Wake in Fright is on there now too.


WAKE IN FRIGHT 40th Anniversary Trailer

This movie totally rules. It's the "Citizen Kane" of early '70s Australian Donald Pleasence abject alcoholism movies.

This movie's great.

I'm in the middle of watching Computer Chess (2013). It's a weird little faux-documentary (dumb edit: it's a "mumblecore" movie rather than a faux-documentary) set in an early 1980s convention (which is chock full of the requisite weirdos and geeks) for computer chess programs. Pretty good so far.

I really liked Computer Chess i rented it on Amazon about a month back, i should have just waited.

The Long Goodbye is really, really good. The best adaptation of a Chandler novel I've seen (even though many liberties are taken with the source material), and Marty Augustine is perhaps one of the greatest noir villains ever.

Yup. This is one of the all-time greats. Marlowe's resigned motto "It's OK with me" has become something of a mantra for me (which is probably a bad sign.)

Love that one. I'm not actually that huge of an Altman fan, in that he made only two movies I consider truly great: That and McCabe and Mrs. Miller.

(Two great movies is nothing to sneeze at, of course; I just don't rate him as highly as many do.)

You don't like Nashville or 3 Women?

[cavorting with nudists]

I haven't actually seen 3 Women since it was released. Thieves Like Us came close. California Split might too, but I've never seen it under conditions where I could make out a line of dialogue. But no, for me Nashville misses by a mile.

California Split is another good one, I need to see Secret Honor ive heard its pretty good.

[buffcoat]

The craziest thing about Nashville to me is that he tried to sell Shelly DuVall as a sex symbol. Maybe that's because I saw Popeye, though.

[Bryan]

No, you're right. She's always been crazy looking.
