With the dearth of anything really new coming out and most of the stuff that is being garbage, I have been spending time re-watching old classics. My wife was never a big movie fan so I have realized she lived a deprived life and has never seen very many of the great old ones. Lately we watched Casablanca, the Hustler & Color of Money, 3 Days of the Condor, the Boys from Brazil, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Lawrence of Arabia and last night I caught Zulu. One good thing about free streaming channels like IMDB, Tubi and Pluto is they have a nice selection of older classics. One never has to concern oneself with SJW crap in movies made before 1980.

I have a DoVi rip of Lawrence of Arabia I've been wanting to watch when I have the time to devote 4 hours to a movie. I'm hoping it's as good as people say.

It was on Amazon Prime last month. Not sure if it is still available for free. I find with the classics you have to sit back and acknowledge some shit is what it is (special effects, even scenes of driving in a car) in terms of age and language. Watching Zulu you see every African women shirtless with titties hanging out and the Boer making frequent use of the word Kaffir. Different times.

Watching how the Brits used formation rank fire against waves of charging Zulu warriors was amazing.

I watched Zulu a few years ago. I think it was back when I was on pay TV ( cable ) .

Full 1080 HD conversion. It was fantastic, visually great and the action holds up pretty good. There's a really good scene before the big battle when the Zulu chant, the British soldiers then respond by doing their singing. It got the goosebumps coming up.

I think a lot of these older films have been undeservedly put on a back shelf, due in large part to the fact most people only ever watched them on old school TV. If you didn't see them in the cinema during their run, then your only other option was a poor image quality, 4:3 aspect ratio TV conversion. Which if you had watched from VHS tape, then a few steps of lower quality again.

It was just so... British. "I am an engineer with no field experience but I out rank you by 3 months." "What are your orders sir?" Perfect.

I recommend Cleopatra. The film almost bankrupt Fox and it looks magnificent. Elizabeth Taylor never looked sexier too.

The peplum to end all pepla (though technically not a peplum since it's about Ramses XIII), is the 1966 polish film Pharaoh.


LOL at that format, that seem to me even wider than 2.35.

I was listening to Bert Kreischer interview Jason Biggs on his Podcast this morning, and it really put me in the mood to watch American Pie again. I haven't seen it since it was in theaters.

Turns out there's 9 of them now. Jesus christ. They just keep going.

I have a soft spot for Bogart. He did some of my favorite films. Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, Key West, To Have and Have Not, the Big Sleep, Sierra Madre.

Also, if you have never seen the original Manchurian Candidate (fuck that shitty remake), it is top shelf. So is 12 Angry Men.

It's getting close to the 80's but Jeremiah Johnson for sure


I was convinced I was going to be a high mountain trapper until I was about 12 because of this movie

Cool Hand Luke and The Hustler are two movies I can always watch. Paul Newman was the best actor of the 20th Century.

If you want something more recent and are a western fan I highly recommend The Searchers. It might be the best Western ever made. Its my favorite John Ford film.

I also recommend the anti western McCabe and Mrs Miller by the great Robert Altman.

Another one I love is Shane. I have a real soft spot for that movie. Has lots of similar themes to The Searchers.

have you seen Night Of The Grizzly? its about a killer bear that is a sneaky mofo and doubles back on you if you try to track it.. its a good old western with all the character actors of the time. Clint Walker stars and the dude is basically so chiseled you would think he was drawn from a superhero comic book.
