I've got so many movies to see but never have time

I understand that Mitch! I have been on a old movies kick and have been looking at old reboots. For example I like Fredric March as Mr Hyde more so than Spencer Tracy. I still haven't seen John Barrymore's version.

"Baby Driver" is definitely worth seeing, for the music alone. "Brighton Rock" by Queen? Yessir. "Hocus Pocus" by Focus? Bingo. 

Sometimes a diversion is what I want.

I have read the book, but have not seen the movie.  Cormac McCarthey who also wrote 'No country for old men' and 'The Road' was the author.  My personal preference as far as the books would be for those two ahead of 'All the pretty horses.'. 

Cormac McCarthey is my favorite author.  The pictures he paints of Appalachia amaze me -- but all of the un-translated Spanish.......

Been watching an old movie this evening. Has the line "They call me Mr. Tibbs!!" Any thoughts!

Several years ago I started working my way through AFI top 100 movies. Get them on Netflix DVD or catch them on TMC for the most part. Love the special features some DVDs have, or the commentary on TMC. I've probably made my way through about half.

I either get on genre kicks like every October I start DVRing old horror movies or go after movies with certain actors. I have been watching Sydney Portier movies lately. Does not help that TCM programming matches my mindset☺. Then like Ness I will try to get through some of those lists.

We did watch a classic comedy this week. Had the infamous "Picking out a Thermos" song. Also had lines like

"Die gaspumper!" "These cans are defective!""Waiter there are snails on her plate!"

I've got to try him someday. I've heard lot of great things.

When Steve Martin first came out, he was the hippest dude ever. He had the comedy world by the tail and was co-hosting on SNL often.

Then he jumped the shark......

 

I wonder if he cringes when he looks back? 😂
