Older movies you watched lately.....?

[Dave6T4]

Me too!
I have a movie on my dvr called "Topper Returns". A ghost movie with good special effects, for the thirties. Topper drives a Mercedes 540K special roadster. (Actually his chauffeur does, Eddie Rochester Anderson,
from Jack Benny's show).
This thing is driven thru wooden barrels, blockaded roads, and several other hazards, very cringe-worthy.
( by the way, a restored version of this same car sold a few years back.... for Eleven million dollars).

And I have a Hot Wheels of the Phantom Corsair...... somewhere.

The original "Topper" car was built on a 1936 Buick Roadmaster chassis.

Here's that car you speak of.

The car was wide, for its day, and the front seat sat 4. One front seat passenger sat between the driver and the driver's side door! The rear seat was a wrap-around one, somewhat like the rear seat in a '60's Thunderbird "Landau".

Boy howdy what a great western. It's up there with the best.

Watched Galaxy of Terror. I'd heard of it before but never seen it. It's a low rent Alien knock off. The cast and sets are pretty good but the rest is goofy. There is a hot blonde officer that gets raped by a giant caterpillar. I guess that actress is a famous "Scream Queen" fixture.

Quicksand with Michael Keaton. 2003. So far it's great. Free on Roku.

I like everything Keaton has been in.

Watched Full Metal Jacket today while the wife was napping.

Yesterday I took some me time after working 7 days.

I watched Once Upon a Time in the West. The “un-cut” version, I think 164 minutes.

This movie is often cited as one of the best ever made. I never really understood that praise, and I think it’s because I didn’t realize the version I had watched before had 20 minutes cut from it.

The full version makes a lot more sense.

I thought that Charles Bronson did a pretty good job of replacing Clint Eastwood, who declined the role of 'Harmonica'.

I think all of the main characters were great, I just feel that the different parts of the story didn’t really join together like they should have.

Watching WOLF with Jack Nicolson and Michelle Pfeiffer. Now that M.P. is a little older she's a dead ringer for my sister. Sis is only 5'1" but the face and hair are the same. My sis may be a little bustier.

 

[YY1]

That "stone cold" Michelle Pfeifer, that "white gold"?

 

[Budnicks]

I watched 'Armageddon' yesterday, been a while
1993, Bruce Willis flick, Ben Afleck (not my favorire) & Liv Tyler
a bunch of other recognizable actors, Billy Bob Thornton
(sad what he's going thru now) the oil crew was a riot...
It's about a bunch of offshore roughnecks, Bruce is the boss
2 shuttles going to space, intercept/land on an asteroid after going around the moon
to drill an asteroid to save the earth, with a nuke down the hole...

it wasn't bad, I thought it was a lot cheesier that it actually was...

Enjoy

I watched this one over the weekend. It was good.

I watched this one tonight. Meh, but Jill Ireland was easy on the eyes - and would have been even better in the uncensored version.

Cliff Robertson stars as Jack Kennedy.

Good movie. I never saw this one before.

Good movie. I never saw this one before.

I read the book when I was a kid. It made a big impression on me. I think I saw the movie years and years ago. I’m going to watch it again.

I'm working my way through the 007 movies starting from Dr. No - just finished Octopussy.
