Josh, like everyone else, I truly appreciate your eloquent, comprehensive and insightful reviews...I too have sought out or revisited a number of films precisely because of your inspiration...it's amazing that there are now 55 pages for a thread that you started in February...I really enjoy...

Wonderful and evocative review, Josh...The Dish is a beautiful little film...it puts a smile on my face just thinking of it now, although I haven't seen it since it's debut on home video...so, the charming warmth of that treasure persists in my memory to this day...it recaptured some of the...

This seemed appropriate to the discussion here...a great fan tribute short video...enjoy!

Thanks for the photo upload, Jeff! I did click to enlarge... Ann Margaret is a tremendous talent...as anyone who has seen her nightclub shows in Vegas, Reno and Tahoe can attest...among others, love her in Train Robbers, Cincinnati Kid, Grumpy Old Men, Carnal Knowledge, Tommy...the Grindhouse...

Great review, Josh, I also feel the urge to revisit this movie! Three Days of the Condor is a very well done and entertaining thriller... and in a fictional and representative way, reflects in popular cinema the real world chaos and dissolution in the real CIA of the early '70s post Vietnam and...

Very eloquent and insightful review, Josh...and although I haven't seen it lately, I think I would nearly completely agree with everything you say about Lonesome Dove...it certainly was well received in '89, and acclaimed for it's cast and epic scale...and well received too by Westerns fans in...

Glad you enjoyed Ulzana's Raid, Alan...Burt is great in this film, which personally I rank in my top 5 Lancaster movies...along with Atlantic City, Elmer Gantry, Sweet Smell of Success (Tony Curtis is stunning in this one as well) and Birdman of Alcatraz...but he delivered so many charismatic...

High and the Mighty (color, WS, 1954) is a '50s forerunner of Airport, big cast, soapy storylines for the multitude of characters crammed into a Hawaii to San Fran flight, imperiled by the requisite inflight disaster...good melodrama which sometimes drags, but worth it...Duke and Robert Stack at...

I first saw Mclintock! first run theatrical when I was 7...loved it, especially the finale of course, being as a good day off for me in those days was sitting in a mud puddle making a good pie, ha, ha...but I haven't seen it in it's totality for years...Maureen O'Hara is spectacular, of...

Thanks for that info regarding the forthcoming Explosive Media blu release of Ulzana's Raid, Ramin...I have a region free player, so I'll jump on that and not wait for a region A release...it is an important film to me...it should look great in HD, the DVD is already very good...beautiful...

Oh, yes, The Professionals looks Great on blu...Vera Cruz looks pretty good too...both Great Westerns, of course...as for Burt Lancaster, I have a soft spot for The Scalphunters, which has him as a part of a great action comedy team with the Great Ossie Davis...and a wretchedly evil Telly...

Jeff, you remind me of some other Great Westerns...yes, Valdez is Coming and Lawman, definitely...and of course Robert Redford's Jeremiah Johnson the very next year...even though the early '70s seemed to be the cinematic sunset of the American Western, there really were some treasures produced...

Josh and Alan, I look forward to your reviews of Ulzana's Raid when you get around to it...it's a film that was pushing the envelope for on screen violence in '72...even after The Wild Bunch...and for years afterward was cut heavily for TV airings because of it...I remember it being quite...

Thank you Alan for the kind praise...I too have often looked to your insightful observations as guidance in viewing the best of Dr. Kildare and Lost in Space...among other things...and with grateful admiration for your essential role (with others) in restoring original night of broadcast music...

I like John Wayne's The Cowboys too, it's pretty good late career Duke...I barely remember the TV spin off, but for those who enjoy early '70s TV Westerns, almost seeming at the time to be the last hurrah for the genre, until sporadic revivals of varying effect... I can recommend two series...
