Jet's FlixMix-Remakes
Double up with Remakes! Not all remakes are good—usually not good at all. But here are a few from different genres that carry their weight make for pretty interesting nights for classics. The Thing 1982/The Thing from Another World 1951 (science fiction) A Star is Born 1937/1954 and 1976 (the 1954 version with Judy Garland is my pick) (a true melodrama) Lady for a Day 1933/Pocket Full of Miracles 1961 (both directed by William Wyler) (Comedy-drama) Roxy Hart 1942/Chicago 2002 (musical) These Three 1936/The Children's Hour 1961 (both directed by William Wyler) (heavy drama) 3:10 to Yuma 1957/3:10 to Yuma 2007 (the original is excellent black and white)(western) |

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!!!

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!!

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.

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... Quote:

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: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWh5R1t3820"]YouTube- #489) THE LAST OF SHEILA (1973)[/ame] 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....

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... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiWHw98XI60"]YouTube- Jimmy Stewart in The FBI Story: Library Proposal Scene[/ame] 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...
