Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir was interesting. At times I felt like it was a little slow but other times it was really good. I thought it was funny when the ghost would speak and the other people would think it was her. There was enough comedy to keep me interested and I really enjoyed the ending. It's worth watching.
My list:
1. Lila & Eve (2015)
2. Silent Movie (1976)
3. Gangs of New York (2002)
4. Selma (2014)
5. Ocean's 11 (1960)

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Can-Can (1960) is a "Road Show" musical. That means it's far too long for its own good (almost 2 1/2 hours!). Every time it started to move and tell the story it stopped for a loooong song and/or dance routine. It has a good cast but there wasn't a single memorable song. I'll not waste time with this one again.

Silent Movie is one of my least favorite Mel Brooks films. I'm not sure if it was because it was a silent movie or if it was because it wasn't as funny as his other films. This is one that I wouldn't recommend to people.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Reap the Wild Wind (1942) was better than I expected and had an ending I didn't quite see coming. That's always a good thing. I generally like Paulette Goddard but her character was my least favorite thing about the movie. She was fickle, conniving, and generally the cause of much of the trouble. It has some fairly good underwater sequences although the giant squid is slightly laughable. Good directing, costumes, sets, acting, and a decent script. I'd watch it again.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Rooster Cogburn (1975) was serviceable but nothing great. It pretty much recycles the story told in The African Queen putting it in the West and replacing Bogart with Wayne. The music was rather generic sounding. Hepburn has some good lines but it wasn't enough to make the movie a "must see." If someone asks to see it I'll put it on but won't likely choose it myself. Not that it's "bad" but because there are far better John Wayne movies available.

Even though Brewster's Millions is supposed to be a comedy, it was more stressful to me than funny. The butler was the funniest character to me and the rest of the move just stressed me out. I was on edge until the very end. I'm not sure the if the remake with John Candy and Richard Pryor would be funnier or if it would stress me out as well.

Silent Running for you. Enjoy!
I'd read that Star! (1968), along with Doctor Dolittle and Hello Dolly were the films that almost bankrupted Fox. After watching it I fully understand why (I've seen the other two and they're just fair films themselves). Not that it's necessarily "bad" but it's just not that good. It's almost 3 hours(!?!) and a biopic of a vaudeville/Broadway star I've never heard of. She did a few films but none I've ever seen and most I've never heard of prior to looking them up. It's also full of mostly unremarkable and unmemorable tunes. The most interesting part is she was close friends with Noël Coward and his first musical review was written for her. I've also learned she starred in the Broadway production of The King and I, which was her final role. Fox felt the need for another Julie Andrews production after the stellar success of The Sound of Music and came up with this. Andrews was very good, as always, in the role and is in good voice. It's a shame there weren't any noteworthy songs in the production.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
The Wings of Eagles (1957) was interesting, although my initial impression of the main character was he was somewhat a jerk due to the way he treated his wife after the accident that cripple him. I'm generally not a fan of biographical movies but this one, with John Ford directing and John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara starring, was almost a natural. It didn't hurt that it's also partially biographical about John Ford as he was the director who worked with Frank Read and gave him his first break.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Dance, Girl, Dance (1940) is just another, rather generic, musical with very little comedy although it's billed as a musical/drama/comedy film. O'Hara does a good job and it's very odd seeing Lucille Ball in a vamp/mankiller type role but it's just not a very interesting film.

Since I picked an animated film last time I'm choosing another one. I really enjoyed Moana it has a good message and good music.
I don't think I'll be watching The Thomas Crown Affair again any time soon. There were scenes that I felt were entirely too long and I really didn't like the music they had playing either. All together I found it to be a predictable movie that didn't hold my attention.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
I found this one to be rather forgettable and not much more than a repeat of much of what's already been done in the series. The original Mad Max is still the best but "Fury Road" is at least worth a viewing.
My Friend Flicka (1943) is a rather generic "Boy gets responsibility and grows up a bit" type story. It's not bad, but it's not that great either, and rather forgetable. It was more interesting to see McDowall as a young actor. I was constantly annoyed that Roddy McDowall wasn't voice coached to not speak with a British accent when everyone else is pretty much mid-western US. Maybe the "boarding school" setup is what gave him that but it was distracting nonetheless. Much of the movie was set bound, even scenes which screamed to be location. Another minor annoyance. And a couple of scenes that made me think the boy was supposed to be much younger than the story wants you to believe. They say he failed the 5th grade, making him ~11 (McDowall was 14 when it was filmed), but the dad, at least once, carries him as if he were 8 or younger. It has good production values and looks very good. I was expecting somewhat a tear jerker story but that's not the case. Maybe I need to be 10-12 to really enjoy this one.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
The original Ocean's 11 with The Rat Pack. Enjoy.I never quite know what to make of Cagney in a musical. I always think of him playing a hard biting criminal type in a gangster film in spite of him having done all types of roles. The West Point Story was OK but I enjoyed it more for Doris Day and Virginia Mayo. A surprise was finding Alan Hale, Jr. in the movie in a fairly large role. The movie is a rather generic throw-away musical. Nothing special or memorable but a fun diversion with a rather standard plot. See it for who's in it, not for plot or music.

I really didn't care for Ocean's 11. I liked the remake a lot more. I even liked the two sequels better than this version. To me it seemed to take too long and when I looked on IMDB it is longer than the remake. I felt like it took a long time to introduce all of the characters and actually figure out what the plan was. I was disappointed by the ending as well. I will not be watching this movie again.
My list:
1. Conflict (1945)
2. The Unsuspected (1947)
3. Gangs of New York (2002)
4. Why Worry? (1923)
5. Predators (2010)

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Santa Fe Stampede (1938) is a rather standard "B" Western from that era. While quite formulaic, it was also quite fun and nice to see John Wayne in one of his earlier roles. One of the side-kicks was Ray "Crash" Corrigan. This was a perfect Saturday matinee viewing.

5. Flame of Barbary Coast (1945) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037702
I really enjoyed Why Worry?. It was funny and a good story. My favorite part was when he said "You boys will have to stop this fighting. It's bad for my heart." If you've never seen a silent film then this would be the one to start with.
My list:
1. Conflict (1945)
2. The Unsuspected (1947)
3. Gangs of New York (2002)
4. Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
5. Predators (2010)
6. Dead Ringer (1964)
7. The Space Between Us (2017)
8. Scarface (1983)

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Flame of Barbary Coast is another good, early, John Wayne vehicle. Fortunately, the "musical" part is not a large part of the story and consists mostly of dance hall/saloon type entertainments performed by the female lead. It's so little that I'm surprised this has a "musical" genre tag. Whew! That's good as I'm not a huge fan of the format. Again, it's a rather standard type tale but well done with a couple of twists. Quite enjoyable.
