Good Movies

Off the wall comedy from 1965!

Haven’t gone to the movies since before COVID until last weekend when Lucy and I went to see “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.” A very good movie!

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is old fashioned filmmaking at its best. Lesley Manville steals the show. Loved every minute of it.

A really good comedy-mystery from 1963. One of my all-time favorites.

I know only the main theme which is superb. I suspect the rest of the soundtrack is at least very good as well.

Another Henry Mancini triumphant effort.

i dont know i wonder that too

ps. dont miss this one too:

Have just seen the 2022 theatrical re-release of Avatar in 4k HDR + 3D. I’m reminded of what a stunning achievement it was. James Cameron … who else. A picture that must be seen in the theater to be appreciated.

Can’t wait for Avatar: The Way of Water. It will be helmed by James Cameron again. Release in December.

Cameron is truly a groundbreaking director, conceptually, visually and innovatively. He blazes pathways that lesser directors will find difficult to emulate. Another director who runs parallel to Cameron currently (in my opinion) is Denis Villeneuve. His visual style, pacing, color palate and overall ability to integrate the plethora of details involved with creating a first rate film (Arrival, Dune P1, P2, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario) should give them a rather long shelf life. Much like Kubrick.

Good Night;

I just watched the silent classic ‘The Lodger’ a couple of days ago when they showed it on TCM and really liked it. One of Hitchcock’s earliest films.


Hideo Gosha’s chanbara film Three Outlaw Samurai, three Samurai assist a peasant village in over throwing a tyrannical magistrate.

Here’s a real rarity for you, SciFi fans:

From 1970. Directed by Joseph Sargent. Way ahead of its time. About an automated US defense system that becomes sentient. It requests to be connected to a similar Soviet defense system and the President agrees in hopes of usurping the Soviet system to our advantage. The two sentient systems soon become more sophisticated than their human inventors and when an attempt is made to sever the link, the two systems launch missiles at the other country. To force the leaders to re-establish the link or face total annihilation. The two systems tap into every camera and microphone on the planet to monitor the humans, who can’t even meet in secret to devise a plan to retake control. I can only remember seeing this super-rare flick once, and it was unforgettable. I’ve been hoping to rent it ever since. Still topical to this day.
