There are so few good films around boxing.  This is one of the few.

I am actually ahead of you here, Dave, I upgraded to the Blu-ray some little time ago

Well, a step ahead of me!    Dave

Yes, only a step

In this evening's projection booth:  Shadows and Fog

I believe I've only seen that once before. I have almost no memory of it. Time for a relook. Glad you enjoyed Stardust

Cheers, Sarge!

There's something special about Woody's films shot in black and white, his creative style fits perfectly within that visual presentation. And I love Shadows and Fog, an amazing cast and music, lots of Weill.  There are many laugh out loud moments mixed with Allen's usual serious discussions on death.
I hope you enjoy it, Karl.

The opening credits have just rolled, it is an amazing (I might almost say inconceivable) cast ....

The scene between Cusack and Malkovich in the bar: priceless.

Also: I owe it to The Bobs that I recognized "Moon of Alabama."

This might be the best casts assembled for a Woody film. I love the scene with Donald Pleasence when the killer visits him.
And the Pepper Escape

This is wonderful, the best of his I've seen yet. This should be no surprise: an artist waxes yet better with time and experience, right? But, even though the experience of viewing the documentary predisposed me to like this one ... much as I have always loved Manhattan, say, Shadows and Fog has a unified perfection which was not attained (IMO) in any other movie of his I've seen. This is a new, sudden favorite.

Fantastic, Karl! I love hearing this, makes me want to watch again right now. Have you seen Zelig? Or Purple Rose of Cairo? Or Broadway Danny Rose?

Caught this on TCM a while back.  The tone of the film was outstanding.  Another favorite boxing film of mine besides the original Rocky would be Bogey's The Harder They Fall.

Excellent film - Ryan was quite good - he is not often recognized for his great versatility in films.  But, I was curious about 'good' boxing films and looked at the number of googled lists which were quite variable, although a handful of films consistently appear in the top 10; below from HERE is a list of 25 which sort of matches my thoughts although I've not seen all of those movies - The Set-Up is #10 in this listing - and glad to see the Paul Newman performance there - not sure that I'd put so many of the Rocky films in the top 25 (own just the first one from 1976, although I've seen them all).  Dave

If you have a DVR, Aug. 22nd, 4:15 A.M. E.D.T. here in the U.S. you can find on Turner Classic Movies:

Macbeth (1971)

After being taken last week to see the Orson Welles 'Macbeth' in an 18th century church, this evening the nice blonde dancer lady took me to the same venue to view Polanski's version. Lensed by Gil Taylor (Dr. Strangeglove, Omen, A Hard Day's Night, and of course, Star Wars) this is a rather earthy and violent perusal, and none the worse for that. Also: Francesca Annis was a hottie.

I was informed that tickets to see the more recent Justin Kurzel directed offering were available for next weekend, but while it has been cool seeing two films in this grand old church the presentation has been less than ideal, and so it's a no go for me.

Finally, I don't know what was available to them, but I'd have thought that perhaps a trio of Welles/Kurosawa/Polanski might have been interesting to see.

After managing to catch most of men's wrestling at the Olympics (thanks to internet streams) this looked like the logical conclusion. The film is quite slow, quiet, eerie affair. All muted colors and heavy atmosphere in which you just wait for something bad to happen. Very good cast, Ruffalo especially. I didn't know the story beforehand. Good film, though maybe not for everyone.
