As I told Ron earlier, I was surprise he liked this film so much based on what I've heard about it. One day, I'll have to check it for myself.

No updates, how was Wonder Woman?

Hey, I thought you viewed Seven Days in May?

Barnes and Noble, $17.82 each.

I'm waiting on my copy to arrive after finally finding a purchasing price that fit my budget. I always loved this film, it's not quite The Wild Bunch to me, but it's an excellent western.

To each his own, but they're a small company that uses a business model that works for them.

I'm glad you like it Ron. Yes, the color palette was by design and over the years, it has been a subject matter for discussion here.

Apparently, Ron is watching Moby Dick for the first time this morning. I'm very interested in reading his remarks about this film.

I'm going to watch this film again because it's a very good introspect of real characters and how they deal with life, especially, when life deals you adversity and tragedy to overcome. My next viewing will be with the audio commentary from the writer/director of the film.

Well Ron, what did you think of Manchester by the Sea?

Yes, the look on Loy's face when Nick shoots out the window is classic to me. You should watch the other films in the following order: After the Thin Man Another Thin Man Shadow of the Thin Man The Thin Man Goes Home Shadow of the Thin Man

The second film with a young Jimmy Stewart is very good. The butler scene in that film is very funny and has been copied many time over in more recent films. Also, really enjoy the third film with Dum Dum.

As to the first Thin Man film, the scene on Christmas morning always cracks me up. The look on Myrna Loy's face is classic after Powell does something I did when I was a kid. I try to watch that film every Christmas and did so again this past holiday.

A Slight Case of Murder is a comedy spoof of Robinson's gangster films so I don't know how the humor will play with you.

They've been relieved and are pulling back from the battle.

The Thin Man films are personal favorites of mine especially the first three films. Also, enjoy A Slight Case of Murder.

Ron, In regard to Battleground, the ending scene with what's left of their platoon marching down that road past replacement troops is one of hell of a scene. It kind of tears me up.

Film appreciation is subjective, but comedy genre is very subjective which is why I'm hesitant to recommending comedies. Every person's sense of humor is unique to them. What I might find very funny doesn't necessarily tickle another person's funny bone.

That's what I get for recommending a comedy. I won't do that again! Also, I shouldn't expect a person of today to watch a 77 year old film and think they would have the same affinity for it that I do, when I first viewed this film as a kid.

Today, I watched His Girl Friday on Blu-ray. It was like watching this excellent film for the very first time. It looked magnificent!

Today, I watched Battteground on Blu-ray. An excellent WW II film with an outstanding cast of actors many of you will recognize from film and TV. Actors from Dennis the Menace's Dad to Marshal Dillon was represented as well as Daktari, Fantasy Island and even Our Gang films.:) That's just a...

Yeah, I know it's coming which is why I'm hoping it comes in 2017.

Yeah, but I'm noting it in this particular thread. No disrespect for your review thread.

A double-feature today. First up was The Undying Monster followed by The Lodger. I was very pleased with Kino's BD releases. I really love John Brahm directed films. Laird Cregar's performance in The Lodger was excellent and should be noted in this thread. I hope Hangover Square is released...

You must have missed this thread.

To get this discussion back on track to film recommendations. I recommend the following film noirs which are on Blu-ray. Pitfall Cry Danger Another film noir recommendation is 99 River Street that I'm about to view on Blu-ray for the first time as I want to listen to the Eddie Muller...

Ron, I have another recommendation that is a 2007 film that you may not have viewed yet. I was channeling surfing today and came across it so I decided to watch it again so I pulled the Blu-ray out from my collection. The film is Michael Clayton starring George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and...

Ron, Most people will not have a problem with the video quality of this Blu-ray. It's far from perfect, but it's not a disaster either. Anyway, it's what we do on forums such as ours, we critique every little detail on these Blu-ray releases so in 95% of them, there will be some kind of issue...

It's a fine western that should be in every serious film buff's collection that has an affinity for that genre.

Frank, I wouldn't do that now. It's a very good western to me and it might be an excellent one to you as film appreciation is subjective. No question, it's a western that doesn't have a long list of better ones.
