Last movie you saw?

I finished watching A Night to Remember, a 1958 movie that tells the story of the Titanic and that fateful night. This movie is very different in tone to Jame Cameron's Titanic and it uses testimony from survivors. Remember this was 44 years after the actual sinking, so there were many of the survivors alive still. This feels almost like a docu-drama of the events. Pretty impressive for a film made in 1958. It'd be interesting if this movie was colorized. If you have any interest in the story of the Titanic, I recommend watching this film.

A Night to Remember is my all time favorite Titanic movie. Not that the others are bad, it's just that this one tells the actual story and doesn't include a fictional romance.

Have you read the book it's based on? If not, I recommend it. It's very good.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women.

Satantango.

I love art movies. But slow 7 hour art movies. It's objectively a great movie but also objectively boring. Sometimes you eat your cinema vegetables.

Suicide Sqaud.

Birds of Prey.

Where did Harley's New York accent come from? She didn't have it in Suicide Squad.

Corvette Summer.

Contagion. Feels more like a docu-drama at this point. I actually appreciate the movie much more now, as they've apparently done some excellent fact-checking on some of the smaller details. Great movie that feels underrated.

Watched 23 Hours to Kill, the latest standup special from Jerry Seinfeld, on Netflix the other night.

May go out to see the original Jaws at a movie theater tonight, one of the local places has opened back up.

The Quick and The Dead. This movie is kind of strange, to be honest. It's a Western made by Sam Raimi at period in the 90's when westerns were undergoing a small resurgence , and for the most part, aside from a few exclusions (ie Tombstone), I don't think that period produced many great ones. I know it's supposed to be a satire and a pastiche of the entire Western genre, but it mostly fell flat for me. It just feels roughly put together. The best parts were seeing Sharon Stone alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, both of which were quite a few years from their winning their first Oscars.

Watched the Great Gatsby the other day...it was a decent watch. I never liked the book much but I certainly didn't mind the movie.

Which version did you watch?

 

[tracy18]

The latest one! With DiCaprio...it didn't cross my mind that there might be other versions! Any of the previous adaptations any good?

There's one from 1949. Robert Redford made one in 1974. Paul Rudd made one in, I believe 1998 or 1999. And I think one or two others, but I don't remember off the top of my head. Try Google.

Every day is a schoolday
The only previous version I was aware of was the Redford version
