Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Watched "Cactus Flower" two nights ago; Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman, and Goldie Hawn-- her first movie and she won an Academy Award award for it. Hadn't seen it since it came out in 1969. I haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time! It fits your bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Raylan, your examples are not quite what I expected from your thread’s title! I enjoyed the new Netflix offering, “The Dig”, based on a true story and showing Voldemort in a different role. ”Darkest Hour”, the early days of Churchill in WWII, never gets old. ”Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell might be uplifting if I were a few years younger. I think “The Homesman” or “Hostiles” would fit in your list of examples. I watched them once, don’t expect to again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 The Queens Gambit is a great series to binge watch over two nights. The first episode is kind of dark, but the finale is 60 of the best movie minutes made in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 "The Next Voice You Hear"...starring James Whitmore, and Nancy Davis (you know her...she became the first lady, when she married Ronald Reagan). Very intriguing story, and also a snap-shot of how America was, back in the late 40's, and early 50's. That alone will make you cry. Better times, on a lot of levels. "Blood on the Moon"...starring Robert Mitchum, Walter Brennan, Robert Preston, Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Tully. Great, lessor known, western. "Ghost Breakers"....starring Bob Hope, Willie Best, Paulette Goddard, Anthony Quinn, Richard Carlson. Comedy/light horror. Tons more...but there is not enough room. W.K.

Warden Callaway Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Rear Window. James Stuart and Grace Kelly. We watched this some 40 years ago when the sons would rather watched cartoons. Oh how they complained. Slowly they got caught up in it and was on the edge of their seats before it was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, Lemmon reached the peak of 'everyman' romantic comedies. The Apartment. Good Neighbor Sam. Under the Yum Yum Tree. Of course "Some Like it Hot", one of the greatest comedies of all time. Many more. I watched The Taking of Pelham One Two Three last night, the 1974 version with Matthau, Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam. A good '70s thriller.
