What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I think I might have seen it before because I knew the "Love Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry" line at the end.

Do you think they had enough chase scene cliches?

I'm trying to remember another movie I saw that had a duffle bag mix up. Wait....Sylvester Stallone, Oscar.

This What's Up Doc movie made me laugh at some parts and Barbara Streisand was lovable but the whole second half was painful to sit through.

I'm suing IMDB for the false 7.6 rating it gave this. I would have given it 6.5 or less.

[chuckle] Well, those chase scenes weren't cliche in 1972. The scenes with the characters going in and out of hotel room doors was very clever. And I roared during the lost cart careening down the hill through a Chinese parade, and missing an enormous pain of glass across the road [you know what happens]. A guy runs away from the unleashed barrels, jumps over a wall, only to land on a patron's restaurant table had me gasping from laughter.

I'm not even a Steisand fan, but she was first rate in this one.

Screwball comedies are very difficult to pull off. I can't think of a good one in the past 50 years, although there may be 1 or 2 that I'm not recalling.

This film seems like they didn't have enough money to do it right. The script was all over the place without any coherency. That courtroom scene could have been left on the cutting room floor. But with all its bloated scenes, it still was only an hour and a half.
I was glad to watch it because the early scenes were hilarious and showing some real promise. It just looks like they had no script after a certain point in the movie and had to extend action without dialogue.

@ChiroDoc Don't forget the court room scene at the end-- the cherry on top! LOLOL

Edit--ah I see where @OldFeller panned the court room scene... oh well...
 
I also watched "Remarkably Bright Creatures". I love Sally Fields.

I do not want to ruin the movie by saying too much.
I enjoyed it, Marcellus was great!

I watched The Sting tonight. I noticed it was offered for free on the official YouTube Movie section and since I haven't watched it in a very long time I decided to watch it. I enjoyed watching it just as much as when I last watched it years ago :). I know that Redford and Newman got all the publicity for the movie but on this watch I noticed how great Eileen Brennan was in her role. I'm glad I took the nostalgic trip tonight.


On a side note, YouTube is offering a good selection of movies for free this month. Just hit the Movie and TV tab on the left and then select the Free Movies that are offered. If you don't hit the free tab, you will see many movies that are offered on other streaming services and will have to sub to the service to watch the movie, much like Prime does when going through what is offered on that interface. I'm a Premium YouTube member so there were no commercials when I watched the movie but I am assuming there are for non Premium members.
