I have been buying up the 2 disc Centennial Collection versions of Audrey Hepburn's 1950s movies, picture quality is superb with good upscaling DVD player and the bonus disc has all kinds of cool featurettes and documentaries.........they don't make pictures like this anymore

... and there won't be a girl like that never again.

I will say without hesitation Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actress, I find her absolutely enchanting.......

Her activites with UNICEF and other charities after retirement only add to her appeal, a beautiful person

We are in complete agreement here, DA. She is also one of my favorite actresses. I fell in love with her after I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's. She was so feminine, charming and naturally elegant...

You Hepburn fans need to watch Carey Mulligan's performance in An Education. She's a marvelous actress and she'll have you wondering if the spirit of Audrey is alive and well again.



She's kind of stooping in this photo, but whatever.

Good call, Brian.

I couldn't find the tv thread, so...



Three episodes in and three to go. This series is the best one yet!

Out in the summer. Yeeesssss!

Last night: Iron Man 2.  Enjoyed it as much as the last one.  Cool ending after the credits are finished.

This morning, from 1955:




Nice Clint Eastwood cameo, to boot:

WERNER HERZOG:   "Aguirre der Zorn Gottes"

To me, this is one of the greatest movies ever made. The images have an extraordinary beauty, a sort of contrast to the madness of the characters.
The performance of Klaus Kinski became legendary.

Even if it seems a sacrilege, I must admit that I prefer this movie to Coppola's Apocalypse Now (there are many points in common between the two movies).

     There are many points in common but Aguirre is a far better film IMO. Apocalypse is a bloated mess by comparison, though in parts it's brilliant. There is no such flaw in Aguirre.

Gotcha.   When they stop charging an extra fee at the local Carmike I'll go see it, and wait through the credits.

I'll follow up on your cheesy vintage monster movies with Jason and the Argonauts which I'll be watching today.

[Scarpia]

"Very Bad Things" written by Peter Berg and with an ensemble cast led by Christian Slater and Cameron Diaz.  Somewhat disturbing but very well done.  An accident which occurs at a bachelor party escalates into a series of more and more heinous crimes, due to the influence of fear, a sociopath and Bridezilla.

      Great film!

      Great film! RE: Jason and the Argonauts!

King Kong (1933) w/ Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, and Bruce Cabot - one of the original BEST 'stop-action animation' films before the invention to computers, CGI, etc!  Ray Harryhausen (1920-) who did the stop-action for the Jason film mentioned above (and of course many others) had seen King Kong as a young teenager (many times for that matter!) - the experience changed his life and led to a long career - he'll be 90 in June!

Hello Bill - thanks for the link - took me to a thread on the 'best' stop-action classic scenes; seems like King Kong w/ T. Rex was one of the favorites!

The 2-DVD set shown previously is also the newest restoration, not only of the film but also the addition of previously deleted scenes, esp. those w/ Fay Wray in the pre-Hollywood code days, such as the one w/ her on the deck of the ship (fuzzy but clear!) - also loved all of her 'frighteded' poses, just one below!  Dave

Driving Miss Daisy with Masha & Mamochka Saturday night. Fully as charming as I had been expecting. No idea why I'd never seen this before.
