There was a time when both of these actors made wonderful films.Unfortunately that time has long gone.

It was a good lighthearted comedy - nothing taxing but a few humourous elements. Good for all the family.

Saw !977's The Goodbye Girl again last night.Enjoyable rom-com.What happened to Richard Dreyfuss's subsequent career is adequate testimony to the dangers of cocaine

you mean the various nominations for Mr. Holland's Opus; The Day Reagan Was Shot; The Education of Max Bickford; The Old Man Who Read Love Stories

and great films such as
Whose Life Is It Anyway?
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
What about Bob
The American President
W
Postcards from the Edge
Stakeout
Tin Men
Nuts

etc etc.

I don't think he's had a bad run.

Depends whether you're talking about quality or quantity I suppose.Give me American Grafitti or The Goodye Girl to any of the films you mention.

Saw the original (1962) Cape Fear again last night.Wonderful psychological thriller Fitting tribute to Hitchcock.Bob Mitchum was superb.

Was flicking through Netflix with mum and dad and we decided on 365 days. Obviously not knowing what it actually included. That was an interesting watch ?

 

[Napster]

Little Fockers, which was better I thought than Meet the Fockers. Great casting as well.
Last night, Bad Grandpa which was terrible, (off after 20 mins), then the Family, (De Niro/Pfeiffer/Lee Jones), which had a great cast, but it just felt a bit off - plot was all over the place, but some bits of good humour, and a few decent action pieces.

Finally managed to watch 1917 last night. Apart from being a superb film, the camera work - just, wow.

Black Mama White Mama (1973)
Blaxploitation film starring Pam Grier, about 2 escaped female prisoners from very different backgrounds (one a hooker, the other a freedom fighter) who are trying to avoid re-capture whilst chained together at the wrist. Lots of violence, guns, tits - great fun! The new scan looks absolutely amazing on Blu-ray too. 7/10

Black Narcissus (1947)
Psychological drama from The Archers, made in glorious Technicolor between A Matter of Life & Death and The Red Shoes (and easily as good as both of those - high praise indeed). A small group of nuns lead by Deborah Kerr are invited to set up a school and hospital in a remote valley in the Himalayas and following a bright start things get pretty dark. As you'd expect from Powell, Pressburger and Jack Cardiff it looks absolutely stunning and fantastic performances from the whole ensemble drive the movie to its dramatic conclusion. Wonderful stuff. 9.5/10

Jack Cardiff did the photography on my dads film. Way ahead of his time.

Wow - what film is that? I do love Jack Cardiff's work.

Western Approaches, old wartime film directed by Pat Jackson. Pretty much all serving members of the Merchant Service and Royal Navy. The old man thought he was going to be the next John Wayne ?

Saw Robert Mulligan's (1962) To Kill a Mockingbird again last night.Simply wonderful film.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Vittorio De Sicca's (1948) Bicycle Thieves last night.A post WW2 classic of neo-realist cinema.Ken Loach is a big fan apparently.Loved the moving portayal of the relationship between father and son in post-war,post -Fascist Italy.
