Haven't seen any stage versions of it so I can't nit-pick director Hunt's choices as other fans do.
All I know is, I love the film and that feeling grows stronger with each viewing. Unique structure. Fun performances. Witty and ribald dialogue. This last viewing I was struck by the thematic similarities between this and 12 Angry Men. In the latter a possibly innocent boys life is on the line, whereas here it's all the angry congressmen who are potentially sticking their own necks in the noose. It was this film that made me realize that John Hancock wasn't being an egotist with his large bold signature. He was stepping out in front to be first in line for the hangman if the revolution didn't pan out.
I try to put a lot of distance between viewings of favorite movies at this stage of my life, but I could easily see making this an annual watch pre 7/4.
It seemed to be an interminable wait for this to hit Bd, but so worth it now seeing the effort Sony expended on it.

First time I've ever seen it. Good adventure, solid cast, staggeringly good Bd quality. Though I gotta say that the ultra fine sheen of grain has less an organic feel and more of an electronic signature on my set up. It's almost too well resolved and seems to disappear completely during optical transitions (which is when I would think it would be even more pronounced). Still, the level of fine detail on display is incredible.
Not blown away, but I did enjoy it.

OK. Now this one turned out to be a huge, pleasant surprise to me.
It also seems to be a film that will have much more replay-ability than I expected thanks to a well cast roster of entertaining supporting players/characters. Carol Lynley was rock solid as the frantic, possibly delusional, mother- easily the best performance I've seen her give. Noel Coward is amusing as hell as a drunken, pervy letch of a landlord. And Laurence Olivier also gives one of the best, most restrained performances I've ever seen him give. He almost seems to be channeling Alastair Sim in Green For Danger.
Another brilliant A/V release from Sony via Twilight Time.

Didn't realize it had been 9 years already since I originally watched this.
Enjoyed it significantly more this second time around, after being well prepared for what a hodge podge, Frankensteined effort it is. Going in, knowing it won't be dramatically satisfying as a whole, allowed me to concentrate on things like the early Kidder scenes (I still think she was a pitch perfect Lois) and the core Brando scenes, both of which I realize now are some of my favorite Donner Supes material from both films.
Lesters film had always been a huge disappointment to me. Though it offers smoother transitions and a feeling of being more complete, I think that for me, the sparse virtues contained in the Donner cut trump just about anything Lester contributed in his finished film- save for the fairytale kiss which is weak, but still a huge step up from a second world spinning reset.

One of my favorite paranoid thrillers from my favorite paranoid thriller decade. Crichton's medical background helps him shade the casual interactions and hospital goings on in ways that feel honest and authentic which in turn really helps ratchet up the suspense. No matter how often I see it, I still find it a tense ride. Unfortunately the smart and resourceful protagonist does make a couple bonehead moves for plots sake (though TBH, Hitchcocks films were all filled with even worse glaring contrivances).
For a somewhat nondescript catalog release, I was pleasantly surprised with just how nice this one looks. I would be thrilled if most catalog could hit this basic level of quality.

Two NYC cops come to the conclusion that the authority of their badges can easily be exploited to enrich their lives. Gritty quasi-heist movie (written by Donald Westlake) that is never laugh out loud funny, but fitfully amusing-albeit in a very cynical way.
The film looks ragged and rough. Definitely not demo material. Though it's punctuated by shots that are also near pristine so I have to assume this is exactly the way the film has always been. Worth a rental if you ever run across it.

Perfect throwback viewing to cap off a summer holiday. Stunningly attractive image, full of sharply resolved detail and a wide range of colors. Next to Cops & Robbers, this looked like it came from a 4K remaster.
Was surprised to find I didn't remember any plot points from this film from the several times I must have seen it as a kid. Now if Universal can just get around to releasing Ghost & Mr Chicken...

Bruce Gellar (Mission:Impossible) produced and directed tale of a small troupe of pickpockets living the high life under the leadership James Coburn. The examination of the pickpockets art is fascinating. Unfortunately the dramatic material surrounding it is slight and not really that satisfying. And it all ends on an anti-climatic note.
Decent encode of a mostly solid, well lensed source.

Crackerjack Hitchcock.
Despite Robert Harris being slightly disappointed with Universals effort here, I'm one of those "casual viewers" for whom this more than fills the bill. Apart from a half dozen or so dupey shots, I thought the vast majority of the film looked incredible and I'm very satisfied owning it, as is.

"The Squire Of Gothos" ep from
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...TL._AA160_.jpg
:lol: William Campbell's Squire always brings a smile to my face. Not a very deep or profound ep, but still one of my favorites of the shows run.

The Duff...absolutely smitten with this one. sure it is contrived and jumbles every ten-com into one, but i was sucked in and enjoyed every minute of this one.

Chappie...chapped my hide it was so bad.
Focus...lacked focus, and engaging characters and a story, etc...

re: Last BD or 4K UHD disc you watched?
 

Chappie was not a masterpiece but still entertaining.

Focus was ok but nothing really groundbreaking and the ending was stupid.

Top Five

I thought it was decent and not horrible as some people claim it was though one scene with Rock and Cedric the Entertainer in a hotel room lol.

Body of Lies

Oscar Isaac was in this movie too.

Warner Bros. finally gets around to releasing New Line's The Cell. This is the unrated cut with a newer transfer, opposed to the older, muddier transfer done for the 2009 Alliance BD with the theatrical cut.

It Follows...pretty decent little suspense/thriller/horror hybrid. very unsettling and good use of music. very The Entity-ish.
