Been revisiting 1970's NYC films. Ones I hadn't watched up until recently include Klute, Born To Win, Annie Hall, The 7 Ups, Marathon (probably 80's), All That Jazz amongst others that I'd watched years ago but couldn't quite remember.

I watched Death Race 2000 the other day. Hilariously bad. Loved it.
The funniest part was Machine Gun Joe's fight with Frankenstein and Sly's stunt double.
Firstly, he needed a stunt double for that lame fight?? And b) the double looked more like Jim Belushi (he was facing the camera for most of it).
My dad and I have been watching the Warner Oland-starring Charlie Chan movies because it brings him childhood memories of watching films and serials being projected onto school playground walls on Saturday mornings. We saw the '36 Olympics one and "..the Opera" with Boris Karloff. I also saw "Black Fist" (amazing what slips through the public domain cracks!) and "Rollerball" for the first time
I was in Mexico on hollyday last month and I came across a guy wearing a t-shirt that read, "Death Rake 2009". I wanted to ask him about it so badly but he was with his son and I felt a bit awkward. As fate would have it, later that day he wound up standing next to me while some guys were doing the ol' Danza de los Voladores in a park, so I figured I had to ask. Turns out he works on a blueberry farm and it's the name the workers gave to blitz when they harvest the berries. Awesome.
have you seen that director's first film? I forget what it's called, and can't bother looking it up, but I don't really recommend it anyway. So this post is more of a warning to let you know you'll be in for some disappointment if you get sold on watching E. Elias Mhehrhigheh directorial debut.

Word, nah I didn't know. I thought this was his first film.
Ill peep it out anyway.
Another one I'm surprised I hadn't seen previously. Great cast, great idea, a lot of fun and rewardingly gory for a late eighties flick. Would recommend.
Always wanted to see this but lost track of it. Recently realized that it was by the guy who made Pineapple Express (which I love). Really amazing movie; though not for everyone.

I like this movie, have been meaning to watch Pineapple Express and never get around to it. He has another film called All The Real Girls that manages to be incredibly corny and brilliant at the same time but it mainly alternates between the two, sometimes in the same scene.
I saw this for the first time, on a big screen, Friday night. The Revelations inspired first trip scene was insane. Where are my floaters at?
I just read the book. The entire film being shot in first person POV, with mirror shots to change it up once in a while, was interesting. Montgomery, also the director, doing Marlowe's voice over was funny without intent at moments, but I could see how this would be "revolutionary" by '40s standards.
I realized that I haven't seen many movies from the 80s (compared to, say, the 40s and 70s), so I have been on a John Carpenter kick recently. I've already seen "Assault On Precinct 13" and "Escape From New York" years back, but never "The Thing", "Big Trouble In Little China" (guilty confession: the trailer to this scared me as a little kid), "They Live" or "Prince Of Darkness". I'm just finishing up the latter. This shit is great.
Finally peeped Rosemary's Baby last night. Not scary, but entertaining.
^^^ Obvs doesn't have kids
Seriously though, the ending of that film is truly the most frightening of all - the motherly instinct to want to nurture the spawn of the devil? I picked up the Criterion Collection on Blu-ray of the movie last year, upgrading my VHS.
I finally saw Badlands last weekend, after previously seeing all of Malick's other films (aside from his latest). It really helped inform his later films and interesting to see how much of Badlands you see in films by other people - the part in Wes Anderson's Moonlight Kingdom with the two kids dancing seems like homage in retrospect, to name one example.

Then he gradually gentrifies the whole neighborhood, sells at a ridiculous profit, moves to Long Island, and votes for Romney.

Loved it all over again

Yeah, its more creepy than scary.
The Tenant is good too. Same vibe, but creepier and more disturbing IMO.
Been awhile since I've seen it back in the 90s, but I wanted to show my girlfriend a film that's shot entirely in one room. Extremely hard to make.
"Serpico"
"Vertigo"
so dope !
