I just watched Old Yeller (1957) for the 100th time over the course 50 plus years, and yet it still makes me cry. Anyone else get teary eyed over this movie?
Blow Out Pretty good. The climax almost ruined the movie, but the last minute redeemed the 20 that came before it. I'd always heard how much Brian De Palma liked Dario Argento. I saw that influence a lot more here than in Dressed to Kill.
I can only imagine humans who didn't love animals would be the ones who wouldn't cry after seeing this movie. It really is a tear jerker..
Seems bigger than I remember it.
It was a good movie as a kid, it was sad but I don't remember getting teary over it.

Well, I'm a sensitive kind of guy. As a kid I don't remember crying over it.
I was thinking about Reign of Fire yesterday and it was on a little while ago. I really need to think of the winning lottery numbers dang it.
Just saw American Sniper. Ive never heard a theater so quiet in my life and the entire audience sat through the credits. Great movie.
Divergent (2014)- It was ok, but a bit tedious. Seemed to live in the same neighborhood as Hunger Games and Ender's Game, but not as good.
I wanted to see the movie Lucy last summer wen it came out. Well now that it hit On Demand, I was able too. All I can say is wow, I'm so glad I didn't waste my money going to the theaters, it was pretty bad. Scarlett Johansson was awful in the movie, the story line could have gone in so many different directions and would have been better. It was a stinker for sure.
^ Agreed. Lucy and Johanssen were not good.
Speaking of not good: Snow White and the Huntsman - ZZZZ... that's a couple of hours of I'd like back.

A good concept but just awful execution. They could have done so much more.
I saw American Sniper and Whiplash this weekend. Both really, really good. Whiplash was super intense - great performances by everyone.
I agree completely, the movie really had so many opportunities to take in a direction that would have been thought provoking and engaging. It was neither.
oscar's movies, of course.
i watched boyhood, imitation game and budapest hotel.
today i'll watch whiplash.
tomorrow the theory of everything, maybe.
in the weekend, american sniper.

It was a little quiet, but nothing compared to the cinema after Shindlers List. That was so quiet. Even when we got to the car park, nobody spoke.
Just watched the Decendents with George Clooney. Not my usual type of film, but interesting watch.
I've enjoyed that movie over the years as light hearted john Wayne, Stewart Grainger, Ernie Kovacs, and Capucine fare.
Jack Reacher (2012)- if you can get by Tom Cruise's tired tough guy imitation, not a bad story. I've enjoyed other recent TC movies, but I did not like his approach to this character, although I never read the book(s). Free to watch on Amazon Prime...

But, but, the trailer looks good!
I'll eventually stream it. (Lucy)

Well, I haven't seen American Sniper, but the most silent, still and stunned response I have ever experienced as part of a cinema audience was after the screening of the extraordinary Indonesian documentary 'The Act of Killing' which I saw in the late summer of 2013. The audience left the cinema in a complete and utterly stupefied silence. Not a word was spoken.
The Act Of Killing who/whom? I seem to remember it was quiet leaving Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List.

Schundler's List really did a number on me emotionally. I don't think I've ever cried so much watching any movie. This is why I probably could never watch it again.
Fiddler on the Roof. For the first time, thanks to Amazon Prime and my Fire Stick.
I don't get out much.
