Tom Geiger Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've never seen Yellow Rolls Royce. So I can not comment on that one. Scott A 1964 movie that was actually about the car. It tells the tale of the car's life from new in 1932 to 1964 and it's many owners. One of those "if this car could talk..." tales. Like many movies of this era it has a huge list of stars from Ingrid Bergman to Omar Sharif to Wally Cox to Shirley MacLaine. Somehow the movie wound up out of circulation and never got released on tape. I dug deep and found someone on a Bergman fan site that had a copy and was doing DVDs. I saw this once when I was a kid and was enthralled with the car story. All of my cars... drawings, models and Matchbox cars got painted yellow and black (the actual scheme on the car) for years. So the movie went on my bucket list until I was able to score my copy... and as life usually goes, the memories were better than the actual movie! Still I drag it out about once a year and watch it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Aside from the Italian Job with Edward Norton playing the bad guy, have you seen the movie The Score, also with Edward Norton as the bad guy. Robert DeNiro and Marlon Brando in what I think was his last movie...... Jeeze, he reminded me of Jabba The Hut in that movie... he was HUGE...!!!

Greg Myers Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Some movies you have to watch more than once to fully understand,for example "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is the best example. I think I've seen Pulp fiction,Blues Brothers, Drive, all the F & F movies,ect. a dozen or so times. Movie wisdom, some movies you can watch over and over and still see new stuff. So true Austin.

sjordan2 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Last year, I finally got a flat-screen 40" Sony HD TV to replace my old 27" Sony CRT TV. So I've been watching a lot of movies from my collection several times, and it's a complete revelation about many movies. Anything I ever watched before, I'm watching again with a new perspective.

Interesting about screen size. I remember when I bought my first 32" screen. We thought that was huge! Last time around we were looking for our first flat screen. A friend told me to get the biggest one we could afford, and it would seem huge at first, but soon enough it would look normal. Got a 55" and he was absolutely right!

Agent G Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 12 O'Clock High is, arguably, one of the best war movies ever made. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 12 O'Clock High is, arguably, one of the best war movies ever made. G Yes I agree - and I'll always watch The Dambusters when it's repeated - hard to beat as a war film and never repeatable since they used real ex-RAF Lancasters and genuine bomb trial and photo-recce post-raid footage.

clovis Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I am like Harry...one and done, for the most part.I have watched the Band of Brothers series so much that, at one time, I could almost say the words along with the actors as they said them, LOL.I also have watched Saving Private Ryan a million times, and the original Red Dawn. I own all of the above movies, so it is easy to pop those in as background noise, or something to watch as I doze off on a Sunday afternoon.There are things, sometimes, that I can watch over and over, as time permits, like past Indianapolis 500 races. I'll watch them on YouTube. Most of the time, I am watching these in 15 to 20 minute increments, as I have the time, and will fast forward to where I left off the last time.I haven't sat down with the sole plans to watch any movie in so long that I don't remember ever doing it. Who has time for that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
