    I recently watched Five Easy Pieces, Monty Python Life Of Brian, Cool Hand Luke all for the first time.

    I keep watching these 60s/70s anti hero movies and most of them suck. Many I saw back in the day and liked but did not care for much today.

    Cool Hand Luke was good though.

    I just saw Strangers On A Train on the big screen. Hitchcock classic. I'd seen it before. Great double feature with Throw Momma From A Train.

    Lifeboat by Hitchcock. From a story by Steinbeck.

    Good stuff.

    Just saw this for the first time last year. Intense. Loved it.

    I havent seen nor read "To Kill A Mockingbird"...I lose my cool card in the book department as well.

    I just saw this for the first time a few weeks ago, but i have to admit that it didn't grab me...

    Maybe I was in the wrong mood for it or something because I thought it would be a movie I would really dig...

    dood.

    How are you supposed to know how to act/dance/dress/talk around your mod-60s-star-trek-convention buddies??? This is an uber offense of the highest order in the 'mod community', especially fro someone of your rank and stature. Think of the children.

    well, there werent any pictures. but from what i remember, i read it real fast and the author isnt all wordy. 2 important details for me at least.

    the movie is great too!

    I think if you've seen 'Riot On The Sunset Strip' and 'Smashing Time' you get a pass on Quadrophenia...

    Are you freals?!! That's a hillarious double feature.

    I love when you are at a party and you hear people say "It's just like in ________" "I've never seen it" "OH MY GOD YOU HAVEN'T SEEN __________"?

    I know people who haven't seen Star Wars... or Raiders of the Lost Ark.
    No one's seen everything.. well except those crazy people in NYC that watch 5-7 movies a day (as documented in some documentary I saw about them).

    I liked Alphaville a little more than Breathless, if only for the weird sci fi angle, but overall I have to admit that I just don't "get" Godard.

    I used to be embarassed by this, but now I think I just don't care...

    Yes it is. Big time.
    I remember reading somewhere that Pentagon was screening that movie a few years back to find out why they fucked up in Iraq.
