Asphalt Jungle is a must see.A jewel heist gone awry.It was on AMC a while back.I just can't rave enough about Sterling Hayden.One of my all time favorite actors.Sam Jaffe,from Ben Casey TV fame,Marilyn Monroe and directed by John Huston.Sorry I spazed on ya about Taxi.I Did mean Taxi Driver.With those night shots of the wet pavement,very noir.Dark City does have a noir feel to it.Have not seen Midnight In The Garden.Yep,sometimes I think I was born 30 years too early. YECH
Well, this is another one to see! Have you seen Hayden in "The Killing"? Another great tough guy role.I think next week, I'll devote myself to just watching some of these old movies. Got to get out the Chandler books too.
The Big Sleep. Chandler by way of Bogart and Bacall.
Thank god for AMC and Turner Classic Movies.The local Family Video doesn't even have Sunset Blvd.YECH
I'm not sure if we have Turner Movie Classics on our cable. Does it have commercials interrupting?Out here in the wilderness, we're starving for some of these old videos, well, a very few of us, actually. There used to be a great video store in a city about 30 miles away, but, alas, they closed. They had every video imaginable, even foreign. I sometimes think I'd be in my element running a specialty video store. Trouble is around here, the folks are very short term oriented. If it's older than 2 o 3 years forget it. Foreign films---you gotta be kidding!
