What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

[Marcy Sheiner]

@Hermit Hogan. Loved Sat. Night, but I understand exhaustion--it was chaotic and hilarious, sometimes hard to watch.

 

[horseless carriage]

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was on television last night. It's perhaps best known for its pairing of Harrison Ford as the title character and Sean Connery as Indy's father, Henry Jones, Sr. The hard-nosed professor was a fitting match for the foolhardy archaeologist.

Highly enjoyable given that I have never actually seen the entire film before. Lots of snippets but that was about it.

Sean Connery in my opinion was the best 007 and Hunt for Red October was art .

I found truly underrated saw it some cable channel couple days ago , a Senior type movie so loved it .

Hmm. Different take.

I'd say "prissy, domineering professor" vs "intrepid field archaeologist."

But, But, I still remember the first SNLs like it was yesterday! @HermitHogan
Too soon, IMO
Have the decency to wait till we're dead

IMO the first ones from the '70s were the best. Can't watch it today.

Looks good. I just put a hold on the DVD from my public library. Should have it soon.

Thanks for the tip!

I hope you enjoy it as a touching , different type movie with great actors .

We watched London Has Fallen last night. Lot's of stuff gets blown up and lots of people get shot, punched, and stabbed.

Sorry if I gave away too much of the plot.

Labeled by some as the worst film ever made, it has solidly grown in campiness since 1957. Director/producer Ed Wood was a kooky guy-- the type who could have only existed in Hollywood.

Speaking of that, the film Ed Wood (1994), about his life & times, is a wonderful picture starring Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, and a list of top actors. If one hasn't seen it, it's an unusual and fascinating film.

REC 2 (2010), scarier than the first it picks up at the end of 1 and even overlaps some. Turns out that the plague is linked to demonic possession, adding another angle to the horror.

They made a 3rd (and maybe 4th?) but they pale compared to the original two films.

 

[Dave03]

A vastly underrated movie.

A vastly underrated movie.

Actually, it's fairly highly rated. 7.5 on IMDB. Good movie!

The Arrival (sci/fi)

 

[KSav]

The original Nosferatu (1922). Very creepy! I'm glad I had already read Dracula this past year; it helped me follow the plot more accurately. Definitely recommended.

Did you see The Last Voyage of the Demeter ?

I hope they follow up with a second and end it there but most did not like it .

I read much of Dracula while passenger in a car on a bright sunny day. It was the part where the Count says "children of the night." I was so freaked out, and couldn't believe the sun was shining and here I was, scared & terrified. Great, great work by Bram Stoker. It's not like I was reading, alone, in a dark room on a stormy night, but it felt that way.

Based on another thread here, I watched "Paul" last night (DVD from my library). Entertaining, with a good cast. SFers have steered me toward numerous interesting books, movie, and websites.
Resident Alien Fans...Have You Seen Paul?

No, but I meant to mention, it's on my watch list!

The Arrival (sci/fi)

I don't recall that much about the picture, even though it was only 9 years ago. I remember thinking that it was very slow; and that it was a waste of Jeremy Renner. Amy Adams was fine, but the movie never quite jelled.

 

[HermitHogan]

We watched What Lies Beneath this evening starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. It's a decent horror movie. We'd seen it before, but since I'm old, I'd forgotten most of it.

 

[dilettante]

The Arrival (sci/fi)

Arrival (2016) or The Arrival (1996)?

Very different films. One a huge budget long-winded sob story with weak science as furniture, the other a very low budget mild scifi thriller.

If it was that bad, why did you watch it? I started to watch a movie the other day called Black Rose that I saw listed on YouTube. The description said it was a "Powerful Action Movie" and was starring Adrian Paul.

I watched 5 minutes of it and hit the stop button. Jebidiah Atkinson would have hated it "Next!"

Rated 2.8 on IMDB.

I always check the IMDB rating before watching a movie. If it's not at least a 6, it's probably not very good.
