First thing I watched was the Battle of Shrewsbury, which has had an influence on almost every battle scene filmed since, particularly "Braveheart" and "Gladiator." Then I watched the Keith Baxter interview where he talks about Wells and how wonderfully effective he was as Falstaff. Very moving...

To me, "Lady In Cement" has always been a comedy. While your points on extreme chauvinism and anti gay sentiment are accurate, the films pacing and comedic set ups make it a very entertaining time capsule of a late sixties period that was progressive, but also stubbornly backward in sexist...

"Glory Guys" has always been special. It's an offbeat western that most wish Sam Peckinpah had directed as well as written. I've always liked Tom Tryon and Harve Presnell as the male leads. Senta Berger looks glorious and does a striking job as an independent and earthy woman. Worth fighting...

Well, here's the scoop. There will be spoilers. Maybe not so much spoiling because I saw it in 3D and D-Box on a Saturday night and the crowd was extremely sparse. If you see it before it vanishes, you'll be lucky. It is a completely different take on the tale, not as awful as the critics have...

I got my TT pile of 60s-70s classics: Glory Guys, 2 Sinatras, Theatre of Blood and Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia. Started with the two Tony Romes. The original is a decent noir with a sterling cast, including Gena Rowlands and Simon Oakland. Frank Sinatra's Bogart like charisma and Gordon...

I drooled over "The Pride and the Passion" in its own thread. Not for restoration enthusiasts, but great for "Old Cary Grant fine, how you?" fans who will marvel at the shape the perfect star kept himself in. Grant looked so good he resembled an admiral rather than a captain. Sophia Loren's...

"May I ask what aspect ratio.....?" The picture looks cropped. It's not for perfectionists, just Baby Boomers who love the stars and the movie. Loren lovers like me.

"The Pride And The Passion" has arrived! No, it's not VistaVision. The titles are not sharp and the film does not have the diamond like sharpness, brilliance and pop that make large negative restorations so special. The "Spartacus" restoration spoiled us all for most epic movie Blu redoes. The...

Santa Maria! It has slipped onto my shelf!

Done deal! The 3D BD will replace the standard BD in my 4K UHD edition. I like this movie. No excuses for enjoying it. Elodie Yung, who looks great in 3D, will be at my local ComicCon this weekend. Thank "The Gods of Egypt!"

"I really enjoyed "Two Rode Together"....." Me too! The scene of Jimmy Stewart and Richard Widmark talking by the river is a classic in itself. You have superior taste in actors and films, Josh.

Super Stuff! Looking forward to getting the Blu Rays!

Who, or what, is in this? It's a Terrence Fisher film, so I'm sure he had some decent actors in it. I can't remember or place this film. Any experts on this thread?

"thanks for...." Your welcome Jim! It's nice to hear your thoughts in all your posts. Enjoyed your "Chisum" post which included Chuck Roberson. A really great part of "The Alamo,' both as an actor and a stuntman.
