary - just a cool legend!

[Been There]

Which one?

Disney. Later today, I saw that the Dickens version from 1951 is on cable.

 

[Pepper]

1951 is my favorite @Been There

 

[Been There]

1951 is my favorite @Been There

Wasn’t there an earlier version, maybe in the 30’s or 40’s? I thought when I was a child, I saw an old, old version.

 

[Pepper]

Yes. 1938. I like that too @Been There

 

[Been There]

Yes. 1938. I like that too @Been There

I will have to see if it’s available for purchase. That was the first version I watched with my parents.

 

[Pepper]

I think 1938 is the second best Xmas Carol. Glad you have this beautiful memory.

My 3 kids always liked The "Muppet Christmas Carol" - its supposed to be one of the closest to the book. I remember "Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol", I know, sacrilegious but still fun!

Pyewacket

I always want to name one of my cats Pyewacket. But always got outvoted in favor of other names.

Watched the movie called The Score a few days ago. Very good movie with a twist not expected that made it even better. Very good acting by Norton and DeNiro, too.

Watching "Christmas in Connecticut" on TCM right now!

 

[Packerjohn]

"A New Kind Of Love" starring Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward from 1963. It was AWFUL! It was so bad that I only watched the 1st 7 minutes and stopped it. It had women wearing furs, smoking on the plane and the acting made me sick. Totally, outdated film. Really bad. I think I will stick with Rawhide and Gunsmoke. Clint Walker as "Cheyenne" is pretty good too!

Now we are onto "Meet Me in St. Louis" LOVe LOve LOve

Falling in Love on Prime. 1984, Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep. I thought it was very good. About a married man and married woman who fall in love.
