Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wtfboombrb: "The Night of The Hunter" (1955) with Robert Mitchum is a good one, which reminds me of German Expressionist films from the 1920's. Check out "Nosferatu" and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". Mitchum is even creepier in this one than he was in Cape Fear (1955) which is also an excellent movie. Here's another with Lee Marvin being his usual badass self. It was loosely remade as Payback (1999).  Attached FilePoint Blank (1967) |

The Lost Weekend.
Don't watch if you are currently an active alcoholic. Four Academy Awards This was made during WWII and.... The liquor industry launched a campaign to undermine the film even before its release. Allied Liquor Industries, a national trade organization, wrote an open letter to Paramount warning that anti-drinking groups would use the film to reinstate prohibition. Liquor interests allegedly enlisted gangster Frank Costello to offer Paramount $5 million to buy the film's negative in order to burn it. Wilder quipped that if they’d offered him $5 million, “I would have [burned the negative].” |

You can get the miniseries The Blue And The Gray on DVD, and it's really good without commercials and some cut scenes restored. I was in 4th or 5th grade when that was first shown and we got tabloid-style scripts. It was one of the first miniseries. Also around that time, The Day After, which if you look carefully, you might see my 13 year old self as an extra. I later owned and lived in one of the 548th SMG bases shown in the launch sequences.
We also got tabloid scripts for that. |

If you get a copy of The Body Farm, they exhumed Jiles Richardson, with the cooperation of his son, and there's a picture. Yay macabre.
Surprisingly, the vault they used kept the high water table of Beaumont out and the body was in very good condition. They used the type with the arch over a floorplate, instead of the standard box with a lid style common to the era, so it excludes water by natural air pressure.

I've been a fan of the old Johnny Weismuller Tarzan films since I was kid in the 60's. Even in my childhood, the SF and filming was way outdated and the films kind of campy, but there is just something about them I've always liked. Also had a huge crush on Maureen O'Sullivan. :)
