The last 2 flicks I saw within the last week are The Getaway. Ali MacGraw was beautiful. The Quincy Jones soundtrack was on point too.

Other movie I saw was Cool Hand Luke. That egg eating scene makes me nauseous every time I see it.

Felt like watching some old school flicks. They don't make 'em like McQueen & Newman anymore... :smokin

Huge fan of McQueen, Newman, and Grant.

That reminds me I tried watching Rebel Without a Cause for the first time a few weeks ago and thought it was terrible. Does anyone in here like that movie? I know James Dean is somewhat of a cultural icon from that time, but didn't enjoy it at all

nope.  we just talked about it a couple days or so ago.  It's one of those "you had to be there" movies.  Didn't age well at all it seems

I saw FX was rerunning Buffy in the morning, and I subbed it just for this and Hush.

This was one of the greatest episodes of anything ever.

I might watch East of Eden to see if that is any better.

Charade and North by Northwest are two of my favorite movies from that era.
 
North by Northwest has been on my watch list for a minute, i've been trying to work through some Alfred Hitchcock works but i'm currently hung up on the series

and I'm thinking about watching The 39 Steps since it's on youtube
 
The next old school movie I'm going to rewatch is The Magnificent Seven which of course was loosely based on Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. I love the back story that Yul Brynner feuded with McQueen & how the production crew had to get rid of the wood boxes for Bryner stand on & instead create dirt humps (so he could be eye to eye with McQueen). Might make it a Western night & watch Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid too. :smokin

movie with feels? latest would probably be End of Watch, only cuz they ended it off with a "good 'ol times" memory of the smash story. Hit me thinking about my brothers

I'm like 45 minutes through 8 1/2 by Fellini and damn this is so good

I was hesitant to watch since I'm not a big fan of Anton Yelchin, but glad I finally clicked play on Netflix.

The director absolutely knocked the ball outta the park with Like Crazy.
