Are you doing both or are you going to pick one?

The four I'm potentially targeting from the Buried Treasures are State of the Union, Threads, The Collector and The Beguiled.
For the 2010s there are 7 I haven't seen and I can't say I have any interest in any of them except Five Came Back. Not sure if I want to make that investment though so I'll probably do 1-2 from the first list.

Curious about your interest in State of the Union.
I'd be very interested in your opinion on The Collector. Curious if the characters decisions will make you want to throw your TV at me in a couple of spots. (That's a kind of divisiveness I can take.)

Take your pick. :)
From the 2010s list Warrior jumps out as one where your opinion could greatly effect me when I marathon this list myself next year. Kill List would be a 2nd choice because of the way it goes a long time on mystery and intrigue and builds to something I initially kind of hated but came to love.


From the Buried Treasures and Discoveries, Colossus: The Forbin Project has sound logic to me, but I can see you giving detailed reasons why it doesn't work. It's also embalmed in the 1970s sci-fi aesthetic you should consider as enticing or a warning.

The Music Room should be my top priority.

I'm also interested in:
Angel
Threads
Salaam Cinema
Seance on a Wet Afternoon
Footlight Parade
Jackie Chan: My Stunts
The Tin Star

That's enough for now.  Prefrence?

oldkid,

I just started writing thoughts which may be more than you want to know right now. My three recommendations for you would be
The Music Room
Footlight Parade
The Tin Star





The Music Room is interesting for me because most see it as 2nd or 3rd tier Satyajit Ray, but it's my #1 slightly above the more popular The Lonely Wife, The Big City and the Apu trilogy. It's the Ray that has that little something extra to me, and after watching it you can read my big review.

Angel: Seen this 3 times and each time I go in with a vague memory and come out with no doubt it belongs in my Essentials. Ernst Lubitsch balancing comedy, drama and a story with no definite line from A to Z and Marlene Dietrich like I've never seen her.

Threads: I've seen this one come up a lot and I can imagine people building resentment as it begins. It looks like a indie film or home movie but ultimately brings a documentary distance to nuclear holocaust, which is a very effective approach.

Tin Star is a great Western pick for March. There's a subplot I don't think anyone likes, but most of the film is Henry Fonda dishing out Western wisdom to Anthony Perkins. Anthony Mann brings the tension.

Footlight Parade: James Cagney at his peak. Also, the definitive Warner Bros./Busby Berkeley musical (with almost all the numbers jammed into the 3rd Act.) Watch this and you'l understand every time I mention Joan Blondell, Dick Powell, Frank McHugh, Ruth Donnelly and Hugh Herbert.

Sandy,

No Name on the Bullet: THE Audie Murphy movie that convinced Antares and I.
Thanks Antares, I would love to see a movie with Audie Murphy and one that's Shane and Wilson simultaneously? An added bonus.

Silver Lode: It's also a Noir. Dan Duryea in one of his best performances, menacing Lizabeth Scott.
Lizbeth Scott and Dan Duryea were a great pairing, both wicked smart and nasty pieces of work, and perfect for each other.

Wichita: Top Joel McCrea and the director of Canyon Passage
I believe, I've only seen McCrea in Sullivan's Travels, so can't help in the "what makes [him] such an appealing Western hero?" You've got me curious.



I wonder how close Corndog is to Silver Lode in his Marathon? Seems he might get to it this month too.
