Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
I'm not a sports fan but do enjoy some sports films. Mainly those that feature stories about perseverance under hardship. The Stratton Story just about fits that description. It's watchable but I really didn't care for the main character when he went into full "Poor me" mode. I get that baseball was his life - but he also had a farm, a loving wife, child, and mother. The farm could easily fulfill all his needs - just not his desire to play ball. Based on the film, Stratton was a good, and simple, man who didn't truly want much out of life which made me even more question his fall into depression over losing the ability to play ball. It's not like he was one of the great players of all time who underwent a tragedy and lost it all due to his injury. James Stewart seemed too old to play the main character which also took me out of it a bit. Overall, an enjoyable film but not one I'm likely to rewatch.

Dead Ringer was good. I'm not sure I would classify it as a horror movie but it was interesting. I felt a little bad for the main character. It was a movie that really showed that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
My list:
1. Conflict (1945)
2. The Unsuspected (1947)
3. Gangs of New York (2002)
4. David and Bathsheba (1951)

I wasn't really in the mood to watch David and Bathsheba, but I watched it anyway. I thought it was good and probably would've enjoyed it more if I watched it at a different time. The acting was good and they stuck pretty close to the bible, which I liked.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Hellfighters was a royally missed opportunity and a rather meh movie. I was expecting to see more of how oil well fire fighting operations work and keep things under control. Instead there were "action" sequences that really didn't advance the plot - oh wait... the plot was mainly stuff of soap operas. Get wives/girlfriends involved and put them in harm's way (them doing it to themselves BTW) with danger created due to them being where they didn't need to be. Way too talky. I'd call this the worst John Wayne film I've ever seen.

If you think about Predators too hard then you can find plot holes but if you just sit and watch it you can enjoy it. I thought the special effects were great and that the Predators looked real. I also enjoyed the fight scenes. I thought they were very well done. I would definitely recommend watching it if you haven't already.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
It's called a Marilyn Monroe film but it belongs to Curtis and Lemon just as much as her.The War Wagon was a fun little throw away type film. Part revenge, part caper, it generally worked well. Wayne looked as if he were having lots of fun with his part. Douglas wasn't needed and felt a bit pasted on, which is a shame as I've read the director gave up half his salary just to hire him for the film.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
The FBI Story combined a series of case vignettes with a look at an agent's life at home and how it impacts his family. It was generally interesting but overly long at 2 and a half hours! It followed the career of an agent from just before the formation of the FBI until the "current time" of roughly 1959. I read that Herbert H Hoover had to approve the entire film, he personally selected James Stewart for the lead, and that there were agents on set at all times to provide information and insure nothing was done to detract from the image of the service. It shows as it's a "high five" type film about the FBI. Stewart was good as was this supporting cast. It's just at least a half hour too long.

I pick The Fighting 69th.
Office Space was very relatable. Of course my favorite part was when they beat up the printer. I would definitely watch it again.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
The Fighting 69th (1940) is a pretty standard war movie. "Bad boy" causes trouble, doesn't get along, ignores superiors and finally comes around. I wouldn't consider it to be one of Cagney's best but it's not bad.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
The Paths of Glory was very good. It's also quite infuriating. It's a WWI movie that takes you through the trenches. A push against the German line that fails. A court martial for cowardice brought by a glory-seeking general after part of his force falls back under fire in an impossible attack. The results of that court martial. It's well acted, well scripted, well directed. A Kubrick film I'd somehow never seen. Superb.

You Can't Take It with You sounded familiar to me before I put it on my list. Since I've watched it I remember that I saw the play a few years ago. I really enjoyed the play and I enjoyed the movie as well. It may be one of the my favorites of the classic films. The entire movie was enjoyable and I was laughing multiple times. I think I would've enjoyed being in the family. I definitely recommend watching it.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
The Spirit of St. Louis was very good. It's the story of Lindberg's first solo Atlantic crossing. Of course we know how it ends but they still manage to keep tension in the flight. They use flashbacks to events in his life that lead up to the moment during the long flight to break things up. Also dealt with is the funding and building of the airship. Recommended.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Torrid Zone was lots of fun. It's full of little zingers and one-liners and also had lots of stars and character actors. If you've watched older movies for any length of time you'll likely recognize anyone who has a line. It features one of my favorite character actors, gravelly voiced Andy Devine. George Reeves (Superman) was one of the Mexican banditos! I'd absolutely watch it again.
Here's one of the zingers...
Gloria (Helen Vinson) and Nick (James Cagney) are on the porch. Gloria's putting the moves on Nick when Lee (Ann Sheridan) comes in to catch them kissing.
Lee: [picking up a cigarette just dropped by Gloria] I believe this is how the Chicago fire got started.
Gloria: The Chicago fire was started by a cow.
Lee: History repeats itself.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Edge of Tomorrow - Alien invaders + Tom Cruise + Groudhog Day. A surprisingly good mix. Enjoy!
It's a rare James Stewart film I do not like. I liked The Naked Spur. Howard Kemp (Stewart) is a bounty hunter looking to bring Ben Vangdergroat (Robert Ryan) in for the $5,000 reward so he can buy back his ranch. He hires Jesse Tate (Millard Mitchel) for $20 in the final leg of his hunt only to have a dishonorably discharged Union soldier, Roy Anderson (Ralph Meeker), stumble in and ruin his plans. He's now stuck with 2 "partners" and a woman (Leigh) trying to get Kemp back for the reward. Of course there's trouble...

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge

My list:
1. Sparkle (1976)
2. The Unsuspected (1947)
3. A Slight Case of Murder (1938)
4. The Zero Boys (1986)
5. Creed (2015)
6. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)
7. The Space Between Us (2017)
8. Scarface (1983)
9. Sisters (2015)

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Captains of the Clouds was kind of "meh." It's rather predictable and cliche' with Cagney playing a very unlikable character. He cheats, steals jobs by undercutting his friends, and steals one friend's girlfriend (OK... in all fairness she's rather "loose" and not the least bit faithful and he did it for his friend's sake...). It also started very slow and took over half the film to get to the "point" and "good bits." The rather grim ending is all it really has going for it. It's a Warner Brothers "propaganda" film made right before the US entered WWII and hits all the notes for such fare.

3. Royal Wedding (1951)
4. The Zero Boys (1986)

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Morocco (1930) was a fairly typical drama/romance type movie of its day. While I mostly enjoyed the performances of Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich there was little chemistry between them. I didn't particularly care for the many times the movie stopped for Dietrich to basically stand there and sing.
