Psycho is on tonight on the Chiller Channel.

Watch if you dare!

Jet's FlixMix-Remakes
 

Not sure I understand what you mean...I hate remakes...even of bad 'B' pics. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Tho I must admit, I like The Children's Hour way better then Those 3 any day of the week! And, yep, A Star Is Born - I like Judy in ANYTHING!!!

well, that's your opinion. i think these are good remakes and that's my opinion.

I don't get 'Chiller Channel' whatever that is...but I do have Psycho on tape, and can watch it anytime I want. But you know, after seeing it a gazillion times, it never fails to entrap and mesmerize me - that's the Hitchcock magic at work!!

And we all know that we're entitled to them...opinions, that is.

I'm watching Psycho and then i'm watching another horror flick.

Enjoy...I'll watch TCM for awhile if there's anything worthwhile.

remind me never to accept an invitation to sandwiches and milk

The Nanny, 1965
 

I think one of the best psychological thrillers from Bette Davis is The Nanny, 1965
Check out the trailer.

This is a shpooky...movie...about a nanny whose charge are the two children
of a young, wealthy London couple.

The youngest child, a little girl, dies from a freak drowning accident,
but leaves her older brother suspect and sent away.
When he returns to find their nanny still in the household,
he does everything to protect himself from her in an intense cat and mouse game.

Gee,not even if there's stuffed birds involved? lol

I love Bette Davis, but this is so not my cup of tea, so, I think I'll pass....
I guess she was needing money desparetedly at this point to consend to this type of film...

never saw it? vintage davis and really well done. others may like it, so i'm putting it out here for those looking for classic movies.

Well, whatever...I just don't like seeing 'The Davis' in that sort of movie...OK, I'm done.

then she must have consented to Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte and Baby Jane since they were done in a row...must have needed money?

TCM is great tonight. Plenty of sci-fi B flicks from the 50s.

I'm not a big fan of James Coburn or his movies per se.

But there is a great sort of clock and dagger, whodunit that really is good.
The Last of Sheila plays like a sophistocated Clue game
leaving you at the very last asking, "what really happened to Sheila?"
Most of the movie takes place on a yacht, leaving a cast of star-studded
actors as suspects into the disappearance of Sheila.
I recommend this as a great little psychological whodunit from the 70's.
And well worth the watch and the rent if you can get it.
There aren't any good lifts from YouTube, but at least there's visuals:

See you at the movies...

5 Easy Pieces
 

There's a thousand comments we could all make about Jack Nicholson as to what makes him a fantastic actor,
a few not even preferring Nicholson.
I won't share my views about Nicholson other than to say the first time I ever saw him was in 5 Easy Pieces in 1970.
He was nominated for Best Actor. All I remember was his profound presence on screen
and the fact that he made everything seem so real. I thought, "I've never seen anybody like that!"
The best scene of all was in the famous diner scene
which typifies Nicholson's edgy, off the cuff presence.
It's awesome and I'd recommend viewing it as well as a great movie which about...

Summary, 5 Easy Pieces

Robert Dupea has given up his promising career as a concert pianist and is now working in oil fields.
He lives together with Rayette, who's a waitress in a diner.
When Robert hears from his sister that his father isn't well, he drives up to Washington to see him,
taking Rayette with him. There he gets confronted with his rich, cultured family that he had left behind.

See ya at the movies....

Loved Susan Hayward.

I like sitting down to a classic just because it is classic even if it's not great.
I like The FBI Story as unreal as it was because I like Jimmy Stewart movies.
J. Edgar Hoover had script approval being the paranoid, schizo control freak that he was...

I like The Glenn Miller Story too. Helen Miller did wear a size
3 and 1/2 shoe. A peer of mine and I wrote a 3 hour docudrama
for radio on the life Glenn miller called "The Major." They did locate
his single-engine monoplane, a Norseman, in the English channel, a few year's back.
I speculate that, if he would have lived, Glenn Miller would have been a great composer
and arranger in films. He had already done two movies before entering the army and forming the AAF band.
Here's the scene when he discovers "the sound...' after Willie Schwartz cuts his lip on a trumpet. The story is legend but it is a nice one...
