2. Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
3. Darkness (2002)
4. Selma (2014)

Tonight and Every Night (1945) was a OK "life in the trenches" type WWII film. If they weren't in a fallout shelter waiting for the bombs to stop falling they were in the theater doing a song & dance routine. I can see it being good, lighthearted, entertainment in the war years but it didn't do much for me as the songs just weren't that memorable. The best part was Rita Hayworth being in almost every scene.

Thanks! BUT it's not "that" long as I have the "US" version which is cut to ~1hr 50min from the original ~2:20 run time. It was "OK" but just not my "cup of tea" as it's a Romance/Drama. I actually own two versions of this one. The one I watched last night and one starring Greta Garbo (the reason I purchased that version and it, too, is in my unwatched pile). I'm not a huge fan of Vivien Leigh and always see her as Scarlet O'Hara because, to me, she plays everything pretty much the same and it's the "Scarlet" role I saw her in first. I've never read Tolstoy's novel but I'm sure it's better than this adaptation. I've read this is one of the lesser ones which is why I wanted to see *it* before I watch the Garbo version, which I've read is very good. I must admit that I was somewhat surprised at the end. It was something I absolutely did not expect.

Good pick, I wanted to jump back in and choose Lethal Weapon. I recently revisited the series. Sequels didn't hold up as well as back then but even then I didn't care much for 4. 3 was just ok but I used to like 2.

I have a *very* vague recollection of the first and second films and don't recall seeing any of the others, if I saw them at all (doubtful). I almost picked Beverly Hills Cop II but she's already seen one "lesser" sequel this month with Back to the Future: Part II and I didn't want to do it to her again.

2. Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
3. Darkness (2002)
4. Selma (2014)
5. Equilibrium (2002)
6. Kiss of the Damned (2012)
7. The Giver (2014)
8. Get Hard (2015)
9. Sisters (2015)
10. Carmen Jones (1954)

Y Tu Mama Tambien is part road trip, part coming of age with a side of social and political commentary. It was a little startling the first time the narrator broke into the movie (I actually thought there was something wrong with the sound on my Blu-ray), but I appreciated the style after I became accustomed to it. I would recommend the movie.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was real groovy, baby! Much better than the film that inspired it and which it somewhat satirizes. It was a fun little trippy flashback to the late 60s and full of ridiculously quotable lines.

The Great Moment (1944) was pretty good. I was surprised at the amount of humor in a "serious" type film/topic. I've not read up on the dentist who was portrayed in the film to see just how accurate, historically, it might be but it was entertaining to watch the discovery and beginnings of anesthesia use in surgery.

It wasn't as sappy.

Equilibrium started off a little slow but it got better. Quite a bit of action and not a lot of dialogue. It really picked up during the last 30 minutes. The fight scenes were good and I think Christian Bale played the part well.

My list:
1. Lila & Eve (2015)
2. Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
3. Darkness (2002)
4. Selma (2014)

On the Avenue (1937) makes 4 "good ones" in a row! While nothing truly "special" it's a fun little trifle with a few good songs. I was pleasantly surprised to see Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry (aka Stepin Fetchit) in the film. I always enjoy seeing him perform. Dick Powell turned in a typically good performance, The Ritz Brothers performed some of their schtick, and many character actors of the era were in attendance. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Joan Davis - a comedienne who later starred in TV's I Married Joan.

I enjoyed Carmen Jones. I wasn't sure how it was going to end but the story kind of reminded me of Lolita. I would've enjoyed it more if there had been a little less singing (and I'm a person who enjoys musicals). I didn't see the point in singing about getting on the train. They could've just had the dialogue for that.

My list:
1. Lila & Eve (2015)
2. Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
3. Darkness (2002)
4. Selma (2014)
5. Frailty (2001)

A Song Is Born (1948) was a good choice. It's a remake of a Frank Capra favorite of mine, Pot of Gold, written by Billy Wilder (a favorite writer/director). While it's not quite as good as the original it has a completely different selection of songs and features several Jazz greats. Overall a quite entertaining film.

I really wanted to like Scanners, but it just didn't grab my attention. I'm not sure if I was distracted by the poor acting in some places or just wasn't in the right mood. I should probably try watching it again sometime when I'm not so tired.

I'm switching to a list for the horror challenge.
  • Apollo 18 (2011)
  • Orphan (2009)
  • Videodrome (1983)
  • Dead Snow (2009)
  • The Fly (1958)
  • Sleepaway Camp (1983)
  • Saw (2004)
  • Gremlins (1984)
  • Insidious (2010)
  • Jaws 2 (1978)

Saved List:

Spoiler:
  • There Will Be Blood (2007)
  • Badlands (1973)
  • Lucy (2014)
  • Much Ado About Nothing (2012)
  • Insomnia (1997)

[*]Orphan (2009)
I pick Orphan. I thought it was an interesting film and not what I was expecting.

Darkness was pretty good. It reminded me a little of Amityville Horror but then went a completely different direction than I expected. Overall I enjoyed the film and thought it was interesting.

My list:
1. Lila & Eve (2015)
2. Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
3. Unforgiven (1992)
4. Selma (2014)
5. Frailty (2001)
6. Kiss of the Damned (2012)
7. The Giver (2014)
8. Get Hard (2015)
9. Sisters (2015)
10. Ride Along (2014)

I *finally* made time to watch A Farewell to Arms (1957). I enjoyed it about as much as the 1932 version. That means not much at all. I've seen it. I'll not watch it again.

2. High Anxiety (1977)
High Anxiety because it's a Mel Brooks film and I like most of his work. This is not one of my favorites of his but it has its moments. It helps quite a bit if you're familiar with many of Hitchcock's films as those are what's being spoofed this time out. I'm not much of a Hitchcock fan and that's part of why I don't care for this one as much.

I gave Kick-Ass 2 the same rating as Kick-Ass because it was a fun flick. But I agree that the first was better. What I don't understand is why they are called "Kick-Ass" when they're more about Hit-Girl.

Anything Else (2003) is a fairly typical Woody Allen film. That means I enjoyed it. He's done better, he's also done worse. Jason Biggs essentially plays the role Allen would normally play himself but Allen's a bit too old for that part. At times it was like watching Allen playing against a younger version of himself. It was absolutely worth the $3 I paid for my copy.
