Why don't people watch films?

[Auld Phart]

"Kiss Of Death" made in 1947 with Victor Mature, Richard Widmark, Coleen Gray, Brian Donlevy and Karl Malden and directed by Henry Hathaway.

This film was Richard Widmark's film debut, he plays the completely psychotic Tommy Udo.

Here's the original trailer.



Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo.

Why don't people specifically watch more old films? I love them myself.

I've decided to choose two, one a perhaps little known, but wonderful British murder/mystery film from 1952 "Mr. Denning Drives North". It's okay the link doesn't give any of plot away:

Here's the full film, 1 hour 27 minutes:



Then as I love Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, as Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. I think "Sherlock Holmes and The House of Fear" from 1945 is excellent and very atmospheric.

Here's the full film, 1 hour 9 minutes:



If you watch these films, hopefully you'll like them.

Great start to a long career

"Scarface" made in 1932 with Paul Muni, Ann Dvorak, George Raft, Karen Morley, Boris Karloff and Osgood Perkins and directed by Howard Hawks.

Osgood Perkins was the father of Anthony Perkins.

This isn't the original trailer, I'm unable to find that, but it's a good trailer regardless.

Its called suspense

Yea well I want to see shocking or eventful scenes. Not 1:45 slow and last 15 minutes good. In tarantino there's suspense too but something interesting is happening in every scene.

I have another great movie. True romance

The only suspense in a Tarantino movie, usually, is wondering who's going to bleed next

If people want a film with a high bleed count....there's the brilliant "Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia"

The kill count is 25, 14 of them alone shot by Warren Oates, a magnificent actor.

"Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia" made in 1974 with Warren Oates, Isela Vega, Robert Webber and Gig Young and directed by Sam Peckinpah.

It's on TV now. Why did that guy knock that girl out? She just put her hand on his crotch.

Here's the original trailer.

In between the good scenes are very slow scenes. Typical of movies of this genre.

Omg why didn't he take the ten grand and go? Perhaps he lost too much and he's losing it. I hope it ends soon. These movies drag on. But in the end I already know I like this movie but the scenes are slow. I want to go meet a seniorita now.

Strange ending. Not a happy one

 

[sealybobo]

They are too slow.

I just watched a great 1972 movie. It was slow and dark but had great scenes. It wouldn't have been so bad without commercials.

Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia. Someone here recommended it and I woke up Saturday morning 3:30am and it was just starting so I said fuck it and rolled a fatty

It's a slow film, but it's worth it, like "Once Upon A Time In The West" and "The Day Of The Jackal" both slow films, but worth staying with.

I can't stand commercials interrupting films, it shouldn't be allowed.

I'm glad the film was on and you saw it and liked it, here in Europa it's not often on the television.

Barely

Blondie, (Penny Singleton) was cute, and worth watching, but Dagwood, (Arthur Lake) was a little weak to my thinking.

"Dinner At Eight" made in 1933 with Jean Harlow, Billie Burke, Edmund Lowe, Lionel Barrymore, Wallace Berry,
Marie Dressler and Lee Tracy and directed by George Cukor.

A brilliant film and pre-Hays Code.

"Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" made in 1950 with James Cagney, Barbara Payton, Steve Brodie, Barton MacLean, Ward Bond and Luther Adler and directed by Gordon Douglas and produced by William Cagney.

Barbara Payton, another of those doomed Platinum Blonde's, ended up dead in 1967 from booze and drugs at the age of 39 years-old. Her film career went completely South and her life went completely off the rails, ended up a street-walking prostitute.

"The Bad Sleep Well" made in 1960 with Toshiro Mifune, Masayuki Mori, Kyōko Kagawa and Takeshi Katō and directed by Akira Kurosawa.

This is my very favourite Kurosawa film.

"Twentieth Century" made in 1934 pre-Hays Code with John Barrymore, Carole Lombard, Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Ralph Forbes and Edgar Kennedy and directed by Howard Hawks.

I love Carole Lombard, very tragic that she died so young and in such a horrific way.

First were 'picture' shows, which were basically a slide show.

Next came Nickelodeons ,

Then moving pictures, which soon became shortened to movies

This is also an excellent film, we re-watched it the other night.
